Oak Creek Terrace Nursing & Rehab Center

Oak Creek Terrace Nursing & Rehabilitation sits over on Springmill Road in Beavercreek, Ohio, and they've been helping seniors since 1986, which is something you don't hear about every day anymore, with Caring Place Healthcare Group still owning and running the place like a family business, and all the while the whole building's been fixed up so it looks more modern, with a neat, clean feel to it. The staff includes nurses on duty 24 hours along with another nurse who's there part-time, and the nursing team is known for giving pretty compassionate care, plus there are folks on site trained for memory care, so they help residents in the 21-bed Alzheimer's and dementia unit where the focus is on safety and comfort and adjusting to each person's needs. The center covers all sorts of care: skilled nursing, memory care, long-term stays, assisted living, independent living, adult day services, hospice care, plus home health care, and they even set up home care that doesn't involve medical help if that's what you want. Oak Creek Terrace has 69 beds for skilled nursing (including 33 private rooms), and there are assisted living one-bedroom or studio apartments with private baths, kitchenettes with wood floors, closets, kitchen cabinets, and nurse call systems for safety; in the rooms people can get Wi-Fi, cable TV, and some places have refrigerators too. People get three meals a day served restaurant-style in a communal dining room, and there's always a dietician who can help with special meal plans, covering things like no-salt diets or soft or pureed food when needed. Around the place, you'll find a kitchen, coffee shop, library and computer room, along with arts and crafts, music, games, gardening, and fitness and wellness classes, and if anyone wants to look good, there's a salon and a barber shop in the building. Everything from a general store to outdoor gardens and a courtyard is there, and it's nice to have big social areas for visiting without feeling crowded. They do transportation to doctor appointments and shopping, and folks in assisted living get weekly housekeeping and laundry. Some people go in for rehab and physical, occupational, or speech therapy in the onsite gym, and they try to help everyone regain movement pretty quickly, often within the first day or so. The nursing staff deals with wound care, cardiac and respiratory issues, diabetic help, pharmacy, counseling, x-rays, lab tests, and ongoing therapies to keep people as healthy and independent as possible. For folks who practice faith, there are religious services. They have private and semi-private rooms to fit what people need, and the place has an emergency call system to keep residents safer. Pets aren't allowed, which some people might want to know ahead of time, and they accept quite a few payment types like Medicare, Medicaid, and some big insurance plans. Oak Creek Terrace has a 5-star rating from CMS, though reviews online average about a 3.3 out of 19 responses, showing feedback can vary, but they've got a good long track record and a reputation locally for skilled and memory care.
