Oaks at Beaufort is a senior living community for people aged 55 and older, settled along the banks of Battery Creek under fifteen large live oak trees, and it's got views of classic southern nature with gardens full of vegetables and fruit, so residents can spend time outside on patios or stroll through landscaped grounds. This place has been running for more than twenty years, and you'll find the staff know residents well and provide care that fits each person. They offer assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other memory loss, respite care for short stays, and even hospice services, so folks can get help as needs change over time. Nurses are around 12 to 16 hours each day, and there's always a 24-hour call system in case someone needs help at night or during emergencies, plus on-call nursing and nearby doctors like Dr. Mary St. John. There are various health services on-site, with skilled nursing, medication help, therapies like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, mental health care, diabetic care, and hospice. The building's single story, making it easy to get around, with wide hallways and a secured memory care area, so it's comfortable and safe as people move about the common areas or their own apartments.
