The Oaks at Flower Mound sits at 3281 Long Prairie Road in Flower Mound, Texas, and you'll find it's built to help older adults stay in one place as their needs change because the place will let folks move from independent living, assisted living, and memory care all in the same community. You'll see it's a two-story building with a gated entrance and a lobby with a bright chandelier, comfortable chairs, and a fireplace, so folks can really feel at home when they come in, and you notice there are indoor and outdoor common areas where people gather for activities or just to enjoy the day, and they sure do have spaces for stretching, yoga, crafts, and brain fitness programs, which keep everyone moving and thinking.
The community focuses on assisted living with floor plans like the Studio (Verbena), One Bedroom (Lantana and Yellowstar), and Two Bedroom (Indigo), and every room will have the 24-hour emergency call system, which helps people feel safer if they need help. The staff gives personal care ranging from light to heavy help, including reminders to use the restroom, grooming, and helping with getting around, even if someone needs two people or mechanical lifts, and they can handle folks who need more medical help with chronic disease, diabetes, including blood sugar checks and insulin injections, and even manage bowel and bladder incontinence.
They have nurses, registered nurses, and medication care staff onsite-including a medical director who's either an MD or a nurse practitioner-to handle regular care, and the place is licensed and regularly checked. They bring in seeing professionals too-the podiatrist, dentist, optometrist, and therapists come in as needed. Folks who live here can keep their dogs and cats, and staff will help with pet care, which is pretty comforting for many people, and there's plenty of green space because the property is close to public parks, with restaurants and coffee shops nearby and hospitals less than five minutes away, in case something comes up.
For meals, they offer restaurant-style dining with a professional chef, all-day dining choices, a private dining room for guests, and even a free coffee, tea, and juice bar, so people can eat well and on their own time, and if family or visitors want to join, they can add a guest meal. People also get weekly housekeeping and linens, utilities included except for phone, free Wi-Fi in common spots, and parking for residents. Safety's a focus, with bracelet alarms, secured doors, and other technology to help prevent wandering, and the staff knows how to help those who might get confused, act out, or try to leave. The memory care area is made to help folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, and the Masterful Moments™ program promotes cognitive health and engagement.
The activities director, who's there full time, runs scheduled programs like art, lifelong learning, stretching and exercise classes, and they get the residents involved in community service or intergenerational programs too, which helps everyone keep busy and social, and there are devotionals and spiritual services regular-like for those who want it. There's scheduled and flexible transportation for shopping, outings, and medical appointments, and they can help folks who need short-term respite care or hospice care at the end of life. The Oaks at Flower Mound isn't perfect but gives a safe, clean, well-staffed place where seniors can get the support they need, stay as independent as possible, keep their pets, and be involved in a caring community.
