Oakwood House

Oakwood House stands in Marshall, Texas, offering a range of care options for seniors who want a welcoming place with help available when needed, and there are about 40 apartments, including studios and single-room units, some of which let pets live with residents. The care team, led by a Licensed Nurse, provides help around the clock for elders needing support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicine, and they've also got specialized care for people with diabetes, memory loss, including Alzheimer's, and mild cognitive problems, plus non-ambulatory and incontinence care too, and if someone just needs a short stay to recover after being sick or having surgery, they can try the respite care program, and there's a hospice waiver to allow continuous care for those at the end of life. The place has a solid State care license and the staff know their jobs-they're trained to give attention that fits each person's needs, and residents can join planned fitness classes, movie nights, music programs, and outings; there's also scheduled activities both run by residents and planned by the full-time Activity Program Director, with rooms for devotionals, a library for quiet reading, walking paths, a garden, and a barber/salon. Meals are served every day with a Texas Style touch from a well-stocked kitchen, and residents eat together, helping everyone feel a part of the community. There's transportation for errands and appointments, and those who want to spend time inside can relax in the indoor common areas, where there's always a mix of group and solo activities to choose from. Oakwood House also makes sure safety is a high priority by keeping a 24-hour call system and making sure someone is always available to help. The apartments aim for comfort, letting folks have privacy, and with staff available for supervision and personal needs, the aim's for safe, dignified living with as much independence as possible, and the program can be adjusted for each person, whatever their needs might be-memory care, assisted living, or short stays for recovery-so folks can stay engaged and comfortable, with a social group around them and staff ready whenever needed.
