Overview of The Oaks at Waterman Village Retirement Community

The Oaks at Waterman Village Retirement Community in Mt Dora, Florida, offers assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, nursing care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Assisted living supports daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while home care brings assistance to the place where a resident lives. Nursing care provides nursing support, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Respite care is a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having several care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, because the resident may be able to move to another level without leaving the community. The community has 100 beds, and Medicaid is accepted, giving families whose savings may not cover a long stay a payment option. Ingrid Piedrahita serves as the administrator, and Waterman Communities operates the community.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. The area has a Walk Score of 46 and is dependent on cars, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for errands.
