Sherwood Oaks provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing care in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and similar tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision. Skilled nursing care is available from licensed nurses on site at all hours.
Several care levels are available in one community. That can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. Sherwood Oaks has 77 beds, with 6 hours and 26 minutes of total nurse staffing per resident each day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident.
Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly. Families will need to consider which option matches the resident’s care needs and financial situation.
A pool and fitness center support exercise, while the art studio and woodworking shop provide dedicated spaces for creative activities. Gardens and lakes add outdoor places to spend time. Free bus or car transportation is available around campus and to area shopping, medical services, and religious services.
Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy as part of their care. Pittsburgh Lifetime Care Community operates Sherwood Oaks, and UPMC Senior Communities is the owner. The community also offers a Continuing Care program.
