Overview of Oak Park Nursing & Rehab Center
Oak Park Nursing & Rehab Center offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Madison, WI. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private apartment, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. The range of care levels supports residents whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level may not require leaving the community or starting over socially. The community has 100 beds, with total nurse staffing of 4 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day, meaning each resident is assigned that amount of daily hands-on nursing time.
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. Rehabilitation services, including short-term rehabilitation, support recovery-focused care for a resident who needs a temporary stay, while a pool, salon, spa, fitness classes, musical performances, and the Memory Keepers wellness program offer specific on-site options for exercise, grooming, recreation, and memory-focused activities. Pets are allowed, so a resident may keep a pet with them, and Becky Balousek serves as the administrator.
