Overview of Grand Oaks

Grand Oaks provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Okeechobee, FL. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident maintains a private living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Grand Oaks has 37 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The community may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller setting and needs assisted living, memory care, or a short-term respite stay.

Room options include semi-private rooms, one-bedroom units, two-bedroom units, studios, and alcove suites. A two-bedroom unit or semi-private room can suit someone moving with a companion, while a studio provides a single private space. Chef-prepared meals are provided, and a Southern-style porch with rocking chairs gives residents an outdoor place to sit.

The area has a somewhat walkable Walk Score of 66, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some nearby errands independently. Medicaid is accepted, which gives families a payment option when personal savings may not cover a long stay. Sabrina Cook serves as the administrator.
