Oak Ridge Assisted Living
Memory care and assisted living are what Oak Ridge Assisted Living offers in Richmond, MO. Bathing, dressing, and medication are the tasks assisted living picks up on the resident’s behalf. Round-the-clock staffing is named too, which means somebody asking for help at an odd hour is asking a person already on duty.
A Dedicated Alzheimer’s Unit is named among the services, and that designation is the secured, supervised version of memory care. It exists because dementia can turn wandering into a risk, and a risk is what the setting addresses.
Fifty beds carry both of those levels, and the room types are studio and one-bedroom. A studio keeps everything in one space, while a one-bedroom pulls the sleeping area away from the rest.
Medicaid is the only payer accepted here, and it counts for a household whose own money runs out before the stay does. The area comes out somewhat walkable at a 64 Walk Score, so somebody without a car keeps many destinations within reach on foot.
Samantha Ralston runs the administration, and Senior Citizens Nursing Home District of Ray Co. is the operator behind it. A person whose daily needs run to personal care, or whose wandering has made a secure setting necessary, is who these two levels were put together for.
