Overview of Oaks at Pooler

Oaks at Pooler offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Pooler, GA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident lives in an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and the range of care may suit a resident whose needs change over time.

The community has 110 beds and offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments; a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving into the community. Sophia Byrd serves as the administrator.

Scheduled local transportation is available for medical appointments, errands, and community outings, giving residents organized rides for those trips. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehabilitation are available for temporary recovery needs, while the hairdresser and salon provide personal-care services within the community. All-day dining allows residents to eat meals at their convenience, and the enclosed courtyard with a covered area provides an outdoor space within the community.

A Walk Score of 53 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle occasional nearby errands independently.
