Rising Oaks Assisted Living
Rising Oaks Assisted Living
Rising Oaks Assisted Living accepts Insurance and/or HMO and Medicaid.
Rising Oaks Assisted Living is a 52-bed, non-profit assisted living and memory care facility. The property provides 24/7 staffing, help with daily tasks, medication assistance, housekeeping, and laundry services. Residents are provided with daily meals and snacks, along with managed transportation coordination to support their everyday schedule.
Evaluation documents spanning eight years and 12 separate inspections show a total of zero deficiencies. The community maintains a perfect record, securing a zero citations-per-inspection rate across its entire history. Every single visit from the state since the initial opening in 2017, including multiple reviews in 2024 and the most recent evaluation in January 2025, came back completely clear. Consequently, the provider has faced zero fines and no administrative enforcement actions of any kind.
Prospective representatives can see from these multi-year records that the facility has a remarkably consistent approach to state compliance standards. Because the community has completely avoided the typical citations that many care homes run into, the data points to a very stable and well-monitored environment. It is still a good idea to schedule a walkthrough of the building to meet the care team, observe the daily routine, and discuss how they tailor their memory support programs for new residents.
