Overview of The Waters of Oakdale

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest

The Waters of Oakdale sits just a short walk from Oakdale’s city center in Washington County, Minnesota. It’s a 100‑bed community that brings together three levels of care under one roof: independent living, assisted living, and memory care, with a state dementia‑care designation from the Minnesota Department of Health. Apartments come in studio, one‑bedroom, and two‑bedroom layouts, each equipped with its own washer and dryer.

The starting rate is $3,250 per month, and current occupancy hovers around 51%, meaning roughly half the building is open; good news for families looking for immediate placement. The neighborhood earns a Walk Score of 59, so some errands are doable on foot, while others call for a quick drive.

Care here is comprehensive without feeling clinical. Nursing services and 24‑hour staffing are standard, and residents can schedule occupational or physical therapy right on site; no need to leave the building for rehab appointments. There’s also respite care for short‑term stays and organized transportation for community outings.

Shared spaces include a therapy gym, art studio, library, chapel, pub, café, garden patio, and a large activity room that keeps the atmosphere lively. Daily programs range from gardening and games to happy hour. Religious services are available, and pets are welcome. Meals are cooked from scratch each day by an on‑site chef and served in the community’s dining room on a set schedule; three sittings daily: breakfast, midday, and evening.

State inspections have focused mainly on medication management, fire safety, emergency preparedness, and staff qualifications, rather than direct care concerns.

At $3,250 per month, The Waters of Oakdale offers a strong mix of services for a state‑approved dementia‑care community: on‑site therapy, chef‑prepared meals, and in‑unit laundry, all within walking distance of Oakdale’s city center. For families weighing assisted‑living options in the eastern Twin Cities suburbs, it’s a well‑rounded choice that balances practicality with comfort.
