Overview of The Oaks Care Center

A beauty salon, a sunroom, and porches give residents at The Oaks Care Center somewhere to be that is not a bedroom. Porches in particular do work that no indoor lounge does, since a visit outside feels less like a visit to a facility.

Palliative care is often confused with hospice, and the two are not the same. Comfort and symptom support can run for a resident with a serious illness who is still in treatment, which is what palliative care covers.

Hospice takes over when treatment stops. Both are available in Pineville.

A nurse is on duty here at three in the afternoon and three in the morning alike. Nursing time holds at 3 hours and 15 minutes per resident each day across 136 beds. Rehabilitation services support the recovery side of the work.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the payment routes. Medicaid usually becomes the question at the point where a family’s savings stop covering the monthly cost, which arrives sooner than most people plan for. Plantation Management Company operates the center.
