Overview of The Oaks

The Oaks Assisted & Senior Living is a two-story community on South Rome Street in downtown Gilbert, Arizona, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The property sits about a quarter-mile from the Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center, making hospital transfers straightforward if an emergency comes up. If you are coming to visit, note that the neighborhood has a walk score of 22, meaning the immediate area is car-dependent and you will need a vehicle for almost all errands.

Staff members are available for 24-hour on-call personal care, and residents use emergency response pendants for safety. The team handles weekly housekeeping and laundry services, and they run a shuttle bus for scheduled excursions outside the property. On-site spaces include a gym with daily exercise classes, a beauty salon, a library, and an urban backyard patio, alongside an all-inclusive dining room. Memory care residents live in a separate, specialized wing but still have access to the broader campus resources.

State regulatory inspectors drop by the building for routine safety and licensing reviews to make sure care standards are met.

Prospective representatives can contact the leasing desk to check which studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom floor plans are currently open for move-in.
