Overview of The Oaks of Clearwater The Oaks of Clearwater offers nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Clearwater, FL. Nursing home and skilled nursing care include licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment.
Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. The combination of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving from one level to another can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially.
The community has 175 beds and offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences; a two bedroom can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 27 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nurse time for each resident.
Payment options include insurance and/or HMO, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid is relevant when savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits apply to an eligible veteran or surviving spouse.
Rehabilitation services are available through the skilled nursing and Rehabilitation Center, allowing a resident who needs rehabilitation to receive that service through the community. Pets are allowed, so a resident can live with a pet.
Brooke Lootens serves as administrator, and The Oaks On The Bay operates the community. The area has a Walk Score of 64, described as somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still get out independently.
