Overview of Harmony at Oakbrooke

Harmony at Oakbrooke offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Chesapeake’s Greenbrier West neighborhood. Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The 125-bed community has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. A studio keeps living space in one private room, while a two-bedroom layout can work well for a couple moving together; one-bedroom apartments provide another option. Respite care allows a family caregiver to arrange a short stay while traveling or recovering. Pets are allowed, and Jennifer Stell serves as the administrator.

Residents can choose restaurant-style dining, watch a movie in the theater, or spend time in the bistro, library, and game room. Grounds with walking paths offer an outdoor place to spend time. Physical and occupational therapy are available, and transportation to health appointments lets residents attend those visits without arranging their own ride. Staff are present around the clock.

A Walk Score of 34 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. The range of apartment sizes, respite care, and three care levels may suit a resident who wants options as daily support needs change, as well as a couple considering a shared move.
