Overview of England Oaks Active Adult Living

Facebook

Serving older adults in the Rapides Parish neighborhood of Alexandria, Louisiana, England Oaks Active Adult Living is an independent living community about 5 miles from downtown. The community has been operating for 29 years and is led by Executive Director Joel Ferrier. It is designed for older adults who want a self-directed lifestyle without the upkeep of owning a house.

Residents live in private apartments and manage their own personal and medical needs because England Oaks does not provide hands-on care services. Instead, the community handles property maintenance and yard work, so residents do not have to take care of those responsibilities themselves. It’s best suited for older adults who are largely independent but no longer want to do chores at home.

Daily life centers on shared meals, card games, and everyday opportunities to socialize with neighbors. The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 13, which is car-dependent. Most errands and outings require driving. Families touring England Oaks Active Adult Living should ask about a typical daily schedule and apartment layouts to get a better sense of everyday life in the community.
