Overview of The Oaks

The Oaks is a memory care community in Gilbert, Arizona, that is specifically designed to meet the needs of residents living with dementia and other cognitive changes. While the facility provides around-the-clock caregiver coverage, medication management, housekeeping, and transportation, it is important to note that their official business hours are limited to weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

One significant factor to consider is the staffing model, as the facility provides about 3 hours and 30 minutes of nursing care per resident each day. This is roughly 14% below the state average, placing them 239th out of 252 memory care homes in Arizona, and coverage drops even further to just under 3 hours on weekends. Because memory care residents often need frequent monitoring, families may want to look closely at these numbers. On a more positive note, the facility has a strong regulatory track record with no federal penalties in the last three years, and their health inspection scores are 44.4% better than the state average.

The community primarily serves private-pay residents, who make up 69% of admissions, alongside smaller groups of Medicare and Medicaid recipients. With an occupancy rate of 73.2%—which is right in line with the state average—residents typically stay for about 218 days and enjoy amenities like laundry facilities and a secured outdoor patio.

Ultimately, The Oaks is a great fit for families who can pay privately and value a clean regulatory history, as long as the current staffing levels meet their specific care requirements.
