The Oak Trace Advantage: A Continuing Care Retirement Community

As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), Oak Trace offers security and peace of mind. Imagine waking up each day knowing you’re in a community designed to support your future. Picture yourself enjoying a leisurely walk along scenic paths, sharing laughter with friends over lunch, or participating in engaging activities that inspire your creativity and spirit. Here, you'll have priority access to higher levels of care should your needs change, all within the community you've come to call home.

How to Choose the Right Level of Care

Selecting the appropriate level of care is a personal decision. Consider these factors:

Reflect on your daily routine. Do you value complete independence, or would you appreciate some assistance? Our options range from fully independent living to more supportive environments.

Consider your ability to manage daily tasks. Can you handle most activities with little to no help, or do you need assistance more frequently? If you're capable of living with minimal support, independent living might be ideal. However, if daily tasks are becoming challenging, assisted living can provide the extra help you need to make each day more enjoyable.

We understand that from time to time your needs may change. Our in-house team can provide Personal Services for as little as 15 minutes a day up to 24 hours a day. This could mean having someone to help manage your calendar, accompany you to meals, or assist with light housekeeping. Whatever your needs, our team can help. 

Think about the activities and amenities that enhance your quality of life. Do you enjoy social interactions, physical activities, or hobbies like gardening or reading? Oak Trace offers a wide range of amenities and activities designed to support your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our community is committed to enriching your life with opportunities to engage in the pursuits you love.

When selecting a senior living option, thinking about your future needs is essential. Based on your current health and family history, how likely are you to need more involved care in the coming years? Choosing a Continuing Care Retirement Community like Oak Trace provides the flexibility to adjust your level of care as your health needs evolve, all within the same familiar community.

Understanding the financial considerations of senior living is crucial. Oak Trace offers transparent pricing and various financial options to suit your needs. Our team is happy to discuss the costs associated with each level of care, helping you make an informed decision that aligns with your budget and long-term financial plans.
