Independent Living
Independent Living at The Knolls of Oxford is designed for active seniors who want to maintain their independence while enjoying a carefree lifestyle. Our community takes care of everyday burdens like home maintenance, yardwork, and household chores, so residents can focus on doing what they love—staying active, social, and engaged.
Ask yourself these questions to help determine if it is time for yourself or a loved one to move into an independent living community:
- Is it difficult for me to maintain my current home?
- Is it difficult for me to find opportunities to socialize?
- Am I concerned about my health and/or the health of my spouse?
Assisted Living
Assisted Living offers personalized care that supports independence. Residents receive help with daily needs while enjoying private apartments, chef-prepared meals, and engaging activities in a warm, welcoming community.
Ask yourself these questions to see if it may be time to consider an assisted living community for yourself or a loved one:
Do you rely on family or friends for daily tasks such as hygiene, meals, or medication reminders?
Have there been more frequent accidents or falls?
Is it becoming difficult to move safely throughout the home?
Do you sometimes forget to turn off appliances like the stove or oven?
Skilled Nursing
Skilled Nursing at The Knolls of Oxford offers short-term rehabilitation and long-term care with 24-hour medical support. Our community serves seniors recovering from illness, injury, or surgery, as well as those with chronic or progressive conditions who need around-the-clock care.
Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to know if it’s time for your loved one to explore the possibility of skilled nursing:
- Is your loved one recovering from an injury, stroke, or surgery?
- Does your loved one need access to 24-hour skilled care?
- Is your loved one falling or having accidents frequently?
- Does your loved one have an increased difficulty feeding themselves or maintaining their dental health?
- Is your loved one bed-bound or unable to walk on their own?
