Green Oaks Inn is a superb assisted living community in Florence, Alabama. It is within alluring Lauderdale County which is part of the Yellowhammer State.
Green Oaks Inn has been a pioneer in the assisted living industry in the state of Alabama since its establishment in 1984 and continues to serve as a model for others who offer this type of housing for the elderly. We are a Memory Care Assisted Living Facility that specializes in the unique needs of senior adults with Alzheimer’s and/or other dementia-related disorders.
We are located in a beautiful, quiet, rural setting and we provide care in our two adjacent communities that are each home to 16 residents. When considering the special needs of a loved one, it is important to seek an Assisted Living Facility that maintains full compliance with the standards established by the Alabama Department of Public Health. We are the only Specialty Care Assisted Living Facility in Lauderdale County that is licensed by the Alabama Department of Public Health and we have maintained compliance with their regulations since our inception.
We consistently strive to provide a nurturing environment that feels safe and familiar, empowering and fulfilling to our residents. We support independence through a lifestyle designed specifically for our residents’ unique abilities, needs, and requests. Most of all, we encourage our residents to connect with the people that love them – their families and their extended family here at Green Oaks.
At Green Oaks Inn, Memory Care is what we specialize in. We provide a home for the elderly where their daily needs are met, where they are treated with dignity and respect, where independence in simple tasks is encouraged, and where they are encouraged to stay engaged and connected to their families and the world around them.
