Oak Hill Assisted Living

Oak Hill Assisted Living is an appealing assisted living community in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It is within delightful Itasca County which is part of the North Star State.

Oak Hill’s unique assisted living homes offer a personal, intimate experience that embraces families and friends while providing for independence and privacy. Our person-centered care is tailored specifically to each resident’s individual needs.

Our aim at Oak Hill Assisted Living is to make everyday a good day, offered up by staff who are always ready with tender, loving expertise. 

At Oak Hill Assisted Living, we care like family because we are family. Our person-centered services are based on a strong tradition of care. One that:

• respects and maintains personal dignity
• does for others what they can’t do for themselves
• goes the distance with residents and families
• maintains hope

We embrace each individual and take the time to learn each resident’s story, their family connections, personal and professional background, interests, hobbies and values that together make each person unique. We emphasize the person, not their disability or aging. It is by looking through the eyes of each resident, from their point of view, that cares and activities are provided.

Based on a full assessment of each resident by a registered nurse, one of three care levels is determined. Resident’s monthly bundled fee is determined by their care needs and therefore service level. The nursing assessment considers a variety of resident issues including:

• medical history
• amount and complexity of medications
• ability to participate in activities of daily living such as dressing and mobility
• whether incontinence is present
• fall risk
• special services such as oxygen therapy or catheter care
• dementia or other behavioral concerns present.

All levels of care include:

• 24 / 7 Awake staff
• Daily licensed nurse supervision and assistance
• 3 meals daily plus unlimited snacks and beverages
• Social activities and leisure outings
• Housekeeping
• Laundry / linen service
• Wi-Fi / cable TV / utilities
• Wireless, portable ‘Arial’ call system
• ‘WanderGuard’ safety system monitoring
• Board and lodging costs

Out of a strong tradition of caring, Oak Hill Assisted Living offers residents a personal, intimate experience that embraces families and friends while providing for independence and privacy. Services are tailored specifically to each resident’s individual needs. As those needs change, staff go the distance with them, changing as their needs change. Services are provided from independent living to end of life care. We care for the whole person- body, mind and spirit.

Families are always welcome and active in planning care for their loved one. Individualized care conferences are held regularly with residents and their families providing dedicated time to discuss resident needs, concerns and services. Our on call nurses are available to residents and staff around the clock.

At the heart of Oak Hill is our strong, core staff of licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants and direct care companions who provide unconditional, expert, loving care. Our homes are owned and managed by nurse practitioner, Pamela Friesen, CNP. Staff receive regular and ongoing training related to resident’s needs and state-of-the-art senior care.

Oak Hill Assisted Living enjoys a stable, core staff with low turnover rate. We exceed industry standards with high staff to resident ratios.
