Advanced Care in a Real Home. Not a Facility.
Sage Oak was built on a simple philosophy: with the proper staffing levels, residents with higher care needs can be served beautifully in a real home. That’s why our campus is five separate residential homes, not one long corridor of rooms.
- Staffed for advanced careOur 1:5 to 1:8 caregiver-to-resident ratio means caregivers know every resident’s needs, routines, and preferences, and have the time to act on them.
- An in-home chef, every homeOne chef cooks for one home of 16 residents in an open kitchen. Meals happen around a table, like they always have.
- Comforts that matterPrivate suites, secure grounds with 24-hour CCTV, on-site salon and barbershop, medication management with free delivery, and pet-friendly living.

Questions Families Ask Us
What is “advanced care” at Sage Oak?
Advanced care is for residents whose needs go beyond typical assisted living: more hands-on assistance, more supervision, more support. Our philosophy is that the right staffing levels make this possible in a real home. With one caregiver for every 5-8 residents around the clock, our team has the time and familiarity to care for higher-acuity needs personally and safely.
How is this different from a nursing home?
Traditional nursing homes are large clinical facilities. Sage Oak delivers care in five boutique homes of 16 private suites each, with consistent caregivers, an in-home chef, and the rhythms of a real household. For many families comparing nursing homes, this is the setting they were hoping existed.
Do you accept Medicaid?
Sage Oak is a private-pay community. Families choose us in part because private pay keeps things simple: transparent monthly rates and no government paperwork. We’re glad to point you to resources like long-term care insurance and VA benefit programs that many families use.
How quickly can my loved one move in?
We currently have private suites available, and our team is experienced at making timely transitions happen, including after a hospital stay. Call us and we’ll walk through the steps together.
