As we age, our needs can change, sometimes gradually, and sometimes suddenly. Whether you’re exploring future options or need immediate support following a health event, it’s reassuring to know there’s a trusted resource close to home. At Shirkey Health Services, we offer a full spectrum of compassionate, professional care services designed to meet individuals exactly where they are on their journey.
Here’s a brief overview of the care and support we provide:
Assisted Living: Independence with a Helping Hand
For individuals who value their independence but need a little extra support, Oak Ridge Assisted Living offers modern, private apartments paired with peace of mind. Residents enjoy the freedom to come and go while benefiting from services like meal preparation, medication assistance, and daily check-ins. Our caring staff is always nearby, offering help when needed and encouraging self-reliance when possible.
Memory Care: Specialized Support for Cognitive Needs
Located adjacent to our assisted living community, Oak Ridge Memory Care provides a secure, structured environment for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. With just 13 private studio apartments, this specialized neighborhood ensures individualized attention, safety, and daily routines that promote familiarity, comfort, and dignity. Our trained team uses compassion, patience, and evidence-based approaches to support both residents and their families.
Outpatient Therapy: Regain Strength and Confidence
Recovery doesn’t always require a hospital stay. Our Shirkey Premier Therapy team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy on an outpatient basis to help individuals recover from surgery, illness, or injury. With personalized care plans and access to advanced treatment programs, like LSVT BIG & LOUD® for Parkinson’s and VitalStim® for swallowing therapy, we help patients regain mobility, rebuild independence, and improve quality of life.
Hospice Care: Comfort and Support for Life’s Final Chapter
When facing a life-limiting illness, comfort and compassion become top priorities. Shirkey Hospice & Palliative Care offers support that honors the wishes and dignity of each individual, while providing relief from symptoms and emotional support for the entire family. Our team helps individuals live fully and comfortably, focusing on what matters most in the time they have.
Rehab to Home: Short-Term Recovery with Long-Term Benefits
After a hospital stay, the transition back to everyday life can be overwhelming. Our Rehab to Home program is designed to help patients regain strength and confidence through short-term, intensive rehabilitation. Located in a peaceful 12-bed unit, this program offers private rooms, a separate entrance, onsite therapy, and 24/7 skilled nursing support, ensuring a safe and successful return home.
Skilled Nursing Care: Round-the-Clock Clinical Support
For those with complex medical needs, Shirkey Nursing & Rehabilitation Center provides 24/7 skilled care in a setting that feels like home. All rooms are private with private baths, offering both comfort and dignity. Residents benefit from on-site therapy, personalized care plans, and dedicated nursing support, whether they’re staying short-term or long-term.
