Levels of Care Offered?

At OALA, we are licensed to provide Level 3 standard care. The care level for each resident is selected using the Resident Assessment Tool, which gathers essential information about their physical, functional, and psychological strengths and needs. Based on this assessment, residents are assigned to one of the 3 Levels. We tailor our approach to each resident’s individual needs to ensure they are charged consistently with the services provided.
