Live Here Oakcrossing Long-Term Care Home

Located in London, ON, peopleCare Oakcrossing Long-Term Care Home has become an integral part of the London Community since it opened in 2010.

The 160-bed Home offers private and basic accommodations with each room tastefully decorated and furnished. Residents are encouraged to decorate their rooms with personal items and favourite pieces of furniture when they can be accommodated.

Oakcrossing is made up of five home areas, all named after trees: Juniper, Red Oak, Sugar Maple, White Pine and Norway Spruce. It includes one secure Home area specifically designed for residents with varying degrees of dementia. Each home area offers two spacious lounges and one intimate family quiet lounge. A private family dining room and family stay over room is also available.

Daily activities provide enhanced programming for all residents in both small and large group settings. Many activities will occur in our own “town square” where recreation and a sense of community offers something for everyone.
