Oakwood Village is an assisted living community in Auburn, California. Completed in 1991, this 121-bed residence features healing gardens, a concept that emerged in the early 1990s. Credible scientific evidence indicates that exposure to nature lowers anxiety, makes us less conscious of pain, and speeds recovery from illness and surgery. Thus, healing gardens are designed to provide a multi-sensory experience with nature.
The healing gardens at Oakwood Village offer space for outdoor dining and casual conversation. The ample lawn provides space for young visitors to play. A flower and vegetable garden creates opportunities for residents to have direct interaction with nature, which has been shown to be especially therapeutic for dementia patients.
