  • University Oaks Description

    Alabama’s majestic oaks line the grounds of University Oaks, offering a picturesque setting in the historic city. The Mobile senior living community is just over an hour from Gulf Shores and central to Providence Hospital and The Shoppes at Bel Air. Local highlights include the Mobile Botanical Gardens, Mobile Museum of Art and the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park.

    Residents appreciate the freedom and flexibility our independent living communities offer as needs around personal care and medical assistance change. Choosing a la carte from third-party health care and personal care providers* -- many with offices right inside the community -- gives them the power to choose their providers and obtain similar services as they would in a higher level of care like assisted living, but without giving up the independence, warm community of friends, and fun-loving atmosphere they enjoy so much.
