The Oaks at Lakewood

The Oaks at Lakewood is a premier skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located on Bridgeport Way in Lakewood, Washington — one of the South Puget Sound's most accessible and family-friendly communities. Operated by The Ensign Group, a nationally recognized post-acute care company celebrated for its culture of clinical excellence and local leadership autonomy, The Oaks at Lakewood brings the best of both worlds: the resources of a major healthcare organization with the personalized feel of a community-rooted care home. The Ensign Group's model empowers local facility leaders to make decisions that directly benefit their residents and communities, resulting in strong staff retention, engaged clinical teams, and consistently high satisfaction scores. At The Oaks at Lakewood, this philosophy translates into compassionate, attentive care delivered by nurses, therapists, and aides who genuinely know and care for the individuals in their charge. The facility provides a full spectrum of skilled nursing services including short-term rehabilitation following surgery or hospitalization, long-term residential nursing care, specialized memory support programs, respiratory care, and comprehensive wound management. Therapy programs are designed to maximize each resident's functional independence, whether the goal is returning home after a knee replacement or managing a progressive neurological condition with dignity. Lakewood's Bridgeport Way corridor is one of the city's most convenient addresses. Lakewood Towne Center, a vibrant open-air shopping and dining destination, is just minutes away, giving families an easy place to shop or dine before visits. Beautiful Fort Steilacoom Park — a sprawling expanse of trails, open meadows, and the historic Steilacoom Lake — is nearby and beloved by South Sound families for weekend outings. American Lake, a stunning natural lake popular for recreation, lies just west of the facility. For medical emergencies, CHI Franciscan's St. Clare Hospital is the closest major medical center, offering emergency, surgical, and specialty care. The proximity to I-5 also ensures swift access to the broader network of South Puget Sound healthcare facilities. Families visiting from Tacoma, University Place, DuPont, or Olympia will find The Oaks at Lakewood a convenient and welcoming destination.
