Each CRCF license covers twelve months, and this term started May 1, 2026. DPH bills the operator $10 for every licensed bed (never less than $75), so the bed figure above doubles as the building's paid-for capacity.
Sorted by license number, CRC-2347 falls at position 56 of 64 senior CRCFs in our six counties. Lower numbers generally mean an older license line, though not necessarily an older building.
What happens at Oakleaf Village of Lexington if a resident's memory declines?
Only partly: DPH's record shows Alzheimer's care at Oakleaf Village of Lexington but no secured special care unit, so a resident who starts trying to leave would most likely have to move to a building with one.
Plenty of residents with early memory loss do well in an open building; the turning point is usually leaving the building unnoticed or behavior staff cannot redirect. The closest senior CRCFs flagged for a secured unit are Wellmore of Lexington (0.9 mi), Lexington Memory Care (3.1 mi), Lakeside Place Senior Living (3.1 mi).
Does Oakleaf Village of Lexington have any state penalties on record?
No. None of the DPH Healthcare Quality enforcement reports for January 2025 to September 2026 names Oakleaf Village of Lexington.
Keep that in proportion. Penalty orders are the exception; most problems DPH finds on a visit are closed out with a plan of correction that never appears in the monthly report.
Are inspection results for Oakleaf Village of Lexington public?
They are public, though not online. Under Regulation 60-84 Section 202.E, DPH releases inspection and complaint investigation reports for a CRCF such as Oakleaf Village of Lexington, with the correction plan and with names redacted, on written request.
DPH has no fixed inspection schedule for CRCFs, so ask when the last visit happened, what was cited, and to see the plan of correction the administrator signed.

What does Oakleaf Village of Lexington's record suggest asking on a tour?
Begin with what the state's own record suggests: ask the date of the last DPH visit and whether you can read the report and the facility's response.
- Ask for a sample week of staff schedules: the legal floor for 100 residents is 13 staff at peak and 4 at night.
- Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's savings are gone, and whether OSS residents are accepted.
- Read the admission agreement's fee schedule, refund terms and 30-day notice clause before you sign.
- The licensee's home state is OH; ask who runs the building locally and who answers above the administrator.
