Tealridge Assisted Living & Memory Care sits in a quiet neighborhood in Edmond at 2200 Northeast 140th Street, and the place has a calm feel with nearby parks, cafes, pharmacies, and health facilities, so folks don't have to go far for what they need. The community offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, which means elders with different needs can find their spot, whether they want more freedom or need some extra help. There are private and shared apartments, with options for studios and one-bedrooms, and each one comes with things like carpet, its own bathroom, air conditioning, kitchenette, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and emergency call buttons, and there's the comfort of knowing staff are around to help day and night.
Help is always at hand for daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting to the hairdresser, and folks get medication management and regular check-ins because the Director of Nursing figures out how much care each person needs. For those who enjoy pets, the community allows residents to bring them along too. There's a health center focused on both non-medical and medical support, offering medication help and non-ambulatory care, which is good for folks who need more supervision or physical support. In Memory Care, special attention's given for Alzheimer's and dementia, the doors are kept secure, and programs aim to reduce confusion and make folks feel safe.
Meals come three times a day, cooked by chefs, and there's a dining room, restaurant-style options, and spaces to eat with friends. The kitchen handles special diets for allergies or diabetes. Residents keep busy with daily activities and planned events, like art, music, games, fitness classes, movie nights, and group outings, and there's always something going on whether it's music therapy, pet visits, volunteer work, or devotional services on Sundays. The place has a game room, library, fitness room, arts room, and a movie theater, and there's a barber and salon on-site for grooming. Outdoors, there are walking paths, shared spaces, and programs when the weather's nice.
Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and scheduled rides to doctor's appointments, errands, and churches take some worry away from daily living. The community uses a wellness lifestyle plan to help folks stay as independent as possible. There are regular health classes and talks, and staff's trained to handle diabetes, high blood pressure, and other conditions. Some extra details include personal laundry service, carpeted rooms with individual temperature controls, and a 24-hour call system for emergencies, so peace of mind comes built-in. The staff treats everyone kindly and has a focus on respect and dignity, trying to make life comfortable and full of choices, but it's worth noting that this is a small place, so people tend to get more personal attention than in bigger spots. Tealridge earns a 5.5 score in community ratings and accepts both private pay and Medicaid, so there's flexibility for different families.
