Riverside Oxford Memory Care sits at 6621 N Riverside Dr in Fort Worth, TX, right near the corner of Western Center Blvd and N. Riverside Drive, and folks say you can see the care in the way the place feels kind and steady, where residents with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia have their own secure, home-like spot built for their safety and comfort, so you can tell the staff really gets how to keep people at ease, and with nurses and personal care assistants on site all day, every day, help's always around for stuff like bathing, getting dressed, moving around, and managing medicines, even for folks who need extra lifting or transfer options, and every room has motion sensors for extra safety if someone gets up at night, and with a gated, locked community, people don't need to worry about wandering off, especially since every room lives in a purpose-built memory care building.
There's furnished apartments, whether folks want a shared semi-private room, or a studio, and they're all set up with beds, mattresses, sheets, comforters, nightstands and lamps, so nobody has to haul much furniture, and the staff keep everything clean with housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and if someone's got allergies, can't have certain foods, or needs diabetic, kosher, low fat, low salt, renal or vegetarian diets, the kitchen, run by a chef, will handle it and bring three meals a day plus snacks, in a restaurant-style dining room with options for private dining and even room service for those who don't feel like eating out in the crowd.
Residents can get help with their diabetes checks, skin care, nutrition, and see visiting podiatrists, nurses, and physical, occupational, or speech therapists right on site, and they've got extra services for folks dealing with behaviors like wandering or agitation, with 24/7 awake staff and specialized care plans that change as needs change, so plenty of folks get to stay put as they age, even with hospice or in-home health care when things get tougher.
The staff at Riverside Oxford Memory Care pays attention to people's pasts, collecting stories and memories to build care plans that fit who somebody was before Alzheimer's came along, so they know what someone liked, where they grew up, and which activities make them smile, like music and pet therapy, arts and crafts, games, cooking classes, yoga, stretching, sing-alongs, and even horticulture, and the activity director keeps a schedule full of parties, outings, religious events, Bible study, and visiting groups for social time, with communal spaces both inside and outdoors in courtyard and garden areas with a hot tub spa for relaxing.
With Wi-Fi and internet in every unit, folks can keep in touch with family, and services come in English and Spanish, and the place is pet-friendly, so residents can have their cats and dogs if that helps them feel at home, and if a family member just needs respite or a short-term stay, they can arrange that as well, and since it's part of the Koelsch Senior Communities and Oxford Senior Living group, the caregivers have decades of experience, and the building has all the right touches for memory care with high staffing ratios and hands-on support for all daily needs.
Transportation and shopping help are available for an extra fee, so residents can still visit attractions around North Fort Worth, from barbecue spots to the zoo, and with and special religious services, salon care, beautician services, and all sorts of therapy options, there's plenty here to keep folks looking and feeling their best.
