Countryside Memory Care of Muskogee sits just a few minutes from the Muskogee Turnpike on a quiet property with a lake view and greenery, where you'll find a stand-alone memory care facility built to help seniors living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. The staff over there, folks say, tend to go out of their way, treating residents more like family than just people they look after, and there's always someone available since staff and a part-time nurse are on-site 24 hours a day. The building's secure and purpose-built for memory care, using things like alarm bracelets so residents who wander don't slip out, and they're able to work with folks who have more challenging behaviors, including aggression or wandering, so people can stay even as their needs change.
Apartments have safety features, cozy spaces, and calming décor, along with kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable, and seating areas where people can rest or visit. Pets like dogs and cats are allowed. There's a fireside living room, garden, secure courtyard with seating, and a view of the water - all easy places for a bit of peace or friendly company. Meals cover all kinds of diet needs, from low salt to international cuisine, served in a dining area with flowers on the tables, and there's room service if someone just wants to eat in their own place. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication reminders, and staff can use lifts or cueing for folks who need extra hands, including for incontinence and transferring.
Countryside offers diabetic care, including blood sugar tests and insulin shots, with physicians and hospice care available as needed. Memory care services match each resident's needs and the staff keeps track of everyone's safety with regular check-ins and technology. People who stay here can enjoy a pretty wide spread of activities, from brain fitness to stretching and cooking classes, trivia, outings, gardening, music, and crafts, and there's a fitness center, salon, and beauty services too. Laundry, linens, housekeeping, transportation, and shopping trips are all part of life here, and people can join devotional services and intergenerational programs with children from the community.
