Dorset Place Memory Care sits in Oklahoma City, offering a secure spot for seniors who need memory care or assisted living with extra support for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. The place uses a 24-hour call system and has round-the-clock supervision, so staff are always nearby and ready to help, whether it's for medication, incontinence, diabetes management, mobility help, or safety concerns. The vintage gardens memory care program and the staff, who get specific dementia-informed training, focus on each person's unique needs, believing routine, engagement, and comfort help folks have better days.
Residents can choose studio, single, or two-bedroom suites, some with kitchenettes. Rooms stay clean and odor-free, with regular weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance. There's a nurse present day and night, a doctor on call, and care plans change as a resident's needs change. Dorset Place accepts those who may wander or act out, using secure entry, alert bracelets, and staff reminders to keep everyone safe. Bathrooms are wheelchair accessible, with full tubs and showers.
Meal times happen in a calm dining room with staff helping those who need gentle reminders or hands-on support. Meals fit special diets, like low salt or low sugar, and you'll get breakfast, lunch, and dinner picked by a dietitian. Residents enjoy social times, arts, crafts, music, pet therapy, brain fitness, group exercise, guided walking, and reminiscing sessions. The facility has indoor common rooms, a fireside lounge with a piano, activity spaces, and quiet lounges for families. There are secured outdoor courtyards, gardens, and comfortable places to sit.
Dorset Place takes both men and women, with a preference for one group at a time, allows cats and dogs, and won't allow smoking inside. There's a full-time activities director, beauty and barber shop, salon, guest parking, and Wi-Fi. The schedule offers physical, social, spiritual, and health programs, with devotional services both onsite and offsite. The goal is to help residents find purpose and joy, even while working through memory loss.
Transportation's available for local trips, and there's space for guests to park. The average cost is around $3,990 for a semi-private room, and $5,805 for a studio. Respite and hospice care are available. Residents receive personalized care, with support for daily living like bathing or dressing, plus reminders to use the restroom. Staff provide comfort and reassurance with gentle routines and redirection to ease stress or confusion. The way everything gets set up - from the layout to the activities and the kindness of the staff - really tries to make Dorset Place a steady, safe place for those facing memory challenges, and it allows people to age in place as their needs change.
