Tamarack Assisted Living Center in Altus provides assisted-living care with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Licensed staff members are on site around the clock to monitor residents’ health status, manage medications, and coordinate with outside physicians. Assistance with activities of daily living—such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and toileting—is delivered according to each resident’s individualized care plan. Scheduled wellness checks and an on-call nurse help the team respond promptly to changes in condition.
Beyond direct medical support, the community offers services designed to maintain overall well-being. Rehabilitation therapy can be arranged through outside providers who visit the building, and transportation is available for routine medical appointments. An emergency call system links each residence to staff at any hour, and regular exercise and education programs are organized to encourage mobility and disease management. Housekeeping, laundry, and basic maintenance are included to reduce day-to-day burdens on residents.
Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom layouts, offered in both private and companion configurations. Each unit includes a step-in shower with grab bars, emergency pull cords, individual climate controls, and basic cable hook-ups. Select apartments add kitchenettes or additional storage space, but not all accommodations have all the features. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are standard, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs.
Meals are served in a communal dining room three times a day, with menus planned by dietary staff to meet general nutrition guidelines and common physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic. Residents may request menu alternatives or lighter fare, and snacks are available between meals. Dining room staff monitor intake for residents who require assistance and relay any concerns to the nursing team.
