Azalea Gardens in Muskogee focuses exclusively on memory care, offering support for residents living with moderate dementia as well as those who require diabetes management. The community also makes rooms available for respite or short-term stays, giving families a temporary option when they need it.
Around-the-clock oversight includes an awake night staff. On-site services cover medication management, hospice coordination, occupational and physical therapy, podiatry, ambulatory and incontinence care, and programming designed specifically to accommodate memory loss. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can help residents transfer using a walker, wheelchair, or stand-by supervision.
Apartments are available in several layouts, and the community notes that features vary by unit. Some residences include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and individual climate control; others offer only a subset of these items. Common areas include outdoor seating and a central fireplace, and pets are accepted in designated accommodations.
Meals are prepared on site and are served throughout the day, giving residents the option of flexible dining times. Menu planning allows for international dishes as well as low- or no-sodium selections, and all residents have access to three daily meals with snacks as needed.
Residents can visit the barber and beauty shop, take part in arts and crafts, or relax in the fireside living room and game room. Walking paths and communal gardens provide additional spaces for recreation, and every apartment is equipped with an emergency response system. Internet access is available in common areas and private rooms. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
