Via Christi Village Ponca City offers three levels of care—Independent Living for residents who want the freedom of a maintenance-free lifestyle, Assisted Living for those who need help with daily routines, and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Transitions between these care types can be made within the same community, which allows residents to remain in familiar surroundings even as needs change.
Medical oversight is extensive. Licensed nurses are on site and work with an attending doctor, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, a podiatrist, and a dentist. The staff can manage medications, provide incontinence and ambulatory assistance, and develop personalized care plans. Respite stays are available for short-term recovery, and hospice services are offered when appropriate. The community is secured, features an emergency call system in every residence, and supports diabetes management to help reduce hospital readmissions.
Apartments and cottages come in several floor plans. Features such as wall-to-wall carpet, washer/dryer connections, patios, balconies, high-speed internet, and cable TV are available in many units, though not every accommodation includes every option. All residences are air-conditioned and designed to be handicap accessible. Outdoor areas include landscaped grounds, gardens, and decks, and parking is provided for residents who still drive.
Daily housekeeping and utility coverage are standard, and residents can bring cats if they choose. A piano and other communal instruments are available for those who enjoy playing or listening to music.
Meals are prepared on site, with all-day dining that accommodates kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences. Guests are welcome for meals, and healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day. Seasonal BBQs and picnics are scheduled when weather permits, giving residents a change of scenery without leaving campus.
Residents have access to an activity center, library with computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, a swimming pool, arts and crafts studio, movie theater room, and dedicated card and game space. Clubs, social outings, wine tastings, happy hours, and performances by resident musicians provide additional opportunities for engagement and connection.
