Brookdale Tahlequah Heritage is an assisted-living community with a clinical program that centers on daily oversight and timely interventions. Residents have access to visiting or on-site physicians, diabetes management, regularly scheduled physical therapy, and short-term respite stays for recovery or caregiver relief. The staff is trained to support moderate dementia, offering structured cues and close monitoring when cognition changes.

Care is delivered around the clock by an awake night-shift team and licensed nurses who manage medications, wound care, hospice coordination, and incontinence programs. Occupational and physical therapists, as well as a podiatrist, hold regular sessions on campus, and the community maintains an enclosed courtyard for safer outdoor time for residents with memory loss. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can accommodate transfers that require a walker, wheelchair, or standby support.

Accommodations range from ground-floor studios to efficiency apartments, many with private baths, wheelchair-accessible showers, central air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Some units add features such as in-room washers and dryers, flat-screen televisions, or direct garden access, while others may not include every option listed. Housekeeping, surface parking, and several indoor and outdoor common areas—including landscaped walking paths, a fireside living room, and greenhouse space—support daily life.

Dining follows a restaurant-style format with all-day service. Standard menus are supplemented with kosher, vegetarian, low-sodium, and gluten-free selections, and trays can be delivered to apartments when a resident prefers to eat privately. Guest meals are available so family members can join loved ones during visits.

Residents can make use of on-site parking, internet access, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, library, arts and crafts studio, fireside lounge, and paved walking paths. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
