Dow Residential Care Facility sits in a quiet Hartshorne, Oklahoma neighborhood and offers seniors a peaceful place to live with several care options. The building holds 24 licensed beds and serves as a Board and Care Home, so there's help at all hours for those needing assisted living and specialized memory care for dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Residents have a choice of well-equipped studio units, shared quarters, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all with private or semi-private bathrooms, non-slip flooring, and grab bars in place to prevent falls. Every apartment comes fully furnished, with kitchenettes, cable television, internet access, air conditioning, and a 24-hour emergency response system that uses keypad entry for added safety.
The staff handles a wide range of personal care such as help with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, medication management and administration, spoon feeding for those who need it, incontinence help, and reminders for daily living activities. Anyone who needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy can get those services right on site, as well as counseling and regular monthly wellness checkups by a doctor. Massage therapy, arts and crafts, fall prevention classes, physical therapy, and community-sponsored events keep everyone engaged and active, and there's a dedicated arts room, a fitness center, and walking paths through well-kept gardens for fresh air or exercise.
Meals include three daily servings and snacks, made in-house with menus that accommodate diabetes, allergies, and other dietary restrictions, and the dining area stays well-lit for safety, with help available during meals as needed. For those wanting to relax or look their best, there's an on-site barber, a beauty shop, a wellness spa, and grooming services. Residents and families can expect cleaning, dry cleaning, laundry, and even move-in coordination for a smoother transition. With expanded visiting hours and a family-friendly environment, Dow Residential Care tries to make everyone feel comfortable, though it doesn't allow pets.
For convenience, the facility has scheduled transportation, parking, and quick access to medical offices, pharmacies, and parks. The community includes amenities like a game room, library, garden, computer section, studio for arts and crafts, a communal kitchen, and large TV lounges. Wheelchair access is available throughout, and staff provides 24-hour supervision and security. Emergency call systems are in every apartment, and the grounds are kept tidy for safe strolls or outdoor gatherings. Special dining and birthday party options are available for celebrations. Residents can enjoy cable, telephone service, and a sense of maintenance-free living since staff takes care of housekeeping, cooking, and repairs. Many residents stay long-term and any care provided here doesn't typically accept Medicare unless the facility gets specific certification, as Dow Residential Care is surveyed and licensed locally. The environment allows seniors to choose support levels, so those with increased needs don't have to move unless medically required, and all these details add up to a calm community with careful attention to safety and comfort for older adults.
