Tealridge Retirement Community

Tealridge Retirement Community sits in Edmond, Oklahoma, and has a range of living options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, personal care, and respite care, so folks can find the support they want or need as things change, and there are floor plans you can pick from, like studio Dover, studio Greystone, one-bedroom Berkley, Edinburg, Richmond, two-bedroom Windsor, Covington, Edinburgh I and II, and two-bedroom Warwick, so there's room for different needs and everyone gets their own space with a full kitchen, big closets, and local ownership gives the place a home-town feel. Residents can use an emergency pendant alert system, 24-hour staffed support, and safety features like thermostats they control themselves, sprinkler systems, and smoke detectors, which help set folks' minds at ease. Community maintenance and weekly housekeeping, including regular linen and towel laundry, keep things tidy, and you get regular group rides for errands like grocery and drug store trips, so people don't have to worry as much about driving. People eat up to three meals a day in a nice dining room with a nutrition-minded menu, and all monthly rent covers utilities like water, electric, and basic cable, so it's pretty easy to keep the bills simple. Tealridge Independent Living offers social things like group games, volunteering with charities, movie nights, restaurant outings, and there are wellness programs covering things like social and physical activities, with a health center, so folks have chances to stay busy or just relax. The staff provides reminders for meals and appointments, plus help with activities of daily living if you need more support, like medication reminders, bathing and dressing, and even escorts to meals when needed, and the memory care unit is designed for Alzheimer's and dementia, with spaces to reduce confusion and help keep folks safe. The community has photo and video galleries, runs tours to show daily routines, and uses group calendars so people can plan ahead and join in. Tealridge sits by natural lakes and parks, near Oklahoma Christian University, which gives nice scenery and some ways to feel part of town life, and the facility's got awards recognizing its staff and activities. The goal seems to be independence, dignity, and keeping up connections, with apartment choices and care plans that let folks keep as much control as possible over how they live, with staff on hand when needed and privacy respected, and that's about what you'd expect in a community aiming to help older adults feel supported, social, and safe.
