Since the US Census Bureau reports that nearly 17% of people across Oklahoma are over 65, senior living communities are an important component of many families’ lives.
If your loved one is struggling to live independently, a quality care community can help them regain control over their lives. Morada Midwest City is committed to offering the best-assisted living in Oklahoma, so read on to learn how we can help your loved one thrive.
The Benefits of Assisted Living: Senior Care Services
Assisted living communities allow seniors to thrive with personal care services. In these communities, compassionate caregivers help residents with tasks like:
- Standing up and sitting down
- Getting to and from other areas of community grounds
- Meal planning and preparation
- Personal hygiene tasks, including brushing teeth and hair
- Showering and bathing safely
- Using the bathroom and remaining clean
- Housekeeping
- Laundry
- Getting dressed and changing clothes
No two seniors will have the same needs. Caregivers will create personalized care plans for each resident since assisted living isn’t one-size-fits-all.
This means discussing what new residents need special help with before they move into our community. It means asking families, especially past caregivers, what their loved one struggles with.
We’ll also talk about what seniors can do independently. Preserving as much autonomy as possible is important for retaining feelings of control and independence!
This information allows us to come up with a comprehensive written plan for each resident’s care.
These plans are:
- Thorough
- Communicated with families
- Adaptable over time as senior’s needs change
However, since not all assisted living communities dedicate themselves to individualized care, it’s important to choose one that prioritizes these plans. Morada Midwest City hires empathetic and experienced professionals who are well-versed in making plans that work.
Plus, our team is excited to get to know each resident on an individual level. We won’t just greet your loved one with a smile. We’ll listen to their stories and take their opinions and ideas to heart.
Our Apartments
The best assisted living Midwest City has to offer also prides itself on having comfortable apartments that residents love to live in.
Our Oklahoma retirement community has studio apartments with hotel-style layouts. The bed sits in an open, wheelchair-accessible room with other furniture and a fully-functional kitchenette.
You can also choose one-bedroom apartments. In these spaces, the bedroom is separate from other areas of the apartment like the kitchen and living area. They’re ideal for seniors who need more space.
Regardless of your floor plan layout, the apartment comes with:
- Comfortable bedding
- Furnishings for added comfort
- Carpeted floors
- Wall space for hanging personal photos and artwork from home
- Treated windows
- Ample natural light
- Pet-friendly features
- Walk-in closets
- Ample storage space
- Ensuite kitchenettes complete with a refrigerator and freezer
They also are made for mobility with accessible features, including:
- Open floor plans for easy navigation
- Wide doorways for wheelchair access
- Low countertops and sinks
- Grab bars to prevent falls
- Grip bars and railings
- Walk-in showers
- No-slip shower mats
Plus, smoke detectors and sprinkler systems also enhance safety!
Amenities for a Great Senior Lifestyle
We also offer robust community amenities. These areas allow residents to relax independently or with friends.
They provide space to enjoy life outside the apartment. This is important since staying at home can impact people’s mental health and cause:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Agitation
- Boredom
Some amenities our residents enjoy include:
- Game and card rooms
- TV lounges
- A hair salon
- Restaurant-style dining areas
- Landscaped community courtyards
- Outdoor walking paths
Both apartments and community amenities at Morada Midwest City are built for accessibility. The same wheelchair and walker accessibility features as apartments boast also exist throughout the community. Our relaxation areas have additional accessibility features like wide, easy-to-navigate hallways.
Vibrant Community Activities
Seniors are at a higher risk of social isolation than younger people. Age is one of the greatest risk factors for loneliness.
According to the National Institute on Aging, this can cause health problems like:
- Alzheimer’s
- Dementia
- Depression
- Heart disease
- Hypertension
- Immune system issues
Luckily, top senior living in Oklahoma means gaining access to unique and exciting activities and events. The activity calendar at Morada Midwest City includes diverse offerings like:
- Game nights
- Bingo
- Movies with friends
- Fitness fun exercises
- Family Feud games
- Get-togethers for food like pancakes and frozen yogurt
- Morning hymns and Bible study
- Noodle ball
- Balloon tennis
- Yoga and meditation
With so many options to choose from, each resident is sure to find something that strikes their fancy!
Plus, community activities are a great way to nip loneliness in the bud. Residents don’t just get to spend time with people for the duration of events. They also meet people with similar interests there.
Since all of the people at these events live within community walls, it’s easy for them to meet up every day. Sharing a meal or spending time in game rooms is simple. It allows residents to foster long-term bonds and nurture lifelong connections.
Dining and Wellness Programs
Morada Midwest City also offers elderly support for health and wellness.
Wellness workshops are common events that the community offers. These seminars let residents learn about how to take their health into their own hands.
Fitness classes are a regular way that residents start their days. Stretching and light exercise keep seniors flexible and boost mobility in assisted living communities.
Our dining programs also help keep residents fit. We offer chef-prepared meals made with all-natural ingredients. They taste great and offer seniors a balanced diet.
From salads to spaghetti, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
