Overview of Countryside Assisted Living of Tahlequah

At 1380 N Heritage Lane in Tahlequah, Cherokee County, Countryside Assisted Living of Tahlequah operates a 55-bed campus spanning assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Administrator Lakehsha McNac oversees the building, which sits in one of the more walkable locations in the Oklahoma senior care market, scoring an 80 on the Walk Score scale. Most daily errands are reachable on foot from this address, which is notable for a care community outside a major metro. Tahlequah Regional Medical Center provides acute-care access in the surrounding area.

Current occupancy is 67%, with 37 of the 55 beds filled. Staffing runs around the clock with licensed nurses and CNAs on-site, and the facility offers physician services on-site as well. Residents can access support with activities of daily living, housekeeping, laundry, a spa and beauty salon, and a fitness center. The three-level care model means residents with changing needs do not necessarily have to relocate.

Inspections by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Protective Health Services have returned themes around care planning and documentation, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, and staffing and staff credentials.

Countryside does not accept Medicaid or Medicare, operating entirely on private pay. For families self-funding a placement that covers the full continuum from independent to memory care, with physician services on-site and a genuinely walkable address in northeast Oklahoma, this is a facility worth putting on the shortlist.
