Overview of Tealridge Retirement Community

Tealridge Retirement Community is a single-story senior living community in Edmond, Oklahoma, about three miles from the city center. It offers independent living alongside assisted living with memory care, so residents can find the level of support that fits them and adjust over time without leaving a familiar setting. The community is administered by Shekita Anderson and led by Executive Director Melissa Mahaffey. With 80 beds and occupancy at about 76 percent, it is a mid-sized community that currently has room to welcome new residents.

Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, giving couples and individuals a few ways to match their space and budget. Daily life centers on an active calendar that includes movie nights, outings to local restaurants, volunteering with area charities, and group games and wellness programs. Transportation services and on-site fitness and recreation round out the practical side of living there, and the community is pet friendly.

The memory care program is built for residents living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, pairing a secure environment with specialized support that includes medication management. The stated emphasis is on dignity, independence, choice, and comfort, which points to a care approach that tries to preserve day-to-day autonomy while keeping residents safe.

State inspections by the Oklahoma State Department of Health have generally centered on documentation practices and infection-control routines rather than concerns with hands-on resident care, with cited issues resolved through accepted plans of correction. Families touring the community can ask how those areas are handled day to day.

The neighborhood scores 40 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most trips will involve a short drive. Its location off NE 140th Street keeps it convenient for family in the greater Edmond and Oklahoma City area to visit.
