Countryside Assisted Living of Tahlequah

Countryside Assisted Living of Tahlequah is a 55-bed Level II assisted living community administrated by Lakehsha Mcnac, situated at 1380 North Heritage Lane in Tahlequah, Oklahoma 74464, in Cherokee County. Licensed as a Level II assisted living facility, Countryside provides both assisted living and memory care services with 24-hour staffing, physician services on-site, and activities of daily living support for residents who require structured daily assistance but not skilled nursing intervention.

Occupancy stands at approximately 67 percent, with roughly 37 residents occupying 55 total beds on any given day. This occupancy rate sits in line with the Oklahoma state average of 60.6 percent, indicating stable demand for the community. The facility offers eight confirmed amenities and services: assisted living programming, memory care, activities of daily living assistance, physician services, laundry and housekeeping, a fitness center, a spa and beauty salon, and 24-hour staffing. These services position Countryside as a moderately comprehensive option for seniors who need structured daily assistance with personal care, medication management, and other ADL support without requiring intensive skilled nursing-level medical intervention.

Countryside’s inspection record reveals compliance concerns that warrant direct family verification. The Oklahoma State Department of Health, Protective Health Services has conducted thirteen inspections and visits. The most recent, a complaint investigation on August 27, 2025, identified eleven deficiencies against the Oklahoma state average of eight. The specific deficiencies centered on resident assessments, incident reporting procedures, medication self-administration policies, and quality assurance processes. Earlier inspections showed recurring administrative and procedural concerns in similar categories. Most complaint investigations across the facility’s history were unsubstantiated, though the August 2025 investigation was substantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions appear in available documentation. The absence of enforcement actions indicates the deficiencies have been procedural in nature rather than involving immediate resident safety crises, though this does not diminish the importance of family inquiry into specific protocols.

Countryside Assisted Living of Tahlequah suits seniors requiring structured daily assistance with activities of daily living and those seeking dedicated memory care services in Cherokee County.

Families should ask directly about resident assessment protocols and how they are implemented and monitored, incident reporting procedures and the facility’s system for documenting and responding to adverse events, medication self-administration policies and the safeguards in place for residents managing their own medications, and the specific corrective actions implemented to address the August 2025 deficiency findings before making a placement decision.
