What to Consider About Assisted Living in Muskogee

From golf courses and water parks to museums and fancy theaters, the town of Muskogee in eastern Oklahoma has plenty of activities for seniors to enjoy throughout the year. Nearly one in six people who reside in Muskogee are aged 65 and over. Some of these seniors require some help with daily living, and there are two assisted living communities in town that may be able to accommodate them. The official name for these locations in Muskogee and other parts of Oklahoma are Assisted Living Centers and Residential Care Homes. They are licensed and regulated by the state's Department of Health.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Muskogee
