About Oak Hills Terrace Memory Care
Levels of Care: Assisted Living, Memory Care
Oak Hills Terrace Memory Care is a premier Memory Care and Assisted Living community in the Tyler, Texas, area that serves all of Smith County. Our residents come from all over Texas and beyond. No matter where you’ve lived before, we’d be proud to have you call Oak Hills Terrace home.
The area offers residents and visitors an unending list of places to go and see. The Azalea Residential Historic District is a must-see for friends and family visiting. Stroll through the district and view stunning gardens and historic homes. The Discovery Science Place and Historic Aviation Memorial Museum are great places for kids. We also have award-winning wineries and delicious casual dining in the Tyler area.
Whether your loved one requires some help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) or is living with the effects of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, our dedicated staff takes great pride in delivering high-quality care that is compassionate, safe, and resident-centered. Our services are designed to meet our residents’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We offer enriching activities, exciting social programs, wellness classes, restaurant-quality meals, and more.
Before a resident moves into the community, customized assessments are completed so individual care plans can be created. These care plans are updated biannually or earlier if needed. Care plans are overseen by the Executive Director, staff, Resident Care Coordinators, and RNs. In addition to the Medical Director and highly trained nursing staff, our community is staffed by a Certified Activity Director, Certified Assisted Living Manager, Certified Food Managers, and medical technicians.
