Saint Simeon’s MEMORY CENTER is a special care center for persons who suffer from 
Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Licensed by the State of Oklahoma the Memory Center provides a loving, safe and comfortable home-like setting. Residents are free to walk or roam throughout the 27,000 square-foot Center that offers a secure environment. There is a beautifully maintained Memory Center fenced courtyard.
The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center serves as the Medical Director for the Center. The Center is managed by a Registered Nurse and is staffed 24 hours a day by professionals who are specifically trained in caring for people with dementia. An Alzheimer’s Specialist directs structured daily programming. When appropriate, escorted Residents visit other areas of the Home to participate in and enjoy music concerts, special entertainment, games, chapel services and other special events.
The Memory Center’s cutting edge design includes dividing the space into six home units, which are connected by wide and well-lighted walking paths. The six home units surround a large common activity space that provides room for group activities and visiting entertainment. Each home unit consists of 5 to 7 bedrooms, a living room, dining area, and a nurse aide station that also is designed to look and function as a kitchen for supervised projects. Outside each room is a glass enclosed Memory Box that allows Residents and family members to place their favorite family pictures or other items that represent the Resident’s life and interests.
