The Parke Assisted Living

The facility was very nice, the lobby had a massive aquarium which helped to bring a bit of life to the facility. We were greeted by a very friendly staff who helped us find where we needed to go. I would give this place four stars instead of five because the hallways were extremely long, which can be inconvenient for more immobile residents, and the rooms were very poorly lit. If I were a resident of this facility, I would request better lighting in the rooms, as well as some more personal amenities. The rooms reminded me of a poorly furnished hotel, but I suppose that most of the residents aren't used to a five star resort. From what I was told, the meals were particularly good, as well as the selection of activities to keep the residents' minds busy. I played my first billiards game here, and I can definitely say that the residents have no excuse to be bored.

I decided to move my grandmother into The Parke in Tulsa, Oklahoma after I visited the facility to evaluate whether it was a good place to place your loved ones. The first thing that I noticed was that the property is very clean and well kept. The next thing I notice was the professionalism of the staff. The entire staff seemed like they cared about all of their residents. I also loved the floor plans of the apartments. The apartments are spacious and are clean, which is important to my grandmother and I. What really won me over was the fact that The Parke provides residents with free transportation, as well as an on-site beauty parlor, housekeeping and linen service and a post office. The community is gated and they also have on-site security, which makes my grandmother feel safe in her home. My grandmother has now lived at The Parke for over a year now and she is very happy with her living arrangements. She feels independent, yet safe because she knows that someone will always be there if there is an emergency. I would recommend this place to anyone.
