The Homestead of Owasso

The Homestead of Owasso is fine. They have bingo and take the men out once a week to eat breakfast. They watch movies and have a garden between the buildings. The food looks OK to me, but my father doesn’t care for it much because it’s a lot of chicken. The amenities and staff are fine.

We did look at The Homestead of Owasso. The problem with them is that they weren?t moving very fast, but I think they are pretty nice. They are a bigger institution, and it seemed very clean. We didn?t like the way the apartment was laid out for my mom. It was fine, but not for my parents. I hear nothing but good things from other people about this place.

My mother in law has been in homestead for almost a year. The turnover rate of staff seems high. She is happy and we are know she is being taken care of. Our only concern is lack of activities. Virtually don't exist so the days get long.

The Homestead of Owasso is clean, and the caregivers are very attentive and very caring. My experience has been that they are open with the family. Communicate with them, and they will work with you. The atmosphere is very bright and very open, and they occasionally take the residents out. There is an open garden area or a patio where they had a picnic this summer and there were picnic tables and umbrellas, so it was really nice out there and most of the memory unit residents really enjoyed it. They also have their own patio where they can go out freely to the outdoors. The caregivers get to know the residents, which is a plus to me. They know them, they know what they like and what they don't like, and they know when they are having a good day or a bad day. They may not know why, but they realize it may not be a good day for them. The staff members know how to work with them, they keep them active, and each one of them knows the residents. The apartment my mother has was basically set up the way similar to her apartment in Oklahoma City. There wasn't that much change in the way it was set up, and she could have an apartment she didn't have to share with someone else.

The Homestead of Owasso was very nice. It was clean. It was pretty much the same as the other facility. It was a much larger area than what we had seen before. The rooms seemed clean. We did look at a two-bedroom and it seemed a little bit larger. It had a small kitchenette in it. They have housekeeping there. They also have a laundry facility. They offer all kinds of activities and stuff.
