Assisted Living Communities in Bethany, OK

"My mom is in the memory care there. It's excellent. The care is wonderful. The food is very good. The CNAs and the help are very loving and caring. I can't give examples of their activities. My mom is not where she can engage in any activities in memory care. The rooms are very nice and very comfortable. It's really a very elegant facility. They have a salon. They don't have a chapel. The memory care does have an arts and craft room and of course living room with TV."

"I did a tour of Village on the Park -Oklahoma City. If someone were to want more of a private living, or not quite ready to go in where they were completely inside of a facility, I liked the cottages. The fact that you could still be a part of it, where you could go in and eat if you wanted, take part in activities, or you could still stay in your home. You could still have that facility and then gradually work into it. I did like the independent living; I didn't tour any of the assisted living or memory care. Everyone was very friendly. I've been in the facility quite a lot over the years since I've lived here with my kids. When they were Girl Scouts, we would go and sing Christmas carols and things like that. Everything was contained there. It wasn't a nursing home, but someone that wasn't quite ready to be inside the facility, the independent living was still enough where they were so separate, as well as they could participate in activities. I looked at the cottages, as well as the independent part of it, which were like apartments. I liked the fact that it had a little patio, and they allowed you to put up a little fence. It's important because if he does this, he can take his dog; that would allow him to do that. You can't take them out in the facility and walk around among the other guests, but you have to have one of the units that have a patio, and then you can take them out in the open grounds outside and leave them that way. They are allowed to have them in their apartments, but in assisted living, they were not. Everything I saw seemed clean and organized. The lady that gave the tour knew the names of everybody that was walking down the hall, it was very personal. She did offer for us to try the food, but it wasn't a time where I could do it. She did say that I could come back and bring my father or myself and have lunch or dinner, but I just haven't had the occasion to do that with him."

"Lyndale Edmond was nice, but not as nice as the others, and the cost was about the same. The staff was very friendly. They have a shuttle that takes people out, and they have an activity room. I looked at both independent living and assisted living, but all they had available was an efficiency apartment at the time, and that wouldn't be appropriate for my brother because he needed more space than that."

"I toured Morada Midwest City. It was nice. It was clean. The rooms were smaller than what they were in the other facility. The biggest thing that I liked was the activities. They had daily activities. They posted it on the board, things of that nature. So that was a big win for me because that's something that my mother enjoys. The staff was very personable."

"Brookdale Edmond Danforth is an excellent facility. I toured their assisted living. It has a very caring staff, and the residents seemed engaged. It is also a great place for people with mobility issues. I don't have anything negative to say about them."

"I liked the people and the staff that I met at Southern Plaza. They all made me feel very welcome. They have things going on and places to go on the bus. I enjoy the activities and the food is very good here too. They have a room with equipment for workouts that I use. The community is very nice, quiet, clean, and welcoming."

"We toured Glade Avenue Assisted Living. It was very clean. The memory care part was very open, and there was a lot of space for people to meet and converse, which I did not find in other places. The rooms were very good size. The lady who took me around was very, very nice. They did a lot of things with their residents, and they had a lot of rooms where they could all meet, like watch TV, and they took them on excursions. I just liked it. I was very impressed with it. They have single rooms and shared rooms."

"We were very impressed with Homestead of Bethany. They were very friendly. It didn't have a bad smell, a urine smell, or anything like that. It was very homey. We were very comfortable there. The lady who runs it was extremely nice, walked us through everything, and explained everything. It made us feel better. They had a library and a piano. They had individual rooms that were set up with a very small living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom, and it was very clean. They had activities."

"My mother-in-law is at Baptist Village in their long-term memory care area. One reason why I chose it is because they take Medicaid. They also have a very good reputation. The building itself is very old and had really nothing nice about it, but I liked the staff. I feel like she would get good care, and it’s very close to our house. I like that their dining room had a lot of natural light. "

"We chose Concordia Life Care Community for my mother-in-law because mainly they have a room while other places didn't. She's doing well there and it's working out for her. They've been very attentive and kind, and we have had no problems. For as little as she can do, they do a good job with the activities. I know that what we're paying is on the upper end. It is located fairly close to the hospitals."

"Saint Ann Retirement Center was wonderful, it's very very high quality. It's fantastic and it has a whole scale, although for skilled nursing you go into a different facility with them. I saw their assisted living and independent living, and both of them were good. They're a little more segregated than the other place I saw, but in any case, it's a beautiful facility and it's just wonderful. They were very, very comparable there especially compared to many other places I've visited around town. There were still staff members that were there when 5-6 years ago, so they've got a long-time dedicated staff. They're very fine people. It's very top quality, very clean, very orderly, and the people are well attended. They have little patio areas where you can plant flowers and be outside, and that's a shared area. The access to the outside is controlled."

"My father required care in the skilled/rehab section of Baptist Village. It is a newer facility that is very clean. I loved how each section or neighborhood was laid out. Each one had its own kitchen with an eat in bar that was open to the dining and living area. The rooms were surrounding the area with the nurses station in the middle. It felt very home like. Every staff member that we came in contact with was very kind, helpful and attentive. The therapists were also very knowledgeable and provided excellent treatment. I was very impressed with this skilled facility and would highly recommend it. "

"I visited Baptist Village of Oklahoma City's assisted living for my parents. My mom has been a Southern Baptist all her life and they have that church in the building that she can go to. She could just walk down the hall. I like that all of the bills and all of the charged things are included so there are no additional charges for treatments or whatever else. It's all just in one bill so that's just more convenient. The staff were great. The facilities looked clean and the structure looked fine. Nothing looked like it had issues. I would say the rooms are comparable to the other facilities we saw online. The one that we're getting is 543 square feet and it's a 1-bedroom. The place's atmosphere seemed very loving and caring to me."

"The rooms are nice, clean and spacious. The staff is professional and caring. Family-like atmosphere. 5-star care of residents."
