Assisted Living Communities in Broken Arrow, OK

"My mother is in Canoe Brook. We like that it is only 5 years old, their prices are as good as anywhere else, the care is better, and the food is really good. Everybody there is very happy, and they actually all like the food, which I know seems to be a big deal. We didn't think that she would be happy there, but she's happy, and she's doing much better. They are very good. If anything happens, they call us immediately. They are very responsive. When she took over her apartment, they redid everything. They made it all fresh and new. They are very good. The room is actually more spacious. It has like a little refrigerator and kitchenette, and she likes to have her snacks there. It has enough room for her bed, dresser, a couch, and a chair. It is nice. "

"I went to The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. It has good highway access. They presented well like it was a very nice-looking establishment. They had a patio. They have a garden. They had a nice outside area for sitting, relaxing, visiting with family, and for the residents to go out and relax. The staff was very polite, professional, eager to answer questions, and willing to do whatever to help. They provided general information to assist me in getting the aid and assistance benefits I needed."

"I am impressed with Brookdale Owasso. I like the rooms, but I do wish that were a little bigger. As small as they were, there seemed to be a lot of space. Overall, everything was clean. The staff member was very informative. She showed us around and told us about the price. She was very upfront about that, which I liked. I really enjoyed the tour. When we were there, they were having a dinner where the residents and their families could come in and mingle. I thought that was cool. They would take the residents places and have card games. The pricing was a little pricey."

"My mother-in-law moved to BeeHive Homes of Broken Arrow. What I like best is the care that's provided by everybody that we've met who works there. They're just great. They're caring and they know us. It's very personable. What I like least about it is just the links to the facility. It takes a long time to walk from one end to the other end because my mother-in-law is on the far end of the front door. So we have to walk the furthest distance to get to her. The staff is very caring. They care and they know the residents. The food smells great. The cleanliness is very good. It does not smell bad there. They take the trash out of the rooms. The things are tidy, and the building, I believe, is relatively new. It's in very good shape. I don't see where any repairs or anything needs to be fixed. They just hired a new activities coordinator this past week. This lady has already put out an activity schedule through an email to let everybody know what activities will be going on for October. I think the room size is just the right size and the layout is, I think very efficient. It has a large bathroom with secure seating in the shower area. It's safe."

"My mother is in Canoe Brook of Broken Arrow. I like it because it's a smaller community. The people there are very friendly. It's very open. I visited other places and they all offer the same things, as far as daily activities, the dining, where they cook their meals, bingo, games, outings, the hair salon and stuff like that. When you take into account the cost, this place is cheaper than the others. This ended up being the perfect place for her because it is smaller and I just don't think she'll get lost. I have a one-on-one with the directors there. They reached out to me and we have a good rapport, and they're welcome to any questions that I might have. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to eat in the dining area with the residents because of COVID regulations but from what I can tell, the food looks really good. It's very clean."

"Forest Hills came highly recommended by another assisted living center my father was in, he needed more help than they were licensed for. We have not been disappointed - his new room meets his new needs, the facility does not smell and the food is excellent. Adam (Adminstrator) and his staff as been GREAT with my father. I highly recommend Forest Hills to anyone, just like it was to us."

"I really liked Prairie House. I thought it was very neat and inviting. The person during the tour did well. She didn't know we were coming, which was kind of hard, but she helped us. I noticed that couples were watching a movie, some of them were sitting around, and it would be nice to have interaction like that. It was nice, clean, and new looking."

"Baptist Village of Broken Arrow only has about 20 beds. What we really liked about the facility was it was really open. Most of the facilities that we looked at were like motels where the hallways are long and they have handrails along the halls. My mom is in the position where it's kind of hard for her to walk, and Baptist has ten rooms on each side of the facility, so once she walks out of each room, it's all open. There are no long hallways for her to walk, each section has a common area with a couch and TV. They have their own dining area in that section too and it's basically all open. There are other parts of the facility that you can go to, they do have other common areas. They have a safe room, which we were interested in. It was just more of a home-type atmosphere. My mom toured the facility and felt like that, since everything was all open, she didn't have to walk very far to get to the lunchroom, and so on. It was just a better setup for her. We visited the assisted living but they do have another section on the other side which is their memory care. If my mom gets in the position where she needs to go into a nursing home type situation, she could just transition from assisted living over to memory care, which is basically like a nursing home also. It was very clean and the staff was very loving. Each section of the assisted part has its own nurse. Everybody was very personable, even the dining staff, and just basically everybody we met. They provided us lunch when we were there. Compared to where she's at right now, the food was wonderful."

"The Stonehaven was fabulous. The amenities and the personnel were just awesomely wonderful and friendly. We had lunch there and the dining room experience was just like going into a nice restaurant. The waiters and waitresses were just very friendly and welcoming. The rooms and the entry area were just absolutely beautiful. You felt like you were just in a very nice hotel. There were several patios with outdoor fireplaces. They did have an onsite barber and beauty shop. They had little happy hours weekly for all of the guests. Even though my dad is not going to be a resident, we were welcomed back to attend those to make him feel a little bit more comfortable if that was something he was going to decide to go to soon. Overall, the facility was just absolutely beautiful. And the person who toured us was just so welcoming and kind. I think it would be a fabulous place for my dad one day."

"The staff at Franciscan Villa is wonderful. My mom has been there for six months and she truly loves it, loves the staff. The facility is always clean and the residents get excellent care. Food there is nutritious and like home cooked meals. Residents are treated with kindness and respect. "

"My father stayed at Legend at Mingo Road. Everybody was nice, and they did what they were supposed to. The place looked good. He said the food was good. They had a fireplace and an aquarium. He had two rooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen, and it was very clean and nice. It's like the Hyatt Regency."

"Country Club at Woodland Hills is very nice. My room is very comfortable. It's a large two-bedroom, and it has a back patio where I can sit outside and read. There's a full kitchen, a washer and dryer, and a full car garage. The staff is very good and very attentive. The dining area is closed right now because of the pandemic. They have movies, card games, and snacks. They show a lot of movies about places that you could travel to."

"I have talked to people who have lived at Sand Plum who liked it, as well as those who had relatives lived there who were very pleased with it. The place was very clean and they had lots of activities for the residents. They had true 1-bedroom apartments, with a living room and a bedroom, and they were reasonably priced. The menu and food were very good. They had Bingo, arts and crafts, and a thermal suite where you could go and sit in a tub of hot water which was really nice for aching bones. Thye also had a beauty shop. The person who showed us around was personable, very friendly, and she knew what she was talking about. She was very helpful and caring."

"Montereau is a retirement assisted living facility. You buy in to the facility and the cost of that ranges from about $350,000 up to $600,000, or $6,000 to $7,000 a month, but you're talking about a place with marble everywhere and granite countertops. It's like you're on a cruise every day."
