Assisted Living Communities in Duncan, OK

"My mother is a resident at Canoe Brook. This was a hard decision to make for; moving into senior housing. I cannot express how wonderful it has been for our whole family! The staff is so kind, the director of the nursing staff has been an exceptional caregiver, she works long hours and puts her patients first. The people of Duncan may not realize what a gem this place can be for your loved ones! "

"I went to Morada Lawton. It was beautiful. I've seen quite a few of the residents there, and they seem to be happy with where they were. So it was a nice place, but I couldn't take my friend there. The staff was nice and very helpful, especially the gentleman I spoke to. They gave me some ideas on somewhere to send her. The food smelled good, I smelled it in the hallway. It was very clean and well-organized, and it had a baby grand piano in the middle of the building."

"My mother moved into The Chateau of Lawton. They're caring for her, she's in the memory care unit, and getting excellent care. They call me if there's an issue about anything. At least I'm kept in the loop, and I like that. The nursing staff is very friendly, giving out hugs when people need them or ask for them. But they have wonderful food and a very nice facility. I couldn't ask for it to be any better. They have a courtyard, they do cookouts when the weather is nice, and there is a salon there. They come in on Wednesdays to do hair. You just have to make an appointment."

"My mother has moved into Chisholm Trail Assisted Living. They're very nice and very caring. If they find a problem, they call and let us know what's going on and keep us informed. I've eaten there with her. It's like home cooking. They have activities every day. They have bingo, they play card games and domino games, they paint T-shirts for each holiday, and do all sorts of crafts. They also take them to places to like musicals and plays. They clean her room. They do her laundry every Friday. They do everything. They do her meds. Pricing is very reasonable for what they do and what they provide."

"Ashbrook Village Assisted Living wasn't what I expected. It's clean and nice, and you have to supply your own furniture in the room. It's not what you would consider an apartment; it's just a bedroom with a sitting room and a microwave. The person who gave me the tour was the coordinator. She was nice enough but had no idea about things I asked about. She would say that she'll have to ask the boss and will get back to me. There's no smoking there and I smoke. It's a locked-down community, and you get a code to get in and out as long as you don't have dementia or anything. I was a little disappointed at the fact that even if I get the room, half my furniture will have to be in my sitting area. You're supposed to take your meals out in the dining area, and I can't do that. The only thing that was going on when I was there was they're having a staff meeting. When I toured, there was nobody anywhere, I saw rooms with a couple of people there, but nobody was out in the halls and no one was enjoying themselves or anything. The staff who gave me the tour wasn't someone who knew the policies for animals and things like that. They're kind of like a hospital wing that goes in a circle with a main desk, and that's it. They have a nice, little sitting area but no one was using it. There also was a nice inside courtyard but it looked a little overgrown, and no one was out there either. They also had a sun room where the staff was having a meeting. The rooms had walk-in closets and very nice showers with handle bars."

"I'm hoping to move into West Wind Assisted Living. I liked the people that work there. They just were very accommodating to the elderly. They were good to work with, and the rooms were nice and big. They showed me the large studio apartment, which I liked. It would give me room for my sofa, my big chair, and my TV. It was nice, airy, and clean. They had 2-bedroom apartments, 1-one-bedroom apartments, and regular studio apartments. They had a lot of activities going on for the residents. They served 3 good meals and 2 snacks, and everybody seemed to enjoy the food. They had a van service that took them to the doctor's appointments."
