Assisted Living Communities in Mustang, OK

"I moved to Sooner Station University North Park and I like it a lot except for the nutritional aspect which needs to be changed. Overall, I am very happy here. The place is brand new. They have great activities and great personnel, but the upper management needs to fix some things. My room is gorgeous. The living atmosphere is very comfortable. It feels safe and uplifting. We have arts, exercises every day, games, a book club, and other excellent activities. We have a beauty salon and manicure, housekeeping every week, 3 meals a day, and concierge services. I can't give a perfect rating because of the dietary issues that need to be addressed. They serve too many starches. Let's just say it's not a healthy heart diet. They have very few servers too, but they said they are going to fix it."

"My mom moved in to Brookdale Chickasha in the first week of February. They're very good and they help her mainly with medical management. They dispose all her medication at the right time and make sure she's getting what she needs. Their main nurse, April, is excellent, and Larry who's in charge of medication is excellent. They staff I've dealt with have all been polite, very professional and caring. My mom enjoys the food. The place is very clean and always well-maintained. It's a secured access facility so you can't get in and out without a code, and so they have a courtyard in the middle because it's a squared facility. I just wish they had a bigger outside area though. I also wish my mom's room were a little bit bigger. They have varied activities Monday through Friday, and several church services on Sunday, so they seem to have something going on."

"It is very clean and very nice. They have a large dining room, a beauty shop, and activities all day long. They have two chefs on duty all the time."

"We have had a very good experience here. They are the only facility with a bath tub, which is important for my mom. They also have a villa where my parents live with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, so it's almost like a home. It is not located in their main assisted living quarters; it is on the property but more like a home setting as opposed to just a single room. They have been very pleased with the food."

"I visited the Sterling House of Norman several times while my great-grandmother was a resident there and never left her once unpleased. On my first trip, I was given a complete tour and tons of details about my great-grandmother's new home. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout the entire tour and really made me feel comfortable with her making this transition. The house was well kept and allowed her to have her own personal freedom, while still keeping her active and secure. My great-grandmother really enjoyed getting to know all of the other residents and always had wonderful things to say about her time there. It was also reassuring how easy to reach and helpful the staff was for our family outside of Norman. They were happy to keep us updated and never minded taking our phone calls when we wanted to just check in. As a whole, our experience was beyond expectations. From making her adjustment a smooth and easy one to providing her with the most excellent care throughout her entire stay, Sterling House always surpassed our family's satisfaction. "

"Arbor House of Mustang was nice. The rooms were small. The staff was nice. I wasn?t very interested in the rest of it. They had a nice courtyard, and the place was very clean. The activity room was nice, but nobody was there."

"When my grandfather was there towards the end of his life, the nurses and doctors at Paradise Valley Retirement Villages were very helpful. The made sure he always had his meals on time, cards or dominoes to play and a very well balanced diet. Overall I feel like he was very well taken care of. "

"My parents are in St. Katharine, and they have been very pleased. The care has been great, and the meals are pretty good. They make friends there, and there are lots of activities. I will very much recommend it. I think one of the things that most recommends this place is that I think it has been opened about 8 years, and there are many workers who started at the beginning and are still there. They are very good at what they do. They are very kind and caring. We just feel really lucky that we have found such place. The cleanliness is very good. They have a really good activities director, and sometimes they do go on little excursions and things. It just works out really well for them. "

"I liked Spanish Cove, but I don’t believe I am ready to move in there yet. They let you remodel the apartment, and they even have some cottages that you can also remodel. They give you the budget, and if you want something that would not fit in that budget, you had to pay for it yourself. The cottages were really small houses that were right across the street from Spanish Cove. Those are really pretty much like living in a house except that you have your food in the dining room, and you had access to all the activities and the amenities. They have an unusual program where you buy in -- like right now they are having a special for $89,000. That is your buy-in, then your rent is about $2,500 a month -- which is really good -- and if you move into the assisted living it goes up to about $3,000. The buy-in helps keep your costs down over the long-term. I think $3,400 is the most you would ever have to pay a month. "

"Victorian Estates was a beautiful and cheaper place, but it was very limited. My husband has dementia, and if he progresses, they’d have to kick us out because they didn’t have the facilities. The L-shaped room was beautiful, but it wasn’t large enough for what we needed. It was very clean and very neat, and my husband and I loved it. It was not for us because it didn’t fill what we needed. "

"My mom is in Glade Avenue Assisted Living in Bethany. She's in their memory care unit, and the community has been pretty good so far. They've really taken good care of my mom. She's kind of in between memory care and needing assistance, and at first it took her a little while to adjust to it. The living area that they have is not shared by anyone. She has her own room, bathroom, and a small kitchen area. She's even able to lock her door, although the community workers have a key because they have to check on her. The facility provides housekeeping, three meals a day, and snacks, as well as offers activities. There are outside areas where she has access to go out, and they're all secured. The entire facility is secured. You have to have codes to get out of the entire building. The only issues I've had with them is communication and getting a hold of them when I need them. I guess it's really busy, because sometimes when I call there have been difficulties with them getting back to me. I have to kind of stay on top of that. Other than that, they've really taken care of her. Her room is very nice. It's very large and spacious, and very clean. She has her own maintenance where if something goes on, they come and take care of it. There's a laundry area there too, although they actually do her laundry for her if she wants them to. They come by, and if she has laundry and she doesn't feel like doing it, they do it for her, and that's been pretty good. They have a church there too, so she can attend a church group, which has been very nice for her. She likes doing that. She's able to have food in her room, and I'm guessing they based that depending on the person. There are different types of needs in the building itself, so certain people get certain treatment. It just depends on their memory issues. She hasn't participated in very many activities. She goes to the dining area, and she does go to the outside area, but I don't think she has participated very much. She's still adapting to her room, so she stays in there a lot. The place is pretty much the cheapest. The only thing is that she's on self-pay right now, and the memory care side does not accept any kind of state insurance. That's the only downfall with it. She won't be able to afford to be in that particular unit after her savings money is downplayed. According to them, they'll have a counselor assigned to her, and she may have to find a facility that accepts the state insurance or Medicare Advantage. The difference will be that when you get into a state insurance facility, you have to share a room with someone."

"I liked Homestead of Bethany quite a bit because it was really close to us, and they're remodeling. They only have about 35 residents that they take at a time. They had a lot of the same type things as other ones had. It's maybe not as upscale as the others. It's smaller, but it's very clean. The gal that took us through on the tour was a really jolly kind of person, and she takes care of setting up the schedule for doing things to help make sure that their muscles don't get atrophied, that she tries to do things even if they're in a wheelchair, there are things that they can do. These people are assisted living and some are memory care, but it was very, very nice. Depending on the evaluation of the medical doctors and the team that they have, they said my mother may qualify for assisted living, and then as she progresses in her dementia they have memory care available for her, but it's a smaller place, and I sort of liked that."

"I visited Southern Plaza Retirement. It’s a beautiful place, and my experience there was really nice. I talked to a couple of people, they were very nice, and very business-like. The facility was so nice because it's just a couple of months old. They do have trips to doctors' apppintments if you need that. It was a little more expensive."

"Heritage Assisted Living was very nice and clean. When we came in, they greeted us and the activities director showed us around and showed us stuff. They let us know what activities they have and they also posted it. Their rooms were a little bit bigger than the other place we toured, and it was nice. They have movie nights, bingo and arts and crafts."
