Assisted Living Communities in Mustang, OK

"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. "

"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."

"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."

"Food and dining options are one of the things that would be most important to me, and is also important to my dad who has been a resident for over 10 years, Our family has eaten there many times and the food choices and quality are very good. This facility is privately owned and is very well managed when compared most of the corporate owned facilities that we had previous experiences with. The workers and staff are also very caring/considerate and get to know the residents and their families. The facility is very clean and up-to-date. They also provide various activities for the residents on a daily basis (bingo, crafts, movie night, etc.) along with occasional field trips to a baseball game or other events in addition to the weekly trips to Walmart. I feel very fortunate to have my dad (and now also my mother-in-law) reside at Heritage Assisted Living. "

"Legend at Rivendell is quiet and very well kept. It's a pretty place. Everybody is as friendly as they could be and takes really good care of my wife. I ate with her once and they have good food. They give small portions, and everybody there is slim and trim. They have somebody who does their nails. The day that she started, they took them all up for ice cream to celebrate a new resident coming. They go on scenic drives, they have a piano player that comes in, they do arts and crafts with them, and they have exercises. They keep them busy all day long. We're satisfied with them. The staff is really good. It's well kept, well lighted, up-to-date, and very clean."

"Concordia Life Care was beautiful, state-of-the-art, and very nice, but it's a lot more expensive. Their apartments are a hundred square feet smaller than the one my parents are currently in, and there's only one closet. Even though the apartments are not all that great, the setting, facilities, and amenities area all first-class. The person who took us on the tour was really nice. They had everything you could ever want, library, games, gift shop, pool, buses, and so on."

"My mother is in Baptist Village, and it's fine and clean, though understaffed sometimes. I haven’t tried the food, but my mother said its fine. It has very friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff. If you have a request, they follow through. "

"Baptist Retirement Building was an older building. They had a wide variety of apartments at different prices so people could pick what apartment fit their budget. They had wide variety of service for the people there and they could customize and take advantage of what you want to do or turn down services that you do not need or you could do without. The dining room, chapel, lay offices were all in one building and the apartments were group in other buildings and spread out in the land that they had. For people who had problems to go to the dining room, they could get their meals delivered in their room for a fee. But if they could go to the dining room, they could interact with the other people there. There was a beauty shop where you could have an appointment to have your hair done. I could have someone to take you to the grocery and you would just pay them to take them. But these were just options. You paid for your rent, your telephone, you do your own laundry, a lot of the apartment room, they had laundry room. In the top care, you would get cable, they would pay your gas, electricity and they'll do the laundry for you. There were two other three other cares in between so you could chose the deal that was right for your financial situation. "

"I had been to Saint Ann Retirement Center. It was a very good community for retirees. It is independent living. It had meals, if you wanted to have meals. If you wanted a little kitchen in your apartment, you could. It was a very nice place. It was in a good location. It also had secured living. If you wanted to move to assisted living or to totally dependent living, which was a nursing home, they have that. My grandfather lived there for about four years. He was very happy, and he enjoyed it. It was right next door to a church, so he could walk to church. It was very reasonable, very clean, and very nice place. "

"My uncle was a resident here. Before he passed away the staff took such good care of him in his last 2 years of life. They hosted a birthday party for him and baked a cake! Our family was able to visit him at anytime during his stay there and each time he was up and in great spirits. The rooms all have a private bath and my uncle was able to have some of his own furniture there to feel more like home! We will forever love this facility for the personalized care my uncle received there."

"Sommerset Neighborhood looks adequate. The staff is doing their job and is helpful. The dining area is nice, and my mother-in-law loves the food. They've got activities every day. They have crafts, Bible study, and entertainers come in. She's busy all the time. It's an excellent facility, and we're very pleased with it."
