Assisted Living Communities in Oklahoma City, 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 toured Village on the Park - Oklahoma City. I liked the way it was. They had cottages with garages, and I liked that. The room was nice and I liked the way it was laid out. I liked the amenities, too. I liked everything about it."

"i toured here recently looking for my mother. The sales counselor, Alex, toured us and actually listened to what we needed instead of talking over us. We stayed and had lunch and the food was excellent, I never thought food would be like this in a retirement home and mom loved it! The director took time to introduce herself and talk to us about senior housing and the whole time we talked current tenants living there would stop in to say hi and chat. You could tell the tenants were happy and the director and staff cared. We even discussed "what ifs" for when mom's care progresses and we were pleased to know they have an assisted living on site and we toured that as well. The people living there looked very well cared for and we actually saw staff in the halls doing their job and helping people, unlike another community close to this one where we walked the halls and NEVER saw another soul!! We are very happy and will be moving mom into her new home at Copperlake "

"Brookdale was an excellent facility. We were very impressed. They had a very nice dining room, meeting room, and tables set up to play games. The director was very personable, interested in the people there, and seemed very caring. It seemed very homey."

"My mother moved into The Veraden. We looked at a lot of different places, and this place was smaller. I felt like they get more one-on-one attention than a bigger place. She does have dementia. The places we looked at, I got lost; they were just too big. We just decided that this one was more fit for my mom. We liked it a lot better. The staff is very polite and very helpful. Anything I need, they helped me with it. They have all kinds of activities. I know this month, they're doing bingo night. They have a Halloween thing coming up, and they took them to Braum's for milkshakes. They have arts and crafts and all kinds of things. She said the food is good; she's not starving. I like the way it's laid out. It depends on their level on what they offer, so they take that into consideration."

"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."

"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. "

"My in-laws have lived at Baptist Village for 10 years now. It has a very pleasant atmosphere and friendly and efficient staff. They have a huge variety of rooms, from a small one-bedrooms to very large two-bedrooms with a giant living area and a garage. They have actually lived in almost all of the options at one time or another. A few of them need bathroom updates, but for the most part, it is all good. The food is very good. They also have skilled nursing as an option, a beautiful rehab, and a memory care. "

"My mom is moving into Southern Plaza Assisted Living and Memory Care. I chose them for referrals. I have neighbors that have family members there. The staff who toured me did not use any slang terms. She explained everything so we could understand it, not just like a nurse or a doctor could understand it. It was everything a normal person could understand. We talked to some of the residents, and they liked the food. They're the only ones we toured that had storm shelters on every floor for every resident. And it's not a normal storm shelter. It's like a large area that has bathrooms and recliners and a huge TV screen to keep the residents occupied in memory care."

"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."

"This is a fabulous place. It's sometimes a hard decision to put a loved one in an assisted living center but if you must Wellington is the place to do it. Every staff member is kind and compassionate. My aunt has lived here almost 3 years and we've had nothing but positive experiences. My aunt receives love, care and attention. You will not find a better place than Wellington. "

"My mother hasn't moved yet, but Village at Oakwood is the one I'm going to put her in. What I like the best is the staff. They were nice. Of course, the facility was nice, too. The downside is my mom likes to walk, and there are not a lot of places outside of the property for an elderly person to walk, so she'll have to walk inside if she wants to walk. I want my mom at Village at Oakwood. The staff members were really informative and nice, and all the staff I met were good. I didn't try their food, but their menu was big. The place was very clean and very neat. The atmosphere was very friendly, open, and happy. All the people there seemed happy. It was good. The room sizes were sufficient. They were good. The one that we looked at gives my mother two rooms, a big bathroom, and a big shower."

"My father lives in "The Inn" assisted living at The Fountains at Canterbury. I had lunch with Dad yesterday, he joked with Imelda saying he wanted a T-bone steak and Lobster before placing his lunch order, while he was enjoying some cottage cheese from the salad bar. Imelda quickly returned with Dads plate that had been prepared with a thick moist ham surrounded by broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, a sweet potato and dinner roll. Dad topped is meal off with chocolate ice cream and coffee. Interesting conversations among his dining mates took place regarding the morning’s activities and the upcoming afternoon’s programs and sharing past memories and treasured moments. The best part about dinner conversations is there's no time limit for sharing and laughing, it usually go on for up to two hours and they are the last ones to leave the dining room."
