Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Oklahoma City, OK

"We went to Hefner Mansions. Sarita is amazing. She is the marketing director or whatever you want to call it. I love the facility regarding its cleanliness and the modernness of it. We've had lunch with them twice now. Their side menu is like everyday food and stuff like that. I had a cheeseburger with them, and it was delicious. The whole family went as far as my son, my daughter, and the children, so everybody went, and it was cool because they were very welcoming to everybody. They thought the kids were adorable. All the residents and the staff were very accommodating. They didn't seem like they were being bothered by us or anything like that. We ate in the dining room with everybody, and it was personable and very nice. Their walls are nice, white, and clean. They have an herb garden and a little wagon in their hallway. Their halls are lit up very nicely. They're wide enough for several people to be able to walk down there. My mom can't walk long distances, and she has to rest in between, and she was able to do so. They had various chairs around. The thing that Mom probably didn't like about it is that it's a single level. The dining room is in phase one. Phase two has been done, remodeled, and everything. However, because it's single level, they are split into rings, so there can be some long walking and stuff like that to get to the dining room. The thing that I liked about this place is that, unlike all the other facilities that I've been to, my mom has a separate entrance that she can go in. She doesn't have to check in with them. They can knock on her personal apartment door. She's got a porch that she's able to have her porch furniture out on and stuff like that. It's very nice, and it's very homey. It's privately owned, so we don't have to deal with corporations that are promising us when they're doing their sales talk and stuff like that. There are 99 apartments there, and they are 100% filled right now. That's how good they are. "

"Epworth Villa was very clean. Everybody was nice and helpful. The food was fantastic. It's just a well-cared-for property. They have libraries and gyms, and they have different outings that they go on and different clubs that meet there. The rooms were spacious and very well kept."

"My mom moved into Homestead of Del City. She immediately felt comfortable when she arrived there, and all of the care and the needs that she's needed are promptly given to her. There's a full-time nurse on staff that went through a full assessment of her needs and is managing her well. She has a one-bedroom with a sitting area and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. They provide exercises, crafting, and bingo. They have a full dining area where they have the social settings. They have a fully decorated lounging area with a big screen TV for them to sit around and watch, and the grounds are beautiful. They have established vegetation and roses and wind chimes."

"I was looking for an independent place to live and I found Autumn House. They have every single thing in the world that I want. You have to be 62 years old, disabled or handicapped for you to get in here. When I moved in here, I have been told that this is probably the best retirement center in Oklahoma City. Physically, it is a well-manicured place. The building is very well-maintained. They have their rules but I agreed with basically all of them, so I don't have any problems with that. I like the freedom that this place gives me. I'm free to come and go. If you're off the grounds or out of your room, they just want a little tag put on your door so they'll know. This place is monitored 24 hours a day. If you don't live here or you don't know anyone that does, you don't get in. Their staff is also excellent. "

"I toured Tealridge Retirement Community. It was good. The food was excellent. They invited us for a meal, so we went about lunchtime. We looked at both one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms, and they were very nice."

"It is a time when your children are grown and the loss of a spouse puts your future in a whirlwind. It is a time when you wonder what you will do, where will you go, and where will you live. Will it be somewhere that will help you make the most of the future years that are troubling you now? Enter, Spanish Cove. I have lived here for five years now, and I can tell you without any trouble at all that it is the best decision my children ever made for me.I took the tour and the beautiful swimming pool was my favorite thing. My apartment is right by it. It is heated and enclosed in glass. The sparkling beauty of it only partly upstages the gorgeous plants and flowers inside that flourish all year round. In the summer, the glass doors on the ceiling roll back and the beauty of a summer day engulfs its beauty. It is my Garden of Eden. But that isn't all. There are state-of-the-art exercise rooms, exercise equipment, a sewing room, a library, rooms for exercise workouts, billiard tables, coffee lounging areas, and CD library with all movies to check out. There are art classes for the creative mind, and on and on. The beautiful Central Park for chatting in front of the fire pit with its beautiful fountains just sparkles in the day and into the night.. The campus is just spectacular with all the beauty of flowers and hedges, and statues. But even more compelling is the staff and residents. The staff spends hours planning and putting into place marvelous trips for our entertainment and sometimes for our learning current events so that our minds stay sharp and aware. We travel in a gorgeous brand new coach with all the extras that make travel fun. And the people are the dearest on Earth. They absorb your sorrows as well as your joys and they help make the journey into the last season of your heart, better than all the other seasons put together. Getting to decorate your new apartment is the most fun.....I even got to bring my two cats and decorate the apartment with cat trees, etc. any way I chose. Some say my apartment looks like a little girl ten years old lives there; that's okay....I will always be ten so they are nice to me and just accept it. I have made some of the dearest friends I have ever had while living here. I wish I could explain adequately how the staff just unbelievably goes the second--and third mile--for US. If you are looking, look no further. This is THE place to be. Needless to say I love it here......... YOU will, too. "

"Touchmark at Coffee Creek seemed like a bright and happy place. The woman that I met named Susan was super helpful. She had all kinds of information for me. I was able to tour one of the apartments and walk through the entire facility. The community looked fairly well-kept. They were in the middle of changing the carpet out and readying the room that I was seeing for the next occupant. What stood out to me is that their dishwasher was raised. So, when you open the dishwasher, you're not having to reach down to the floor to empty it."

"Angel Cove is a wonderful alternative to larger facilities and institutions. The home is well maintained, clean and easily accessible for all the residents. The staff are well trained and focused on caring for the residents, not talking on cell phones or unable to be found. If you are not able to live independently, this is the next best home away from home. The food is tailored to the residents likes, and it always smells wonderful. This place is awesome!!!!! "
