Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Tulsa, OK

"My husband stayed at Covenant Living at Inverness and got some skilled nursing. He was a patient there. He got nursing care, physical therapy, and speech therapy there. I was able to come out there any time; there were no visiting hours. I was able to stay with him each night, and they also allowed me to eat meals with him like lunch and dinner. The least we liked about it was that sometimes we had to wait for a nurse to come if we needed something. Sometimes they would get busy, and it would take a while to come and help us. But other than that, it was a very nice place. The staff were very attentive. They were very nice and very pleasant and always willing to help my husband with anything. I was able to have several meals there with him, and the food was very good and very delicious. Breakfast was usually a choice of biscuits and gravy or eggs any way you wanted. Lunch was sometimes grilled chicken with rice and a vegetable. The desserts were really good. It was like cheesecake or a pie for dessert. He was able to get flavored water, tea, coffee, or juice for breakfast. For dinner sometimes it was baked fish, some type of steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy. It was very good. My husband's room was very nice. He had a closet and a dresser to keep his clothes in. He had a bathroom and a sink. There was no shower. Down the hall, there's a shower room. When he wanted to take a shower, they would take him down to the shower room. They had kind of a schedule for showers. On certain days of the week, he could have a shower. There is one window in his room. There was a nice reclining chair. If he didn't want to be in the bed all the time, he could use his reclining chair. There's plenty of light in the room. Medicare paid for his time there."

"I will start by saying if I could give 10 stars I would. After caring for my husband for 9 years, full time for the last 3 1/2 years, I decided he was declining to a point that I needed more help in caring for him. After struggling with the thought of putting him in a facility I had tried to get him in Baptist Village but due to some financial reasons it wasn’t possible in beginning so I chose another facility. It was not a good experience for us as he needed full care including feeding and his needs were not met. After various different things happened in that facility, I knew I couldn’t leave him there. He was now Medicaid approved and we could now go to Baptist Village. He was accepted and we transferred him after about 5 weeks at the other facility. Oh my! The difference in care was remarkable. Each staff person introduced themselves and they came in every couple of hours to check on him. All staff members seemed to take it to a personal level. I think each one cared for him as if it was their family member. They got him up daily to eat meals in dining room. He wasn’t himself and I thought it was due to the move and kept waiting for him to improve but he didn’t. The staff, as well as hospice, was trying to prepare me but I had seen him get down many times and recover so I kept telling them they just didn’t know him. They allowed me and his mom to stay with him due to his condition and aides came in every 2 hours, 24 hours a day. He was there two weeks and continued to decline although staff and I were trying our best to get his strength up. He had quit eating and didn’t want drink. I insisted on giving him iv fluids although nurses were trying to tell me it was end time. I thought they just didn’t know him. But they knew. They had experience with it. I started comfort care as he had already stopped responding to us and he was gone in 4 days. They allowed us all the company we wanted and nurse was in there every couple of hours to make sure he was comfortable. We could not have asked for better support. All staff were there for our family and for him. I’m so glad we had Evergreen at Baptist Village staff there for us during that time. We would not have made it through this without them. I thought the facility itself was beautiful but staff is above and beyond. Thank you to all staff on East wing for your support. I know in my soul that God sent us there."
