Independent Living Communities in Lindsay, OK

"Me and my wife liked the layout. They were very informative. We liked that we had access to the outdoors without having to go to the lobby or each one of the apartments. They looked very clean. The staff was excellent. We were not given a meal. They have no swimming pool, but I think they had a library, an exercise room, and an entertainment room, but we did not see those. It felt homey."

"The manager at Savannah House Senior Housing was very nice. She asked good questions like what you wanted to see, what you were looking for, or how much room you needed. We looked at a couple of apartments and the two bedrooms were very nicely put together. There was plenty of room. It was probably some of the coldest days when we visited, so they had maintenance going around. Even their elevator quit working. It was so cold they couldn't keep it going. She then showed me the meeting room and they have activities there. They didn't provide meals. They were set up just to provide activities and you could rent it out and everything. It was clean and well put together, so it would be a nice place to stay. The only thing was the elevator was outside. You had a shelter to walk in, but if it was raining and blowing or something, you would still get wet. Sometimes in Oklahoma, we get icy below-zero weather. So in the wintertime, it's kind of hard."

"I went to Savannah House of Norman II. They're also owned by Carlsbad. They're a senior apartment. They do not provide meals, but they have like a recreation room where they have parties and you could rent it if you had a family gathering or something, you could reserve it for that kind of thing. They were very nice. It was probably one of the coldest days we had here so far in Oklahoma. It was right around Christmas. Their elevator quit working because of the cold. It's an outside elevator. Their facility has outside walkways that are protected from rain coming straight down, but if you had anything blowing, you'd still get wet or whatever. But it was very nice. The people were extremely nice and helpful with information. I looked at a two-bedroom-one-bath, and it was nice and clean and well set up, but it was a little higher than what I wanted to pay. The staff who toured us was a lady and she was one of the leasing agents. She was very helpful. She gave me a lot of information. We saw two different apartments. One of them had been mislabeled. She thought it was a one-bedroom, and when we got there, we found out it was a two-bedroom. It was a very clean place. You could walk up and down the stairs or you could take the elevator. But the elevator was outside so you were in the elements. "

"The Carlstone keeps their grounds nice with lots of flowers. The only thing is I wish we had more places to sit outside. It is a new complex and so it's nice. The people are OK, just not as attentive as I would like them to be because we've had people here that died and they don't even know for a couple of days that they're gone. They're getting the food in hand. We've just gotten a new chef and he seems to be good. I have a four-bedroom with a living room and a tiny kitchen. There's a washer and dryer on the premises, which is nice. We have the typical bingo, exercise class, card games, and cornhole. We have no art activities to speak of. The people are pleasant. They have different prices for different people. When they have you come in, they give you a better price, but then they raise it after a certain length of time. I don't know what it's going to be when it goes up next time, and that's what I'm concerned about, but right now, it's OK."
