Independent Living Communities in Lindsay, OK

"We toured Rivermont at the Trails Independent Living. The people were very, very nice. They explained everything that was going on and every question that we had they answered with concise answers, which was wonderful, no hemming and hawing about anything. Their restaurant was lovely. We did eat there, and the food was very nice. They have all the stoves and refrigerators. Everything was there."

"I'm going to Silver Elm Estates Norman. It is wonderful. The room is big enough, and everything was just really wonderful. They have so many activities, and that's what I'm really interested in. They've got music, games, and everything. I just love it. I'm so excited. They have a room where they have their birthday parties and special occasions if you want to be with your family. It's big enough for Christmas to have all my family there. We ate there and it was very, very good. You can have breakfast any time, morning, evening, and night. It has all kinds of things for breakfast: waffles, pancakes, bacon and eggs. It's all good. I had fish for dinner, and the fish was delicious. I had vegetables, and they were great. I love the floor plan. The rooms are wider, so you can make things fit better. There'll be some things I probably can't. I'm gonna store them in my second bedroom first, and then I'm gonna change them around. I love the dining room because they put the smaller tables all together and made one big long table. We all sat at the long table this morning and we had more laughter and more fun. I just enjoyed my whole day talking to new people and laughing. It was nice, and my niece really did like it. The staff was wonderful. I didn't even know there was anything to be shown over there in the garden area. It's just a bunch of nice, beautiful trees, and then they get it all landscaped out, all the green grass, and no weeds. It's gorgeous. The cleanliness is wonderful. No smells, no nothing. It smelled so nice and fresh in there when we came in. It was very, very clean."

"I toured Sooner Station University North Park. I've been watching it being built. I thought it was student housing because it said Sooner Station. I thought it was student housing until they put up a sign that it was a senior facility. I was like OK. I toured the place, and it being brand new, I walked in and just saw cleanliness. I walked around and saw how nice the place was. It was another nice place to go to. The staff was good. She was at the front desk and she showed me around, because she stayed at the front desk, but she did know what was going on there. She took me around all over and it was nice."

"I toured Sage at Cobblestone Creek. They're very clean. The rooms were very spacious. I just can't afford it. The staff seemed friendly and very knowledgeable about the community."

"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. "
