Independent Living Communities in Oklahoma City, OK

"Silver Elm Estates was the last one I visited. It's close to my daughter and grandkids. The kids could walk to and from their house, and I was impressed with that. I like the location. I like the apartments. The prices were even a lot better than some of the others. Their dining room was nice. The staff was excellent. I like everything about it. Everyone I met was nice. And their facility was nice, too. If you didn't have a unit outside, their inside units were all attached. You could walk in through the hall, but they all had a back door that led to a courtyard, and that was nice. I like that."

"We like everything at Laurel Springs. It was really nice. They showed us all of them, like the pool, the clubhouse, and the walking track. They also showed us a number of the actual rental properties and a number of different layouts. They have potlucks, but they don't serve meals. Everything was excellent. We didn't see anything we didn't like. The staff members were excellent."

"The Veraden was very clean. The tour was very informative. The lady that gave us the tour was very nice. The only drawback is they're a little bit more expensive than what I can afford. Other than that, it was very nice and very clean. There was no odor. The service seemed very well. They were very friendly and very helpful. The dining area was very clean. Everything was very clean. At the time we were there, they were getting ready to serve dinner, and people were coming down, and all seemed very happy and very friendly with the service they were getting."

"Condo was very clean, floor plan was well thought out, nice size rooms. No food. LaDonna, the person showing the condo was very courteous, helpful, and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the property. She was able to answer all our questions and made us feel very comfortable."

"I toured Silver Elm Estates Norman. They were like an apartment complex. You had a lease. They had a 12-month lease that you signed. In almost every other place I went, you pay month-to-month. They had the largest square footage of the apartments, the one-bedroom, one bath, and they were the least expensive. They're in more of a residential area, not too far from the I-35 that goes up and down the main highway. They had a full-size kitchen with its own washer and dryer. All utilities were paid, three meals a day, local telephone service, basic cable, housekeeping, track hall, and the regular stuff you see. The person who took me around was nice. I had not made an appointment. I just walked in and she said, "Well, let's go take a look then." I thought that was very nice of them. I like their place. I like the trails better. It was a clean place, and I liked it."

"I am a resident of Paseo Avenues. You can eat here or cook your own meals, but there's no extra charge. The food is excellent. Other than that, I'm used to getting sandwiches every day. The rooms are very spacious. You have a huge walk-in closet. The bathroom is so big that you can get lost in it. I share a room with two other females. The staff is very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very experienced in what they do. They are very caring people. There is a playground on the side for families that come to visit with their children, and on certain days of the week, there are meetings on what to do, and what not to do. They do board games, exercises, video games, and stuff like that. It's very affordable."

"I toured Mt. Olive Senior Cottages. It was an apartment complex. The place was pretty good. The apartments were spacious. It was easy to get around inside, and the bathrooms were well-equipped. They had a clubhouse."

"We have a facility for my mother called Southern Plaza Retirement and the deposit has been put down in the independent care unit. They're getting a unit ready for occupancy this coming June. The facility was well kept and well organized. The staff was very knowledgeable and very caring. If one needed an additional level of care like assisted living or memory care, they had all three services. It was located in the Town of Bethany, which is a small town. It was within a block or two of the church that my mother attends. The pricing was competitive with other similar services and other facilities. It had covered parking and it wasn't far from my mother's sister and it's not far also from where we live here in Norman. Those were the major points. They have one- and two-bedroom units. The one-bedroom unit was satisfactory for her. They provided dining, so they had food preparation and housekeeping and an array of social activities that she could partake in. They have qualified staff if a medical need would arise. It ministered to her natural needs, emotional needs, social needs, and even spiritual needs. They have ministers that come in and minister if she would elect to attend. They are a top-notch quality facility. Considering the amenities, the quality of construction, and the condition of that, they do a top job. The complex spans a block. It just depends upon which entrance you take to come into the facility. It's also run by the Nazarene College, so the people that are managing it have a spiritual orientation. They understand that a person isn't just a warm body roaming the halls. They have a heart and they have an inner person which also needs ministry. They have that dimension because they're ministry-oriented. It's not just commercially oriented. They're not just trying to make a profit, although they have to make a profit. They have memory, assisted and independent, and they have different administrators for each level. We not only took a tour with Lisa in the independent living, but we took a tour also with Debbie in the assisted living because at that time, it appeared that mom might be moving in with her husband."

"My sister moved in to independent living 4-5 years ago, recently had to leave due to her health and condition beyond independent living. St. Ann's staff and facility was a gift from God for our family. Staff, facility and food was outstanding for us. Staff were part of sister's family and made our situation very sad as we had to leave. Thanks for all the years of great life for my sister."

"I chose Superbia Retirement Village because I needed a place to be, and I had to be out of my other place. It's very nice. I like it a lot. Right now, my room is small because I'm in just a small efficiency, but it's very nice. My family went in and redid and re-cleaned everything. The staff is very knowledgeable. They have a library, video type thing, two laundromats, solariums, a hair salon, and a nail salon. There are long halls, and you get a lot of walking inside or outside. There are cottages and other places inside as well."

"My husband and I moved to Baptist Village because it was near our daughter. We had a one bedroom apartment. We had lunch and breakfast on Friday mornings. The food they served was all good. There were a lot of activities like dominoes, rubic's cube, sponsoring church every month, sushi night, bell choir and many more. I liked the price and I would recommend this place to others. "

"Whispering Creek is open and has lots of room. I like the neighbors, it's quiet, and they have a nice area to walk or run around. You can go out to dinner with a group and play cards and games like croquet. The staff is extremely helpful. I've only had a few work orders, and they handle them the next day. They had a Veterans dinner and a Memorial Day dinner, which were both very nice. I'm very pleased with where I'm at."

"I toured the Album Quail Springs. It's more expensive than the other facility. They have very nice facilities, but it was more than I wanted to spend. The staff was very good. The rooms are wonderful. They have a swimming pool, they have all kinds of activities, it's just a very open, inviting place. The food was excellent. The dining area was very good and nice."
