The Best Independent Living Communities in Oklahoma County, OK

"Grace Pointe is an awesome place, but I might need more of an assisted living type thing. For people who are healthy and can get around, it was a wonderful place. They didn't have food. They have a brunch- type thing in the mornings. The rest of it is kind of up to you and they have potlucks there. It's clean and nice. The rooms were nice. I didn't pick up any kind of smell, and they were big and kind of roomy for what you were getting. They furnished the cable and the wi-fi and I think the electric stuff was all paid. The woman who assisted us had a golf cart and told us we could ride on that with her. She was personable and pretty much explained everything. I did get a call from them, though, after I saw them, and they told me that they didn't do assisted living in any shape or form. They have storm shelters, and it's a locked community and it's just apartments with people over 55. For what they are, they're pretty nice."

"Laurel Springs Retirement was beautiful. Had the price been within our range, we would have loved it. They looked good. They had a nice looking safe room for storms. The staff who gave the tour was awesome. The building was beautiful. It was clean and smelled good. It was pretty. They had a nice physical therapy area. The dining area was pretty, too. It was nice, clean and cozy. There was a fireplace in the community area that they could have on. The rooms were nice. They had one small room. It was the cheapest room, and it didn't have a window, so that was something that we were not interested in. But the other rooms that we saw were nice and spacious. The facility was well-kept. It was locked so that the clients inside were safe. It was a beautiful area."

"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."

"I went to look at Acclaim Living. The tour gal was great. The tour was fine until we got to the apartment. They were small. They didn't have central heat. The kitchen didn't have a stove. The dining area was pleasant. The entrance lobby was magnificent. It was kept up, polished, clean, and very beautiful."

"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."

"My mother is in St. Ann Retirement Center. The facility and the staff are both nice. The food is good. The accommodation is excellent and they have round the clock security. My mom likes it a lot and I will recommend them to others. "

"My parents are moving into Epworth Villa. We toured it last year, we did not tour the dining area, but they have three dining options; one that is like more of a cafe type where you can get sandwiches and stuff, they have another one that is more like it has a menu and daily specials, but it has like other menu options, so it's a sit-down and a more casual dining type thing, and then they have a dining room that's only open three days a week; more of like the white tablecloths, steak, lobster type."

"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."

"I appreciated Tealridge here in Edmond because of its location and its availability. It is near my family. The staff treated us very nicely, and they are very helpful. It is just very nicely laid out. It is clean, bright, homey, and cheerful. "

"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. "
