Independent Living Communities in Stillwater, OK

"I visited Legacy Village of Stillwater. Everything was fine. I got to go see one of their one-bedroom apartments, and that was good. I just asked a few questions and the staff answered them and that was pretty much it. I looked at the menu, but I didn't try any food. I've seen people in the dining room that were eating. There were different sets of tables in there. They showed me where they play cards and games and different things, but there weren't any people in them. The atmosphere seemed friendly enough to me. The facility looked good."

"I visited this nursing home along with several others and I found this home was more my style than the others. First, I found the people operating the facility were kind and as I talked with the lady in charge I found that her mother and fother had started the home and it is still being run by them after about 30 years. I fould the rooms to be large and person friendly. As with other homes they had micro waves in kitchenettes, a living room and large bedroom. There was plenty of relaxing space outside of the room and entertainment although I didn't actually see any at the time I was there. The eating area was very large with individual round tables to seat four. I really liked the way you got your food. They set up a line of food and you could take what you wanted rather then eating what they wanted you to. If you are still driving there is plenty of room for your car right outside the side door and you can come and go as you please. Of course the door is locked but you have a key! Another thing I like was the area where the home is located. It is at the edge of an area with a number of nice homes and has a lot of trees around it. In the center of the home is a large open space with flowers, trees and etc. and makes a lovely place to relax. Personally I'm not ready for a nurssing home but when I am this is the one Ill go to.

"I have chosen the Primrose Retirement Community of Stillwater. Friends of mine are already there, so that helped. I traveled down to visit it, and it's very homey. The upkeep was excellent, but it doesn't feel so formal that it feels like a hotel. It felt like home. There are lots of activities and they are quick to include me and also the price was closer to what I needed. I told the person I was interviewing that I did a lot of reading and that I was a musician, so she jumped on that. She said there's a book club and they were trying to organize an in-house choir and I was a choir director for several years. She got very excited and so did I. I'm not so much of a bingo person, but reading and music were wonderful. I chose a two-bedroom. The second bedroom was small, and it's exactly what I wanted. It's on the second floor, but there's an elevator. There's a full kitchen and a balcony. They have a cleaning service every other week, and they provide a noon meal."
