Independent Living Communities in Yukon, OK

"I am now living here. It is really good. I get all my meals. They have good food service and good transportation to medical appointments. We have washers and dryers in our apartments. We have social activities. Every month, we have a birthday party celebrating all the birthdays in the month. We have entertainers that come in. We have trivia challenges and wheel of fortune, on Mondays we have quarter bingo, and on Thursdays it is bingo for prizes. The only thing that they need to do is to run their transportations on Sunday so people can go to church, but there is a Baptist minister that comes in. They have security cameras here."

"We looked at Spanish Cove Retirement Village. We were considering it, but I don't think it's for us. One thing we have to get used to would be the cramped spaces. It would be quite a transition. It would just take some getting used to, and that's not a complaint, it's just an observation. The apartments alone like maybe 700 to 800 square feet. They were friendly, nice, and cooperative. The tour was good. The staff was very friendly. Her knowledge of the product, how it worked, and logistics of it were well explained to us. She did a nice job there. They have it all. They have a pool, a small library, a gathering place, and entertainment at times. They have an indoor pool, so you can do it year-round."

"Several years ago we found a place called Savannah House of Yukon, and more recently we were just looking around to see what else was available. It’s a nice place and we have been here for two years. The place is convenient for shopping and travel. The people were very nice, all over 65 or 62, everyone mostly is retired. The surroundings were residential, the apartment is very nice -- two bedrooms and two baths. The people seemed to be very nice, there are some activities, but there is no activity director. "

"I toured Belmont Cove. The thing I liked least about it was the backyard, which was pretty much nonexistent, and I had a 100 pound dog that I would not do that to. The rest of the place is very nice and very open. I really liked that. The staff made themselves available, and that's about it. I toured it independently. There were three apartments we got to look out for. I know that they had a big clubhouse, but they said they had someone come in and do their hair and nails and stuff like that."

"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 visited Baptist Village of Oklahoma City's assisted living for my parents. My mom has been a Southern Baptist all her life and they have that church in the building that she can go to. She could just walk down the hall. I like that all of the bills and all of the charged things are included so there are no additional charges for treatments or whatever else. It's all just in one bill so that's just more convenient. The staff were great. The facilities looked clean and the structure looked fine. Nothing looked like it had issues. I would say the rooms are comparable to the other facilities we saw online. The one that we're getting is 543 square feet and it's a 1-bedroom. The place's atmosphere seemed very loving and caring to me."

"I have lived here for several years .The first couple everyone hated it here .However things change and my home has began evolving into a place I'm happy to live at .The attitude of the management towards the residents has improved so much .The positive energy is beginning to heal hearts and quiet discontentment.and I expect this change to continue to improve."

"Saint Ann Retirement Center was wonderful, it's very very high quality. It's fantastic and it has a whole scale, although for skilled nursing you go into a different facility with them. I saw their assisted living and independent living, and both of them were good. They're a little more segregated than the other place I saw, but in any case, it's a beautiful facility and it's just wonderful. They were very, very comparable there especially compared to many other places I've visited around town. There were still staff members that were there when 5-6 years ago, so they've got a long-time dedicated staff. They're very fine people. It's very top quality, very clean, very orderly, and the people are well attended. They have little patio areas where you can plant flowers and be outside, and that's a shared area. The access to the outside is controlled."

"Hefner Mansions is wonderful. It is a very convenient distance from my house; it is only ten minutes from where I live. The facilities are just wonderful. It has a new concept. The room is wonderful and perfect. We have a caregiver with her, and my mother is able to fit everything she wants to bring and she still has room. All rooms are accessible from the outside and inside. The have like wings all the way around. It is just perfect. They are all very well done. It is independent, but they have bells in every room. It is like a basic apartment with all the amenities. It is all on the ground level, and it is very nice. They have a cafeteria and an exercise room. For people who have decent retirement, it is affordable. "

"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."

"My friend is in Paradise Square. The place is very nice. We chose it because it is convenient. However, they do not really have anything for retirees. It is just a place to live more or less. They have a clubhouse that they can use which is nice, but as far as activities and anything, there are none here at this place. They have small apartments with attached garage -- which is very nice -- and they are very roomy. They take care of their own yards, which is very nice. I will recommend them to others. "

"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 went to Acclaim Living. The lady there showed me a one-bedroom with one-bath, and two bedrooms with two baths and it's very impressive. I was pleased with it. I think it's superb and very nice. The place was roomy and very big everywhere. The entertainment room, the kitchen, and the dining area all looked nice and clean. Then the lady told me about the rate and it was not bad at all. It's acceptable. So I was very pleased with everything I saw. The only thing about me looking for places is that I don't like to eat American food to this day. I have my own food. I eat organic food and healthy food and I don't want to gain weight. I eat Asian food because I am Asian and then the American food to this day is just not appealing to me. I asked, "Can I live in here without picking the food option?" And they said "No." I don't have to eat, but I still have to pay. So that's the only drawback. The staff was very nice. There are only a couple of people that I'm talking to, the receptionist and then the activity director who showed me around. They have a cooking class, and all of the people are very friendly and nice."
