Brookdale Chickasha

My mom will be moving into Brookdale Chickasha this week. We've chosen this place because it's the one closest to us. So, my mom will still be able to attend family functions with us a lot easier. We'll be able to see her more frequently because she's only 20 minutes away. The staff and everyone we met at Brookdale have been very informative, very caring, and very kind. We looked at all the rooms. We chose the largest one, which will still be an adjustment for my mom coming from her house, but it should be good when she kind of adapts. It's a one-bedroom apartment. It's got an area for sleeping, like for her bed. And then it's got a small living area, a bathroom, and a kitchenette.

Brookdale Chickasha was very nice. It was just relaxing and seemed friendly. The staff was nice and no pressure. The room was nice and small, but it didn't need to be big. The dining area looked fine. They have an exercise program, places to go, and some other things. They have a bus that takes you to different places if you can or you want to do that. It was just a little farther from me to get over there.

My mom is in Brookdale Chickasha. The staff is very caring and wonderful. My mom ditched me for some of the people in the community because she wanted to go talk to her new friends. She's like, "You can hang out if you want. I'm going to go talk to my friends." And so that was pretty cool. That tells me how happy she is. I guess most or all of them now have a restaurant-style cafeteria where they can sit and order from a menu. My mom has Alzheimer's, so she told me the food was amazing. I asked her what she had for dinner, and she said she didn't remember. She just remembered that it was good. So, she loves the meals. They come to get them for each meal, they clean their room, and launder their clothes and sheets. They have a salon onsite where they can go in and get their hair done and shampoo. They have a big massaging walk-in tub so they can go take a bath if they want to. They had libraries, TV rooms, game rooms, and living rooms. Brookdale was my second choice and looking around this was the more affordable choice. My first choice was well out of my price range. It is beautiful. My mom keeps the window open so she can see the courtyard. They have field trips, they play games with them, and do all kinds of stuff. I am supposed to be signing a permission slip today for a trip, but I don't know when or where that is. I am going to find out. I think it's a really good value. I don't have any complaints. They're steps above and beyond.

My mother is currently in Brookdale Chickasha. She wants to go home, but she's doing OK there. She's in quarantine right now, so she's not getting out. They are all very friendly and nice. The staff talks to me. She gets her meals, and she'll have activities once she gets out of quarantine. It's very clean and very nice. I know they have a beauty shop, but I'm not real sure what all they got.

The lighting at Brookdale Chickasha was pretty dark, and there didn't seem to be much activity. A lot of people were just sitting around in the seated areas, not really visiting or talking. There was nothing happening. The rooms were adequate with the standard kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom, and closet. I did not see a list of activities and I did not see anyone doing activities. The dining area was upfront as you walk in the door, and everything was just really dark. It's not well lit at all, and it wasn't inviting.

My father moved into Brookdale Chickasha. So far I have no complaints, they're great. It's really nice, they have a courtyard that you can't get out of, but it's really nice, they can go outside, without getting out of the facility. The staff is wonderful, they have activities pretty much every day, like bingo, but he does not take advantage of it all the time, since he tends to like his TV. They have gardening in their little courtyard,and they have parties all the time.
