Southwest Mansions

I looked at Southwest Mansion's model room, which was great because it was all set up to be perfect. Then the other room that they took me through was not clean at all; it was not prepared for me to look at it. It was a 2-bedroom, and it was for a person to be in that room alone. The two bedroom windows were at the end of the facility, and the windows were directly in the open parking lot that anybody could park in. It was open to the public, and there's no fence there (no nothing). It's very scary for a single seventy five year old woman. I would not put my mother in a room with a big bedroom window being in a public parking lot. The room was filthy. There was a wall they hadn't patched up yet. They had me looking at it, and it had a big hole that they had patched with sheetrock. The kitchen floor was sticky, it hadn't been mopped yet. The counters were not clean. It looked like someone had just moved out of there. The biggest reason my mom didn't move there is because it's in the center of Tornado Alley, and they did not have a tornado storm shelter. Their staff was great, and they were really nice.

My mom is in an independent living called Southwest Mansions. The staff members are wonderful people. She's in a one-bedroom and it's perfect for her. It's got one big closet and room for all of her stuff. She also likes to play games with the ladies there. We used to visit and enjoy meals with her before the pandemic, and it was really good. I just think she got pretty bored with the food this last year. She has her own little back porch. Of course, her apartment has got help bars and all the things she needs. It's a really nice place. I think you have to be a special type of person to work with elderly people and this place seems to have a good choice of staff. They're all very caring and accommodating to the people living there. The activities are starting back up, they got things going on all the time like bingo. It's wonderful; they keep them busy.

My dad is in an independent living center. He is at Southwest Mansions. It's very nice. They're very well organized and very friendly there. They're very caring with him. They're very conscientious about all of their customers. They pay attention to their needs, and they keep them happy. The food is very good. They have a cook there. The amenities are very good. They have little celebrations for holidays; the residents love those. The activity rooms are very spacious. The residents go in there and they participate in the different activities. They have puzzles, sewing, and different games for the men.

We toured Southwest Mansions. We were very impressed with them, and we selected them out of the ones we looked at. Everybody was friendly, including the residents, they also seemed happy, and it was a good deal for the price. My parents are going to move there.

I have moved in to Southwest Mansions and I like it very much. It's really nice. I have met people who have lived here since it opened and they are very pleased with it still. I am happy with it too. The staff is very friendly and helpful ad they provide the services that I need, but they do not keep a nurse on-staff. The dining area is pleasant, and the food so far has been as good as it could be. They have bingo, card games, and outings where they take people to Wal-Mart or they eat out once or twice a week, but you pay for that yourself. The price is a little too high, but it is no higher than the others in the area.

Southwest Mansions is not gated, but it’s very private. There is plenty of parking, but of course, a lot of seniors don’t drive anymore. A really nice thing about them is there were 2 doors. There was a door into the hallway so you can go to the dining room and a door out to the back patio. They provide 2 meals a day -- breakfast and lunch. Most of the apartments were on a courtyard, and at the end of the courtyard was a wrought iron gate. It was gated that way. I looked at a 1-bedroom. The thing I did not like is that they did not have icemakers in the refrigerators. They didn’t have garbage disposal, which I didn’t care about. They also didn’t have a dishwasher, which I wouldn’t care about because for 1 meal a day, I’m not going to do a lot of cooking. But the ice-maker really bothered me. Also you could not put in your own refrigerator; you have to keep what they have. It was kind of small. I didn’t really care for the staff, but the lady that is over it was really nice. There was a little theater room and a big dining room. They would hold bingo and all kinds of things in there. They have limousines to take people shopping. They have the limousines to take people to doctor’s appointment in Northern Oklahoma City in the mornings and to the southside in the afternoons 2 days a week, so you would make your appointments accordingly to get a limousine.
