The Best Senior Living Communities in Yukon, OK

"I toured The Mansion at Waterford. It was very, very clean. Everyone seemed very nice and it was secure. I liked the room I saw. I liked everything I saw. The only thing I was concerned about was that there was no access for them to go outside except for a little bitty courtyard. I would have preferred the memory care patients a little bit bigger area for them to go outside, but everything else was beautiful. I thought that was a very nice place. I didn't see anything I didn't like there. The staff was great. She told me everything and gave me some suggestions. She's very helpful. She listened to me rattle on about all my issues. She showed me around and all of those things. I know they have a beauty salon. The people could go out into a little courtyard, a little garden, and work in a little raised garden."

"Elison Independent Living of Statesman Club was very nice. The staff was great. The apartments were all right. They weren't as large as I had hoped, but they were okay. The facility was well kept up. The dining area was nice. They have all kinds of activities. The reason I rule them out is because I have a dog, and there is a fee to bring a dog in. I realized that their fee was higher than the other places."

"The facilities were very clean. It met all the expectations that we had. It was a beautiful setting. It was large and spacious. They had good physical therapy. The exercise room was well equipped. The dining area was clean, spacious, and very well organized. The staff members were very friendly, cordial, and eager to help."

"We visited Acclaim Living. I like the personnel. We were greeted when we first got there. My husband said, "Oh, look at this." There was a picture frame with my name on it, and it said, "Welcome. Could you come and take a visit?" It was very personalized. We even arrived early, and she accommodated us because we were almost 30 minutes early. The coordinator, Donna, was the one giving us the information about the facility. I liked her. She's very accommodating. She's a very personable person. They had a lot of outdoor spaces you could go to. I don't smoke, but they accommodate smokers. They are pet-friendly. They have a lot of space where your dogs can go out and tour the grass, and have fun outside. We drove around it, and there was lots of space for her and the other pets, if they had any, that would be guarded against being hurt. It's all fenced in, so you wouldn't have to worry about that, and that was a big plus for me."

"They were having lunch when we visited Legend at Jefferson's Garden with a couple of the different residents. They all recommended it. They all said they were happy there. The dining area setup seemed a little dim to me. I'd like to see more lighting or brighter, cheerier decor. It seemed just a little bit dark. It's just my personal preference. I prefer light and airy. As other people get older they need brighter lighting to see good."

"The Village at Oakwood looked clean. The manager was very nice and helpful. Each person had their own room. They offered a wide menu. They had some other services, like they had someone who would come in once a week and do hair. The place looked nice and clean. Everything was painted. Everything seemed to be well taken care of. The dining room was very nice. There were a lot of tables there, and because the tenants had walkers and wheelchairs, there was room for them to get around. It looked very nice."

"I was impressed with Morada Southridge. I think we're going to send my father to that one. The residents all seemed happy. The staff introduced themselves and asked if I had any questions for them. It was just a very nice, very well put-together facility. It was very clean and the way it was set out, if he wanders at night, he only has a square to go around. The rooms were very well put together and laid out nicely. The bathrooms were big enough and had handicap grab bars in them. They all had a little refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffeemaker in each room. I was told that they have beverages and snacks at all times of the day."

"I went to Brookdale Oklahoma City Southwest. I like everything about it. It was very clean and very well-run. I didn't like the price. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The facility was clean and it smelled good. They have a courtyard. It looked pretty with greenery and flowers out there."

"My mom is in the memory care there. It's excellent. The care is wonderful. The food is very good. The CNAs and the help are very loving and caring. I can't give examples of their activities. My mom is not where she can engage in any activities in memory care. The rooms are very nice and very comfortable. It's really a very elegant facility. They have a salon. They don't have a chapel. The memory care does have an arts and craft room and of course living room with TV."

"Silver Elm Estates was the last one I visited. It's close to my daughter and grandkids. The kids could walk to and from their house, and I was impressed with that. I like the location. I like the apartments. The prices were even a lot better than some of the others. Their dining room was nice. The staff was excellent. I like everything about it. Everyone I met was nice. And their facility was nice, too. If you didn't have a unit outside, their inside units were all attached. You could walk in through the hall, but they all had a back door that led to a courtyard, and that was nice. I like that."

"The Legend of Edmond was bright and cheerful. I looked at their assisted living for my mom. It has lots of activities and good care. The negative would probably be that it's a little on the pricier side. During the tour, they gave me a dessert, and it was very good. There were all kinds of activity rooms, work facilities, facilities for physical therapy, a library, and lots of little places to sit and visit. It's just very well laid out."

"The Village on the Park - Oklahoma City was very nice. From walking in the front door to walking out when we left, everything was wonderful. The people were wonderful. The two ladies who showed us around were wonderful in answering every question we had. The place was decorated to the nines for Christmas, not just in the lobby, but throughout the whole place. All of the people that we met, from the servers in the dining room to the people who take care of the maintenance, were very helpful in answering all our questions. The food was fine. It wasn't fine dining, but it was fine. The rooms that we looked at were adequate. We like their two-bedroom cottage very, very much. The Village on the Park would be one that will be on the top of our list."

"We were looking for a facility that would accommodate my 93 year old mother. She is capable of independent living now but the trend is such that we will probably need Assisted and Memory in the future. Legend met those needs; we were very impressed. The ambiance as well as the services offered. We have looked at multiple facilities and would put Legend on a very short list of top-rated locations. A very short list."

"I fell in love with Lyndale Edmond. They had a two-bedroom-two-bath cottage, and it was perfect for what we were looking for. My friends and I are planning on coming back to Lyndale Edmond and scheduling another visit because I think that's what we want to live. There's a beautiful lake in front of the independent living, and so when I look out my front door there's a beautiful view of a lake, and so I loved that. The cottage was well-kept, clean, and very large, and it had all the amenities that we needed. It had a full kitchen. And it was exactly in the price range that we wanted. They were very helpful because they had never run across someone who wanted to move in three people (meaning a couple and a caregiver), and so they're working with us to try to find out how much it would be extra for a third person. They have been very accommodating. I enjoyed the tour that I took. I also toured the inside of the living areas. They have balconies, which is something that I want if I couldn't afford a cottage. They have a swimming pool and a clubhouse that you could use any time. They have a private dining area so that you and your family can go and have private dining if you want to. They have a barber shop and a beauty shop where you can get your nails done. They also have a game room and a pool table. They have ping-pong tables outside in the common areas. I love this place, that's where I want to live."
