Memory Care Community in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Right now, we're in a COVID lockdown here. I'm with my dad 24/7. Because he is recovering from major surgery, he would not be able to be totally independent right now. It's wonderful, it's friendly, it's caring, and it's clean. They go out of their way to provide individual needs as well as group needs. We have not seen the full program because we're all in lockdown right now. We see each other only through the doorway occasionally. Food is delivered, but they have taken every step to make sure that the residents are well fed, well cared for and have all that they need, and I appreciate that. Being that we have not been here during the normal routine, everything is on hold, there's no recreation or anything going on right now. The food is very good here and they have good variety. I'm going to say 4 (rating) for food just because we're not getting the full menu stuff, which is supposed to be wonderful. It's door-to-door delivery food right now. It's independent; they're in their own apartments. The residents can come and go if they want. They have a laundry facility where the laundry can be done, but they want you to be as independent as you want to be. All the residents have pets here which is wonderful. My dad has a cat. They have places to walk them. It is all wooded. That was one of the reasons that we came to look at this facility because it was wooded. It wasn't in the city, it didn't have all the city sound, and it has squirrels and trees. That's one of the things that we like about it. My dad is in independent living. We are going to take advantage of his also being a veteran. He is in for a pretty lengthy recovery time. We have physical therapy, speech, and occupational therapy provided by the facility. They're coming in two to three days a week. They're going to start next week. Because he is a veteran, they will also provide daily assisted living care, so someone can come in and help him with showers and to get dressed in the morning. He is 92, so things are a little difficult especially with the broken leg and a broken hip. They provide that; I didn't have to go out looking for people. They provide that if you have the right circumstances with which you can pay or if you just want to pay out of pocket.

It was excellent. The rooms weren't as nice as the other place. It was smaller, and the wood cabinets and countertops were not as good quality. The staff was excellent and friendly. I saw the residents eating lunch in the dining room, it was not as nice, and it was crowded, but the food was very good.

Prairie House Assisted Living and Memory Care was a large facility, but it's very nice and looked clean. They only had a studio available, and we were looking for one-bedroom. The person during the visit was very good, very informative, and very nice. It's brand new, too.

My mom is staying at Forest Hills and it's been good. My only complaint is a smooth transition between all of the shifts, but they do a good job of caring for her. She's very happy there. The main thing that my mother liked about the idea of doing the assisted living there was that the rooms were huge. I just don't think the food is very good. They always try hard with activities. They have good medical people there all the time as well as therapists.

My mother went to Franciscan Villa in Broken Arrow after a lengthy stay in the hospital. The new administration and team have been so wonderful! She stayed in this facility last year and we came back after she needed therapy services again after a fall at home. They are kind, caring and have a passion for what they do! I would highly recommend this facility and the care their staff provide. She was able to go home after getting her strength back.
