3 Continuing Care Communities in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Linda

My husband and I will be moving into Village on the Park - Oklahoma City. They're very friendly, welcoming, and I think it will be a successful living condition for us. The staff was very nice. The client representative was excellent, and the director was very friendly and considerate of what we might need. The apartment was just under 300 square feet, so for two people it's small, but it's livable. We're moving into independent living, but my husband will be moving into assisted living when that's available. They have a library, courtyards, a nice park across the street, a small exercise room, and an exercise activity three days a week. There's a canasta group that they're starting, which I love because I play canasta. Three meals a day for both of us will be advantageous, and a medical facility is available for us as needed. Housekeeping once a week is included, which includes washing the sheets. I would need to do the rest of the laundry, but they have laundry facilities there for no charge. They have eight or ten washers and dryers; you just go and help yourself. I met three staff members, and they were very nice, competent, and very knowledgeable.

Concerned relative

We have a relative that is being referred to the memory care unit. We toured the memory care unit at the mansion. It smelled bad the moment the door was opened. The floors, walls and rooms were filthy with damages and filth on walls and floors. The meal was presented in a very unappetizing fashion. The staff looked unkept and unprofessional. For the amount these patients pay for their care, there is no excuse for the lack of dignity offered to them. Our hearts are heavy after viewing what these elders are enduring.

My brother is now at Legend at Rivendell. It is very impressive. The staff is very friendly. I know all of them. They have my number and they text me all the time. They send me pictures of my brother and tell me how he is doing. I couldn't have found a better place. They have different activities set up. They also have things set up where they go places once a week. They have in-house doctors and an in-house nursing staff. It is just a really good place. It is fully staffed too. The dining area is like a four-star restaurant. The place doesn't even remind you of a facility, and my brother has an apartment with a living room and a bedroom. They do a lot of activities. The activities director is a young guy who is very spirited. He really gets involved with the people.

The rooms that I saw there were very nice, the place itself is also very nice, and it has a pool. Their grounds ae very nice and there's a pond that you can go fishing on if you want to. It's also located in a nice part of town. They also have activities like outings, games like bingo, and whatnot. I only met one lady. She was a resident who also lived there, but she was also showing people the apartments. It was a toss up between this place and the one I'm currently in. The thing that got me to pick the other one was the size of the room and the location. The layout was nice and the facilities were nice. Each apartment had a storage facility where the residents can put their Christmas decorations or seasonal stuff.

My mother moved into the Mansion at Waterford. It was hard getting started, but it's getting better day by day. She likes having access to more activities. I think she's settling in nicely, although there were some rough edges at first. The room is wonderful, and they totally renovated it to her liking before she moved in there. It's very bright and cheerful. They have more than enough activities for her, including transportation to and from Walmart, and to her doctors' appointments.
