For families
The practical things families ask us about most, from visiting to staying in touch from far away.
- 01
Visiting
Come any time. The front door is open from six in the morning to ten at night, and the night nurse will let you in after that.
- 02
Staying in touch
Every resident's care team has a direct line. Video calls are set up in the library for anyone who wants help.
- 03
Care conferences
Families meet with Danielle and the care team every quarter in assisted living, and any time needs change.
- 04
Meals with Mom
Guest meals are welcome at lunch and supper. Sunday brunch is free for family when you call by Friday.
- 05
Moving day
Hannah plans the furniture, hangs the pictures and stays until the bed is made. You bring the boxes and the memories.
- 06
Families far away
We send a monthly photo letter and call after every doctor visit, so a daughter in Germany knows as much as a son in town.

Paying for the Ridge
Independent living is a monthly fee with no entrance fee. Assisted living is priced by level of care. Our business office walks every family through coverage before move-in.

VA Aid and Attendance
Wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need daily help may qualify for this monthly pension. We help gather the paperwork.

Good to know
Questions, answered
Is Cobblestone Ridge independent living or assisted living?
Both, on one campus. Most residents start in a cottage or apartment and stay independent for years. If more help is needed later, assisted living is in the Juniper wing down the hall, with the same dining room and the same friends.
Is there an entrance fee?
No. We rent month to month after a twelve-month lease, and there is a one-time community fee at move-in. Hannah will show you every number in writing.
How is assisted living priced?
By level of care. Our health services director does an assessment before move-in, and the monthly cost depends on how much daily help is needed. We review it with you every quarter and whenever needs change.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living?
No. Medicare does not cover room, board or personal care in assisted living. It still covers doctor visits, therapy and prescriptions as it would anywhere. Long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Oklahoma's Medicaid waiver program can help some families; our business office can walk you through each.
Can veterans get help paying?
Many can. Wartime veterans and surviving spouses who need help with daily activities may qualify for the VA Aid and Attendance pension. We help families gather the paperwork.
Can I bring my own furniture?
Please do. Every residence is unfurnished except the respite suite, and Hannah will sketch your floor plan with your pieces before moving day.
Are pets allowed?
One dog or cat per residence, with a fenced dog run behind the cottages and a staff member who loves a good dog more than most people.
What if I need a nurse at night?
A licensed nurse is on site seven days a week, and care staff are awake all night in assisted living. Every residence has emergency call buttons answered by our own team.
Do you offer short stays?
Yes. Our furnished respite suite is available for stays from a week to a few months, with meals and assisted living care included in a daily rate.
Can family stay for a meal?
Any time. Guest meals are a few dollars at lunch and supper, and Sunday brunch is on us when you book by Friday.
How far is the nearest hospital?
About fifteen minutes by car to the hospitals in central Lawton. Ambulance response to our address is usually under ten minutes.

Tours run six days a week and lunch is on us. Call, text or book online, and Annette or Hannah will meet you at the Commons.
