Sample family reviews
In their words
We started at Owasso and moved to Bixby to be near our daughter. Same contract, same kind of people, new friends by the end of the week.
I watch the sun go down over the goldenrod meadow every evening from my porch. Forty years of farming and I never had time to.
When Mama moved to Goldenrod Cottage, Daddy walked over every afternoon with a picnic basket. The staff set out a blanket for them.
Dad's savings ran out after a long illness. The benevolence fund meant he never had to leave.
My knee rehab was in the Health Center, and my wife walked over from our cottage twice a day.
They explained both contracts at our kitchen table and gave us everything in writing.
The nurses call us in Dallas after every care meeting. We always know how Mom is.
I do tai chi on the lawn at eight and swim at ten. My doctor says keep doing whatever I'm doing.
The Fourth of July picnic is the best party in Owasso. I'm on the flag committee.
I moved to Claremore to be near my grandkids. They come for lunch in the café every Saturday.
Chef Antoine's Sunday pot roast is the reason my brother visits.
Daddy's last weeks were in the Health Center with the window open to the meadow and the chaplain by his side. It was gentle.
The light's best around four. Come see it.
