Chapter 01 — Honey Creek, Grove, OK

Assisted living on Grand Lake · Grove, Oklahoma

Mornings on the dock. Help whenever you want it.

Forty-four apartments on the Honey Creek arm of Grand Lake, with caregivers awake around the clock, a nurse who manages the medicines and a pontoon that goes out every Tuesday from May to October.

Chapter one

A lake house, with people looking out for you.

A lot of our residents spent their summers on Grand Lake: a cabin at Monkey Island, a boat slip at Har-Ber, a fish fry every Fourth. When the stairs and the yard and the night-time worries got to be too much, they didn't want to trade the water for a parking lot. Neither would we.

So Lakehaven is built the way a lake house should be: big windows, a long porch, a dock you can walk to with a rollator. Inside, it works like good assisted living. Caregivers help with bathing, dressing and medicines, someone is awake all night, and supper is on the table at five-thirty.

Sample family reviews

From families around Grand Lake

Dad kept his bass boat at Honey Creek for forty years. Now he walks to the dock every morning with his coffee and tells the young caregivers where the fish are.
Kelly W.Daughter of a resident
Mom was alone in her house on the lake and wouldn't admit how often she was falling. Here she still has the lake, and somebody checks on her at night.
Brian T.Son of a resident
I live in Dallas. The video tour sold me, but the first time I visited, Gail took me straight to the porch and I understood why Mom loves it.
Andrea M.Daughter of a resident
My husband is in a wheelchair now and they still get him on the pontoon every Tuesday. He looks forward to it all week.
Darlene P.Wife of a resident
Bethany caught that Mom's new prescription was making her dizzy before anyone else did. She called the doctor and had it changed in a day.
Rick H.Son of a resident
Friday catfish is as good as the place on the highway, and nobody has to drive.
Wanda L.Resident since 2022
They gave us the whole price on one page. A year and a half later, it's what we pay.
