Countryside, LTC

Azaleas is where I would put my love one when that time comes. Which I know can be sooner or later. I have engaged with the staffing and they do show they care. I have seen them in action many many many many times and never was disappointed. I am so glad Azaleas is in a centralized area and easy to travel to and from. Each discipline deserves a chance to care for your love one. They do bend over backwards for their residents. They also have a fantastic hospice company(Elara) that goes and cares for the residents that's on service. I can sit and type all day about the awesome Azaleas Memory Care. But acourse there isn't enough space here to do so.

We really like that the people really put an emphasis on putting a face to a nice. The food would be an area to work on - might be a bit of both the variety as well as the quality of the meals. Our loved one is not a big fan of it.

Mom my is so happy here at Belfair of McAlester! She didn't even think she wanted to move to assisted living, but this place sold her on it!

I would highly recommend Azailla Gardens to anyone looking for a safe ! Clean ! And Happy place for your loved ones . We have had a family member living the best years of his life there now , the team members and care givers go above and beyond giving , I truly believe they love and care for the residents the way I would …. All members of the facility are amazing ! Extra cudos to the Ones that go above and beyond care and love for her Friends and residents !

Azalea Gardens seemed to be a top notch facility. The staff were all very friendly and caring. Since it is strictly memory care, the residents we saw seemed to need more care than mom does. Mom is more alert, so we went with an assisted living facility instead so she could socialize.

We were not here very long, but It was a very nice facility and we had no issues with it. I thought it was a little expensive and once the new year hit the prices went up again. We chose this facility in the beginning because I went by there and liked it, when my friend came to visit she also really liked it. Her one complaint was that the residents in here were much older than her and she is 75, so it is an older crowd. I thought it would be closer to me, but once I had to make the trips everyday I realized it was a pretty long distance. When something would happen or there were any concerns, they were always very good about calling me.

We are getting settled in and things are going fine now. The staff here is great and they have tried to make the adjustment as easy as possible. The facility is clean and seems well maintained. The other residents are very nice too.

The only thing they could improve is to have someone available to let you in and out of the door when visiting. This seems to be an ongoing issue. The food seems to be really good.

It's smaller than the one we were at in Broken Arrow. The rooms are still nice and spacious. They are working very hard to make her comfortable and happy. One thing I really like is that even though she is in memory care, she is high functioning and since the assisted living and memory care is combined, higher functioning residents are still able to join in for the field trips that they have here. So far we have been pretty happy with it, but it hasn't been very long yet.

My loved one hasn't been here long, but so far they've done a great job. I'd give them a 5 overall.

I met with Leslie from Heritage who spent almost 2 hours with me explaining what Heritage has to offer my Father. I was very impressed with both Heritage and Leslie. She answered every question fully and thoughtfully, and gave me all the time I needed to absorb the information and for questions I had. I enjoyed the tour and feel, should we choose Heritage, my Father would be both comfortable and welcome.

I went to Brook dale to see the Manager in regards to a personal matter. I was greeted and taken to her office. I spoke with [removed] , she was very kind and helpful. The overall atmosphere was very warm and inviting. The patients were all in the dining room waiting for dinner, they were all dressed and looked very happy. I felt very at home and at peace with the facility. I would highly recommend this facility to my family and friends.

Mom seems to like the food at this community and they offer a good variety of choices. The staff are nice and mom likes them. They offer daily activities and the staff encourage the residents to participate. The community is clean and this is one of the main reasons we chose this Brookdale. I would recommend this community.

Countryside in Tahlequah is under new ownership and we are very satisfied with her care. Standard of Care that other facilities need to obtain. NICE. Nice facility inside and out, Nice caregivers. Nice food selection and Nice smell which is refreshing when you have visited other care facilities.

New owners, new administrators, great head nurse and a fantastic staff! #1 is they care, from the activity engagement to health care! They interact with every resident and fully support family visits, any time!

We are no longer there as of earlier this year, but the biggest thing that bothers me about ANY facility like Azalea Gardens is the smell. I understand it is most difficult to stay on top of but it was really overpowering at times.

What our family likes the most about Belfair of McAlester is the friendliness of the staff and their interactions with the residents. Based on the experience we have had with Belfair, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

I like the facility and it's kept clean, but the housekeeping staff didn't keep the bathroom clean and didn't sweep under the beds. The staff were very friendly, but it seemed they were understaffed. When visiting my mom once, a man fell in the dining area and we couldn't find anyone to help. My brother wound up picking him up. I found someone in the office who called for help. All 3 women working that day were outside smoking. I was upset about that. If they want to smoke, fine but not all at the same time. Someone has to be with the patients. Also, my sister had made payment arrangements to be automatically paid each month, but they billed her for 3 months, $12k, which overdrew her account and it took months to figure it out. In the meantime, they continued to bill her monthly. Additionally, the extra fees for toilet paper, shampoo, activities etc wasn't clearly explained. We thought basics, like toilet paper, were part of the monthly cost. I would recommend it only because it is so much less costly than other places, and some people, like us, simply don't have the resources for another facility.

What we really like about Azalea Gardens is that the staff were very attentive and willing to go above and beyond for our loved one. Based on the experience we have had so far we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

It is a very good place for our loved one. Lots of activities and friendly staff. I feel like the week day staff does a good job. Good communication with them. I have not been a big fan of the weekend staff. Far less knowledgeable and less friendly. It is a place I would recommend if their loved one needed memory care. It was not our first choice but has been an overall good experience.
