Overview of Baptist Village of Oklahoma City

On Mashburn Boulevard in Oklahoma City’s Oklahoma County, Baptist Village of Oklahoma City operates one of the full-care continuums in the city’s nursing home market. Run by Baptist Village Communities and administered by Pamela Brooks, the campus at 9700 Mashburn Boulevard spans nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory support, and home care services in one location. That range means a resident moving from short-term rehab into longer-term care, or from assisted to memory support, does not have to change addresses.

The neighborhood scores a 71 on the Walk Score scale, which is genuinely walkable by Oklahoma senior living standards, where most facilities sit well below that threshold. Among the assisted living beds, 35 of 50 are currently occupied (70%). The average length of stay is 56 days, which signals that much of the facility’s volume is short-term rehabilitation rather than permanent placement.

Staffing numbers are the headline data point here. Total nursing care reaches 7 hours and 4 minutes per resident per day; registered nurses contribute 29 minutes of that per resident per day. On-site rehabilitation services, memory support, and a program called Enhanced Life round out the care offerings. Religious services are available as well.

Inspections by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Protective Health Services, have tended to center on medication management, staffing, and staff credentials, and resident rights and protections.

The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For families weighing a short-term rehab stay that may extend into longer-term care, the combination of staffing depth, full payer acceptance, and a genuine care continuum under one roof positions Baptist Village of Oklahoma City as a substantive option in the northwest Oklahoma City market.

Overview of Oxford Springs Tulsa Al

Oxford Springs sits at 8231 South Mingo Road in south Tulsa, Tulsa County. It’s about 9.6 miles from the city center, in a neighborhood with a Walk Score of 64 where some errands are walkable but most still call for a car. Oxford OK Lessee, LLC operates the 43-bed community under administrator Michelle Netters. The care model spans assisted living, independent living, and memory care.

At 81% occupancy, 35 of the 43 beds are currently filled, which is a solid utilization rate for a smaller community. Staffing runs around the clock through licensed nurses and CNAs, and the community accepts respite stays for families who need short-term coverage.

State inspections have historically touched on environmental and hazardous-materials safety, dietary and food service, and fall and injury prevention. That is a mix that reflects both physical plant and care-process oversight areas.

The community is private pay only; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted. Oxford Springs is a staffed, multi-care-level option in south Tulsa for self-funding residents who need assisted living, independent living, or memory care with licensed nursing coverage available at all hours.

Overview of Grandwood Assisted Living, Lc

Grandwood Assisted Living, Lc occupies a 90-bed footprint on Sunrise Boulevard in Grove, Delaware County, a northeast Oklahoma town on Grand Lake. Roxanne Fanning is the administrator. Care options span assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite stays, with the Focus Care program rounding out the clinical offerings. Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.

Seventy of the 90 beds are currently occupied, a 78% rate. Residents live in private apartments, with weekly housekeeping, free laundry, basic cable, and all utilities except personal phone covered in the cost. Meals run three times a day with two rounds of snack options, served in a large dining room. A beauty salon and barber, library, computer access, activity center, card and game areas, and garden spaces are all on-site.

Complimentary scheduled transportation is available for off-campus trips. Nursing services and rehabilitation are provided alongside 24-hour staffing coverage.

The Walk Score of 56 puts the area in moderately walkable territory; that is reasonable for a lakeside Oklahoma town, with some services reachable on foot.

State inspections have centered on areas including medication management, care planning and documentation, staffing and staff credentials, dietary and food service, and environmental and hazardous-materials safety.

Grandwood offers a broad care range and a notably inclusive amenity package for a private-pay community in a small Oklahoma market; the 78% occupancy and multi-care-level model make it a practical option for families who want a single community that can accommodate a resident’s changing needs over time.

Overview of Sooner Station at University North Park

Sooner Station at University North Park occupies a car-dependent stretch of northwest Norman, Oklahoma, about 2.9 miles from the city center in Cleveland County. The address is 2803 24th Avenue NW. Norman Senior Living, LLC operates the 100-bed community under administrator Michael Dean, and the three care tracks on offer give it a wider range than most single-purpose communities in the area.

At 92% occupancy, the building is nearly full. That’s a practical signal: the community is drawing consistent demand across its care levels, and available units may be limited at any given time. Apartments run from studios to two-bedroom layouts.

The three care tracks on offer are assisted living, independent living, and memory care. Independent living units come with full kitchens; assisted living units have kitchenettes. Two named programs are built into the community: SHINE® Memory Care for residents with cognitive impairment, and a Military Veterans Program for qualifying residents.

There’s a courtyard pool, fitness center, walking trails, meditation garden, activity and club rooms, an education and training center, a full-service salon, and an on-site masseuse. Al fresco dining and bistros supplement the main dining room, where meals are chef-prepared. Scheduled transportation is available, and the community is pet-friendly.

Sooner Station runs on private pay only; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted. The community suits independently minded older adults and memory care residents who can self-fund and want a broad on-site amenity base without leaving Norman.

Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, giving couples and individuals a few ways to match their space and budget. Daily life centers on an active calendar that includes movie nights, outings to local restaurants, volunteering with area charities, and group games and wellness programs.

The memory care program is built for residents living with Alzheimer’s or dementia, pairing a secure environment with specialized support that includes medication management. The stated emphasis is on dignity, independence, choice, and comfort, which points to a care approach that tries to preserve day-to-day autonomy while keeping residents safe.

State inspections by the Oklahoma State Department of Health have generally centered on documentation practices and infection-control routines rather than concerns with hands-on resident care, with cited issues resolved through accepted plans of correction. Families touring the community can ask how those areas are handled day to day.

The neighborhood scores 40 out of 100 for walkability, so a few errands may be reachable on foot while most trips will involve a short drive. Its location off NE 140th Street keeps it convenient for family in the greater Edmond and Oklahoma City area to visit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Independent Living in Oklahoma

What is independent living?

Independent living communities are residential settings for active older adults — typically with private apartments or cottages, shared amenities (dining, fitness, activities), and no built-in medical care.

How many independent living communities are listed on this page?

This page features 79 independent living communities in Oklahoma. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right independent living community in Oklahoma?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Oklahoma, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting independent living communities in Oklahoma?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
