Known for its wide-open landscape and distinctive red dirt, Oklahoma is an ideal retirement destination for seniors looking for a calming, relatively inexpensive lifestyle. The Sooner State’s two largest cities, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, grew during the oil booms of the early 1900s and today feature popular art museums, zoos, and botanical gardens. On Route 66, which crosses almost the entirety of the state from east to west, travelers can catch a glimpse of the Old West while stopping at old-fashioned restaurants and roadside attractions.
There are more than 60 nursing homes in Oklahoma. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can provide you with a list of nursing homes in Oklahoma to help you find the community that fits your needs and budget.
The median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home in Oklahoma is about $5,600, according to Genworth.

What we like the most about the community is that it was clean and did not have a smell. I would recommend Legend Assisted Living at Rivendell to other families based on the experience so far.

The staff was absolutely great. Best we experienced in being at 4 different assisted living spaces. Food was good enough. Hospice services were amazing.
I don't think they have an Exec Director and haven't for several months. Plumbing issues took a month to be resolved but not the maintenance folks fault as they had to order parts on their own credit cards...

The staff at Sooner Station is kind, caring, and gentle. The food at Sooner Station is wonderful. My mom and dad love that they have an apartment not just one room.
The staff seemed to genuinely care about our Mom and how she was doing. They worked to get to know her and her particular needs. The director was very attentive to our concerns and responded promptly to...
