When I help a senior real estate client or their caregiver family in Oklahoma City or Edmond sell a house and prepare for the older adult's move to new housing, it's my job as a Certified Senior Housing Professional to help them find the proper senior housing and prepare for all contingencies - financial, logistical, and otherwise.
So, of course, I stay up-to-date on the many different senior retirement communities across the area.
Bradford Village in Edmond, Oklahoma is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) that offers multiple senior housing options including assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing care. Visit my website here for more information on what these - and other - senior housing definitions mean.
Owned by the national company Brookdale Senior Living Solutions (you may have seen their national commercials on TV or in print) Bradford Village's entry fee plans provide healthcare and Assisted Living benefits at locked in rates. From a further financial perspective, they offer several, different financial packages and purchase plans.
Senior housing at Bradford Village Retirement Community consists of independent living cottages in 11 different floor plans ranging from 802 square feet of living space to more than 1,500 square feet.
Meanwhile, residents who require skilled nursing care - either as short-term rehabilitation or on a long-term basis - receive that care in a specialized setting at Bradford Healthcare Center, which is located on the same campus and accomodates up to 113 patients. Here, their goal is always to help patients avoid the feeling that they are in an institutionalized "nursing home" in Edmond, Oklahoma.
Otherwise, across campus at the independent living cottages, residents receive freshly prepared breakfast and lunch Mon through Friday, but are on their own - independently - for dinner throughout the week and for all meals on weekends. Just like all independent adults. They also are provided Fitness and exercise programs, Housekeeping, Scheduled transportation services, Daily cultural, social and/or educational programs, outings or events, Lawn Service, Emergency pull cords, Total maintenance (preventative maintenance inside and out of the cottage), and Therapeutic care when requested.
Here's what those who require Personalized Assisted Living receive:
Three nutritious, freshly prepared meals daily
Snacks and drinks provided throughout the day
Nurse available 24 hours a day for residents’ convenience or in case of emergency
Health and wellness services
Cable TV
Diabetic care
Emergency pull cords and pendants
Fitness and exercise programs
Housekeeping and linen services
Incontinence care
Personalized care
Special diet accommodation
Therapeutic care
Scheduled transportation services
Daily cultural, social and/or educational programs, outings or events
