The Grove at Midtown Senior Living

I rate all questions a rating of 5. That facility is excellent. The staff are exceptional and they were very supportive and comforting to me and to my husband at the end of his life.

My wife had good care at The Grove at Midtown.

I would recommend The Grove at Midtown. The staff are great and there are plenty of activities. It was easy to move in. We think mom has had excellent care. The staff take physical care but they are also loving and kind as if they are her kids, too. Sometimes she doesn't know they are not family because she is treated that way by the vast majority of of the staff. No one is perfect, but we are very pleased with the choice to put her there. Also I should comment about security. There are a lot of homeless people in that area of Tulsa, but the building and grounds are secure. I have never felt uncomfortable for myself or for her.

I would say that The Grove completely understands the process of memory care and all of the side effects and behaviors that come with this diagnosis. The staff are very helpful. They are knowledgeable and they do a good job of caring for the family member. The move-in process was seamless. The staff at The Grove was helpful and they made our transition easy and comfortable. The food at The Grove probably does need to get stepped up. When my mother was there five years ago, the food was better and that was before the facility was named The Grove. Back the,n the facility was named Brookdale. I would recommend The Grove to any family looking for memory care for their loved one. When the family member needs hospice, the personnel at The Grove are helpful in selecting a provider and the caregivers work well with hospice staff.

I'm happy here and feel safe and cared for. I especially like that it's a smaller facility.

Meals are good, move in process was nice, staff is great, communication has been ok, staff has been short handed due to turnover and Covid. I would recommend this facility to other families.

These are the known issues with my mom before she passed. They did not have her on the diet that the doctor wanted her on. Her records where incorrect, had her as a widow, she was not, also a lot of her medical records were wrong. I found this out meeting with the nurse over the facility, had an issue with the no staff on the 3rd floor, waited over 5 minutes to be let out.....after walking the floor to find someone. Residents where all alone in one room. I was told that the lady in charge of the facility would be contacting me about the issue, never received a call. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I feel that my mom would still be alive if they had been checking on her like they said they would.

The move in was great - families need to be prepared to handle all the moving. Facilities provide dollies, but you move all things yourself. The meals are great. Staff text or called several times when a situation came up that needed attention.

The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. Mother complains often about the food. I only hear the complaints (every time we talk). I think management is trying to improve might be the cook or simply seasoning. Or perhaps my mother is just wanting more meals out which is impossible

My mother is currently a resident at The Grove at Midtown Senior Living and everything has been very good for her so far at this facility. The staff is good and loving. The facility is clean and has a positive feel to it. This facility is also a great value for most middle class families. The cleanliness, friendliness, staff and care services are great. The meals and dining and activities are good.

I will say that I have no real basis for comparison on Assisted Living. However, I've had to correct so many mistakes that, unless a resident has an advocate, I wouldn't put a family member in any Assisted Living facility. I advocate for my loved one routinely. I am not moving him, so in that regard basic needs are being met at The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. One has to keep on top of your loved one's requirements. Generally, medicines get administered properly. There is irregularity in when cleaning/straightening up of rooms occurs. Sometimes the beds don't get made until late afternoon. Generally, individuals on staff are friendly, but they need more training, and there is high turnover. The food is just okay. The move-in process was quite bumpy. Communication with the residents' family members occurs if the family initiates it. I have many recommendations for improvement, but I doubt corporate would spend the money. I've been told this is one of the better places in Tulsa, so for that reason I guess I could recommend The Grove at Midtown Senior Living to others. But, it's a far cry from my expectations on how an elderly person should be attended to and cared for. Again, I'm not sure this is so different from other Assisted Living facilities.

We were originally looking for Memory Care, but based on the staff recommendations, we ended up choosing Assisted Living, because Memory Care is not yet a necessity. My loved one has lived there now for several months in Assisted Living, very happily. We are grateful because the Memory Care is a totally different level of care that she is not yet at. The housekeeping is very good. Her room and the whole facility pass the "smell test" on a regular basis. After just a few weeks, we felt like all of the nursing staff knew her and understood her routines. It was also very helpful that they knew us so when we (the family) would go visit, they would often pull us aside and give us an update, so that we would understand things that she didn't remember had occurred. They've been a great asset to our family and we feel like we are a team working towards the same goal of helping her live comfortably. The meals are quite good. It is a very easy process to go eat a meal with her for only five dollars. Where else can you get a decent meal for such a low price? Often we just go sit with her while she eats amongst some of her friends. The dining room is equipped with clean table linens at every meal and you are served by the staff at the facility as if you're in a restaurant. They take great pride in giving quality table service. I should also comment on the Activities Director. She is amazing in knowing every resident's name, always having an upbeat, positive attitude, and has a unique way of enticing residents to be involved in activities, including exercise and craft classes. Our loved one would never have done that on her own, but is now a regular participant in those activities. This gives her a reason to get up every day, get dressed, be clean, and make new friends while being active and keeping an active mind. We will forever be grateful to The Grove for a significantly improved quality of life for our loved one.

There were people that are just like my loved one at The Grove at Midtown. She was able to fit in nicely there. Also had some independence that she has always had.

Overall amazing staff who offer residents daily guidance, support and encouragement. A vital part of this community is the excellence and variety in ACTIVITIES. SPECIAL high honors are directed to [name removed]. She is VERY positive and always has a smile. One of the highlights for my wife (new resident) is the Sunday morning Worship Service. We start with a hymn sing, which greatly encourages her because she has been playing the piano in church and camp settings almost her whole life. Now she is able to bless other residents with her piano playing. [name removed] has multiple talents as she leads in various group activities, special projects, group outings and even helping to organize a PROM night which the residents LOVED. She organized donations of prom dresses which made each resident feel VERY SPECIAL! [name removed], my wife, family and I salute and THANK YOU. May God continue to give you the strength, insights and energy to carry on with enthusiasm.

My mom moved in a few months ago and the experience has been amazing. Today, we joined her for chair Zumba and trivia! This has been a wonderful environment for her. The activities are amazing and [name removed], the activities director, has a wonderful gift of interacting with the residents and brightening each persons day! She goes out of her way to continuously spread joy and kindness to everyone. We thank God for the Grove.

My mom moved into the Grove at Midtown in [date removed], and we could not be more pleased with all the care but especially the daily activities planned for the residents. The three activity directors are kind and energetic, but most importantly they truly create a personal relationship with every resident. My mom is always made to feel special and gets more hugs than I give her! The activities themselves keep the residents busy if they choose to attend, and if residents are a little hesitant, the activity directors do everything to try to remind and urge them to take part. In addition to consistent daily activities such as exercise, bingo, crafts, etc. special occasion activities such as outings, musical guests, and parties are sprinkled throughout each month. They do everything they can to throw the best special occasion parties. Just in May they hosted an all-day Cinco de Mayo celebration and put on a "senior" prom. I couldn't be more pleased with the activities at The Grove.

We've been happy with The Grove at Midtown. The main thing - they keep the facility very clean, and their communication is very good. I would highly recommend them to other families.
