Grace Pointe sits in Moore, Oklahoma, and is made for adults 55 and older who still want to keep busy and have a simple living situation without a lot of chores. People live in custom single-story cottages, and those homes have big walk-in showers with rock walls and floors, covered porches with ceiling fans, and views of water, ponds with ducks, or landscaped gardens, so there's always something nice to see. Each home comes with its own full kitchen, black granite countertops, big living spaces, private patios, and either one, two, or three bedrooms, and the homes are all on one level for easy access. There are alarms on the homes, and the community has a gated entrance, which helps keep things quiet and safe, plus there's a storm shelter for extra protection during Oklahoma weather, which can get rough sometimes.
There are a lot of places to gather outside or indoors-people can walk on the trails, fish in the ponds, relax in garden and greenhouse areas, or just sit and talk with neighbors. The community tries to help folks make friends through regular events like wine tastings, book clubs, movies, holiday parties, or potlucks, and there are always chances to join a card game or chat over coffee. The clubhouse acts like the center of the neighborhood, offering fitness classes, arts and crafts, social gatherings, and group outings, and there's a gym, a big movie theater room, a game lounge, and a library, so there's something for different interests. Those who want to garden can join in the community garden, and there's also a spot for pets, since animals are welcome.
Grace Pointe has maintenance-free living, which means staff takes care of the household repairs and outside work, and keeps everything running. It's also got options for folks who need more help, including Assisted Living, Memory Care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, and even residential care homes for those who need a live-in caregiver. Some parts of Grace Pointe offer secure apartments for people who need extra safety, and there are guest houses for visitors, covered parking, and storage space.
This place doesn't provide meals or housekeeping, since it focuses on letting people live on their own, but there's a big focus on wellness, friendly staff, and social programs, and that seems to be one reason it has won awards like "Best of Senior Living." Whether someone wants to join activities, relax in their own place, or walk with their dog by a pond, Grace Pointe aims to have a little bit of everything while keeping things simple and safe.
