Okalee of Medina

My mom, 81, recently moved into Okalee, and we are all delighted! She is currently independent and moved into an independent apartment, but we like the fact that increasing levels of assistance will be available if she needs them, from assisted living through memory care. My mom has two little dogs who are very important to her, and we were so excited to find a place for her that welcomed both of her dogs! Okalee is beautiful and has all the modern amenities, but is also small and homey, in a beautiful and peaceful natural setting. My mom's apartment has a fantastic view, and she and her dogs enjoy daily walks on the private nature trail. My mom loves her new apartment, and we are so happy that she and her dogs are in a beautiful, safe, enriching environment!

Okalee of Medina has become a new home for my sister. She was in a rehab facility for an extended period and not able to move home after her rehab was complete. She needed to move to assisted living on short notice. The staff at Okalee was so helpful as we navigated this big transition.
The community at Okalee has been so good for my sister. The staff is professional AND personable. Nurse Jessica is on top of health care needs. The kitchen staff prepares wonderful meals and serves them cheerfully while chatting with residents by name. The fitness center is available for residents by choice and for physical therapy. The common areas are well designed and welcoming. Windows look out over wetlands, forests and fields.
I am so grateful for the peace of mind Okalee has provided for our family.

As a partner in providing healthcare services to the residents of Okalee of Medina, I can say that the residents and their health and independence is of great importance to the Okalee team. By partnering with Odom Rehab to provide physical, occupational and speech therapy services they are giving their residents a unique advantage in seniors housing to age successfully.
I have also noticed that the staff genuinely care about the residents and their well-being, and are some of the most caring and attentive staff I have seen!

For the past 2 years I have had the opportunity to work with the residents at Okalee of Medina.

This is an active, fun loving community with residents loving to get out and about. Those that don’t have cars use the ride amenity provided by Okalee to assist with individual transportation needs.

I am the Activity Director/Volunteer Coordinator at Okalee. I am extremely impressed with how well residents are cared for here. The building is very clean, state mandates to prevent Covid-19 are strictly followed which, thank God, has helped protect our residents and staff. The dietary department makes great food, the director works very hard to create menus that residents enjoy.

All of the residents here are WONDERFUL. There is a great community here, where residents really care for each other. For example, one resident makes homemade cards for each new resident. There is not a day that goes by where I am not touched by the kindness of someone at Okalee. We love to laugh here as well. We have a lot of fun and look forward to all that we will be able to do post-pandemic!

Staff truly care about the clientele at Okalee. That is what makes me happiest about working here.
