Silver Elm Estates Norman

Silver Elm Estates Norman sits in Norman, Oklahoma, and does a good job of giving seniors choices for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care all in one place. The community allows pets and has 110 apartment units built in 2013, with both 1 and 2-bedroom layouts that feel homey but are also accessible and have options that follow ADA guidelines, which might make moving around a little easier for some folks. Each apartment has its own entrance and exit doors, plus emergency pull cords for safety, and a lot of apartments come with a washer and dryer in the unit, which is handy if folks don't want to share. Some units even have carports, if driving's still on the table. All utilities, basic cable, and a landline phone get included in the rent, and there aren't any activation fees trying to catch people off guard. Meals are served restaurant-style three times a day, and the community adds weekly housekeeping and light cleaning to keep up with chores without getting behind. A beauty salon and barbershop can help folks keep up with haircuts, and there's a wellness room and center for health programs and activities. Silver Elm hosts a structured calendar with resident activities that keep people social, whether that's weekly get-togethers or monthly events, and there's a dedicated activity room for those group times. Staff handle postal services, local transportation for shopping, doctor visits, and errands, plus they're trained and available when needed. The location sits just about a mile and a quarter from the Norman Regional HealthPlex and CVS Pharmacy, with plenty of retail and medical nearby, so getting out for basics isn't hard. There's a stable and full occupancy with a waiting list. The apartments remain affordable for private pay, and the community is run by a family operation, so there's a certain steadiness folks might like. New residents find a chance to keep their independence as much as possible, especially with scheduled housekeeping, handy washer and dryer units, and meals cooked daily. Silver Elm Estates Norman feels like a practical place for older adults who want a choice between independence or extra care as needed, all while keeping their pets and having friendly neighbors close by.
