here was a time when “nursing homes” all looked the same, long linoleum-tiled hallways leading to room after room of matching dreariness. Boy, have times ever changed!

Drive up to Owasso’s brand new, absolutely impressive facility called The Highlands at Owasso and you will think you just arrived at a custom-built home. The building’s stone, English Tudor design and beautiful landscaping entrance open up into a 20-foot vaulted ceiling. Adjoining the massive entrance is a beautiful movie theatre where residents will enjoy classic films as well as live entertainment.

and beauty salon. The stone hallways wrapped around two center courtyards give a homey feel to every wing and attractive entrances lead into private rooms equipped with full baths, carpeted bed areas and desk area wired for the latest technology. “We designed the facility to offer as much privacy as possible. When you are not feeling well and especially when you have just gotten out of the hospital, privacy and quiet is important to the healing process. And besides that, everyone needs their own space,” explained owner, Steve Cox. Just down the hall is the main dining room. Uniquely designed and decorated, the huge room has three separate “restaurant” themed areas… a Mexican Cantina, an Italian Restorantee and a Victorian Tea Room. Weather permitting, the residents and their families will also have the option of dining outside on a beautiful porch overlooking the lake. At the opposite end of the building, a separate Bistro is open all day, providing a great place to grab a quick burger, salad or pizza. Out the north side of the building is another wonderful patio, fully equipped with an outdoor kitchen and big screen televisions. The combination will make anyone, especially the guys, ready to move in just so they can enjoy watching the ballgames. From the plush carpet and beautiful light fixtures to the private rooms and exciting dining areas, The Highlands at Owasso is top-notch. It even has a state-of-the-art gym and a built-in tornado shelter large enough for every resident and all the staff members. Designed to keep its residents active, Highlands is proud to present wellness program that includes daily exercise and healthy
