Weatherwood is situated on nearly 15 acres in Weatherford, OK, a town of approximately 10,000 people 80 miles west of Oklahoma City on I-40. Residents at Weatherwood have access to a library/study, an activity center, card and game areas, a beauty/barber shop, a large dining room, a private dining room, a coffee center, a great room, an above-ground safe room and an enclosed courtyard. Living units offer self-contained kitchenettes but are unfurnished to let residents add a personal touch.
The town of Weatherford is approximately halfway from either the eastern or western seacoasts and a day’s drive or less from Albuquerque, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City and St. Louis. The city boasts 12 parks—including the popular Thomas P. Stafford Air & Space Museum—abundant walking trails, a rodeo arena, Southwestern Oklahoma State University and Southwestern Memorial Hospital. Another popular attraction is the Weatherford Wind Energy Center where 98 wind machines generate up to 147 megawatts of electricity — enough to power more than 44,0000 homes.
At Weatherwood, our staff helps residents get the most out of life with a health and wellness program that offers recreational and social activities designed to meet individual needs. Support groups, as well as our professional staff, are available to assist with any issues that may face our residents. Health education programs promote both fun and healthy living. While we assist seniors with daily life, our staff members also encourage each resident to remain as active and independent as possible.
Weatherwood’s assisted living staff is available at all times to help residents manage day-to-day living. We can help with ordering medication. We can remind residents to take their medication and, should they want or need assistance, we can even administer it for them.
