These residential facilities foster maintenance-free living through daily dining services, regular housekeeping and trash removal and individualized care plans with nonmedical custodial services. They also host recreational activities and programs throughout the week and have indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can relax, visit with friends and family members and participate in group activities and classes. Rates vary depending on a facility’s amenities, but on average, seniors in Duncan pay $3,561 per month for care. This is lower than Oklahoma’s average of $3,855 and the national norm of $4,500.
