Nursing Home Communities in Beaver, OK

"About six years ago we had to put my grandfather in a nursing home and we didn't have a whole lot of options due to his location in Kansas. We wanted to put him in a home that was caring and had strong Christian values, since that is the way he lived his life. We chose the Good Samaritan Society across the street from his church. The people there are great, and really care about the patients. As with any place, there are workers that do better than others and take more care for the patients, but overall they all do a great job. The Employees are very professional and personable; they really invested in my grandfather, and took care of him. They talk to him as if he knew everything that was going on, even though he is not completely aware of his surroundings. The facilities are good, the rooms are perfect for one person, but are a little cramped when two patients share a room. "

"Wheatridge Park Care Center seemed a little older, but it was kept up nicely. Each patient either could share a room or they had a private room to themselves, and you could have your own private bathroom. Actually, my mother-in-law stayed there, and every time I went there it seemed like they were always serving meals. If she didn't like the meal they offered, they had an alternative. You could get like a sandwich and chips or something like that. When I first walked in, the first thing on the right would be the physical therapy, and there was somebody in there, and it seemed like the physical therapist was very active in her work with the patients. I noticed that she was always there working patients constantly. They also had a fairly good-sized dining room. They gave patients a choice of either dining in the dining room or dining in their bedroom. The staff seemed very helpful. The place seemed clean."
