The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Edmond, OK for 2023
With 94,054 residents, Edmond is one of Oklahoma’s largest cities. The area is home to nearly 14,000 seniors who represent about 15% of the population. Edmond is a desirable location for older adults who require a nursing home level of care. The community is just 15 miles north of Oklahoma City, which gives residents access to top-rated medical centers and cultural attractions. Although the cost of living is on par with the U.S. average, seniors pay about 30% less for nursing home care, which averages $5,247 per month.
Seniors who require daily assistance with household chores or medical needs may consider assisted living or in-home care as low-cost alternatives. These services are appropriate for seniors who are mostly independent but require help with certain tasks, such as cooking and bathing. Home health care providers can assist with medications and equipment, and they can offer skilled services, such as physical therapy.
If you’re considering nursing home care for yourself or a loved one, this guide includes information to help you make an informed decision. You’ll find price comparisons, a directory of local providers and contact information for agencies that offer community-based services.

I spent 5 weeks at he Timbers "recovering" from a fall and 10 hours on the floor at home. With the exception of 2 – 3 wonderful nurses, a fine therapy group and a good wound care unit, the Timbers offers little in terms of "care". My first 3 weeks there my weight went from 181 to 159. Turns out I was getting 5 "feedings" ( I have a PEG button) instead of 6. I also have Parkinson’s and received only half dosage of one med and none at all of the other for my complete stay. I’m sure the Timbers is not the worst facility but there must be many other competent facilities out there.

My friend was at Bradford Village Healthcare Center. People were friendly but the facility was old and outdated, and the air conditioning was bad. The skilled nursing side was horrible. They didn’t have enough staff, but the people were nice. I wouldn’t complain about them over anything, but they’re just working with what they have.
She liked going there because of the nice people and that’s where she wanted to go when she went for rehabilitation for the second time. I didn’t like the food too much too. I have seen their activity room but I am not sure what their activities were. I think people were just laying in their chairs.
If they’re going to charge $3000 a month, they should invest it in their building. When I had her on the nursing home side, it was pretty nice and it gave us false security about putting our loved one in the skilled nursing because it’s a different environment there. The stench in there was horrible, but I understand elderly people have accidents, as we all know that.

My mom went for rehab and skilled nursing at The Fountains at Canterbury for about five or six weeks. Appearance and layout are good. The physical therapy people and doctor are awesome, but the nursing care there sucks at times because there is a lack of attention. Anytime we had a question, they got upset and said we "cared too much." We had some issues throughout the process with the nursing people. The food was pretty good, but they tended to run out of desserts and sometimes didn’t have enough food to go around, which surprised me since they know how many people are in there.

Absolutely HORRIFIC experience!
In early May, I broke my femur in two places and had a rod put in. A few days later, before the hospital discharged me to Bellevue, my patient advocate at the hospital spoke with the female administrator (I’m withholding the name intentionally) about my situation. I am a multiple assault survivor, with PTSD as a result, and being in a facility with male employees, especially when I had no way of defending myself with a broken leg, was very triggering. The administrator assured my advocate that my needs could be met and that no male employees would be allowed in my room. This conversation took place several hours BEFORE I was transferred to Bellevue.
I had been at Bellevue for less than an hour before my first encounter with a male employee. The PT team had left me in the bathroom, and I told them I would use the call button for assistance once I was done. When I did, a male employee entered my room. I called out from the restroom that there weren’t to be any men in my room. That this had been arranged with the administrator in advance. He said there was no one else available. I reiterated what had been agreed upon before I arrived and that I needed him to go and find someone. He said there wasn’t anyone. I told him he could not come in. He didn’t get anyone and I was left sitting on the toilet. After 15 minutes (thinking he’d gone to get someone), I did what I had no choice but to do. I unsteadily made my way out using my walker.
By this time, my pain meds were wearing off and I needed more. I had been at Bellevue multiple hours by this point. It took a couple of more hours for Bellevue to figure out there had been a mistake, get it figured out, and get me pain meds. (A femur break ranks up there with the most painful things a person can experience).
During this time of waiting for my medication, who should come back into my room… the same male employee I had already told that men weren’t allowed in my room!
By this point, I was an emotional and physical wreck, and told my spouse that he had to get me out of there. Texts regarding the situation went back and forth between me and the original administrator who had assured us that meeting my need of not having male employees in my room wouldn’t be a problem. My spouse was going back and forth with the head nurse regarding why I hadn’t received any pain meds. Given the nature of my injuries, my spouse was concerned that he couldn’t manage my needs, and I agreed to stay overnight and the administrator said there would be a note on my door stating that no one was allowed to enter my room without approval from the nurse in charge. I was so far into trauma response at the time, that I couldn’t sleep, despite finally having heavy narcotics in my system.
While the first shift during the night adhered to the sign on my door, by morning, there was an employee who had come into my room twice before noticing the sign. By morning, I had been up over 24 hours and was sobbing when my spouse called to check on me. He was FURIOUS that things had continued to go sideways and rushed over to check me out immediately.
The gentleman working that morning got belligerent with my spouse saying that I couldn’t check out. That if I did, my order for physical therapy would be considered completed and that I wouldn’t be able to get PT anywhere else. More phone calls happened, and eventually he got me released.
It’s taken me seven months to be able to leave this review. It took several sessions with a trauma therapist to work through what happened at Bellevue. And yet, months after leaving Bellevue, they had the gall to call my spouse and demand payment for something. He told them he was more than happy to pay it once Bellevue reimbursed us for the trauma therapist. Bellevue immediately waived the charges.
To this day, I’ve kept the administrator’s texts about the entire situation on my phone as I still can’t believe their incredible negligence. Don’t promise what you can’t deliver. People’s lives are at stake.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Edmond, OK
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
