Nursing Home Communities in Muskogee, OK

"Fort Gibson Nursing Home is located in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. My grandmother stayed the last year of her life there. I made sure to visit her every day to visit and to check on her. During my visits I was greeted with a very kind front desk staff member. If there was ever a problem they would either call or let me know as soon as I walked in. They always seem to be keeping an eye on her and if they thought there maybe a problem with her medicine they would let me know they had a call into the doctor. That way I always knew if my grandmother had a change in her physical well being it could be due to the new medicine. The area is secure and you can only get in and out by the ladies at the desk which is a positive seeing how my grandmother had Alzheimer's. I want to also mention that it was always clean and they seem to have things in working order. I did have the opportunity to catch them during different times of the day during meal time. They always seem to have a good hot meal served and those that were unable to feed themselves had someone there to do so. One suggestion I would make if, you have someone there or plan on going there make sure you keep personal items labeled with your name and don't keep a lot a things. They seem to get lost easily. Should it be clothing let them know. They probably sent them to a wrong room. Fort Gibson Nursing Home isn't overly huge and I think with that plus having great staff members helps a lot. "

"Wagoner Care is a small nursing home. The staff always have smiles on their faces and seem quit genuine. My grandmother was there and she had dementia, she couldn't remeber who anyone was. The staff was so patient with her and never forced her when she was scared or nervous. They were able to get her up and bathed and into the cafeteria with caring and patientience. They would stop by and check on her and they would approach her with a warm smile and quitely remind her where she was what was going on. I never felt like I wasn't welcome to visit and the nurses would be very knowledgeable. The would call me day or night for information on my grandmother. For instance she was talking about a friend of her's alot, and this wasn't anyone she had talked about before. The nurse called me to ask about this person so that they could have conversations with my grandmother to help with her memory. All I can say is Wagoner care was a great place for my grandmother and the care given was at the top. "

"The place just seemed "alright." It was clean and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, I worked at the grocery store across the street and when taking the trash out to the dumpster I noticed the dumpster was filled with bags of used medical supplies. Lots of tubes filled with blood, syringes, and other items, which I later found out to be illegal dumping. "

"My 93 year old mother was in this facility for six months following a broken hip. She was neglected to the point of near death - severe dehydration, untreated urinary tract infection, pressure sores, foot drop. She fell out of bed twice within 12 hours requiring trips to the ER and stitches. I spent around 5 hours a day in this facility with my mother for 33 days until I could get her out. It is a dispicable place. If this is typical of what is acceptable for nursing homes, our society is sorely lacking...I filed complaints with the two different state agencies and talked to countless others - no one cares. My mother, by the way, recovered and is doing well AT HOME. "

"My mother is in Cherokee County Nursing Center. They do have long-term care and also a center for rehabilitation. It was all very good. The food was good, and the staff was very attentive and kind. I have no complaints. The room is very nice, spacious, and well appointed. It's a very nice facility. They do have a lot of activities and social events scheduled for the patients. However, I get a little annoyed that there are no phones in the patients' rooms. There is a phone out of the nursing desk, which is often busy or goes unanswered. It would be better if there were telephones in all the rooms. "

"My husband is in Inola Health Care Center. It's a very nice place with very caring, loving, and nice people. My husband is receiving physical therapy. He's in a private room, which isn't fancy. They have bingo and board games. They really try to keep them busy. The meals are good. My husband is not able to participate in activities at the present time, but the other people I've watched there seem to be very happy."
