40 Nursing Homes near Oklahoma City, OK
Oklahoma City is home to 328,000 residents, 16.5% of whom are 65 years and over. The city’s comfortable climate comes from its warm summers, mild winters and precipitation levels slightly below the national average. It has an above-average number of Medicare-registered physicians and 25 hospitals in and around the city limits, including the Oklahoma Heart Hospital and the Bone and Joint Hospital at St. Anthony, which handles simple and complex orthopedic surgeries. The Genworth Cost of Care Survey for 2020 shows that Oklahoma City’s nursing home costs are well below the national average and slightly below the state average.
Nursing homes are a practical solution for seniors who lack the ability to look after themselves without constant supervision and management of their medical needs. Nursing home facilities include skilled staff and nurses who care for seniors’ everyday requirements, from helping them dress and bathe to administering medication. Consequently, nursing home fees tend to be higher than assisted living and home health care services.
This guide provides more detail on care services for seniors, including local resources that can enhance their quality of life.

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.

My wife was a patient in the Rehab section of Bellevue for five weeks after surgery. The owners and employees are very professional and patient oriented. They arranged transportation from the hospital to Bellevue. We were briefed on the day we arrived regarding costs, amenities, food, rehab procedures etc. My wife’s room was very clean and cleaned every day, food was excellent with many choices for every meal. Laundry was done daily, no shortage of staff and supplies, very good covid protocols. The place is family run and there are employees that have been there for over forty years and their offspring also work there. My wife was non weight bearing for four weeks, so she required help for everything and the staff were right there to help. I recommend this facility to everyone.

My father required care in the skilled/rehab section of Baptist Village. It is a newer facility that is very clean. I loved how each section or neighborhood was laid out. Each one had its own kitchen with an eat in bar that was open to the dining and living area. The rooms were surrounding the area with the nurses station in the middle. It felt very home like. Every staff member that we came in contact with was very kind, helpful and attentive. The therapists were also very knowledgeable and provided excellent treatment. I was very impressed with this skilled facility and would highly recommend it.

I’ve only visited my dad once since he moved into South Pointe Rehabilitation and Care Center and I was there for two hours. It’s a big facility and I had to walk down so many hallways just to get to his room. His bed was almost on the floor. I saw nobody coming in while we were there when they’re supposed to be watching him because he kind of tries to get out of bed.
He was in a diaper and was sitting in a chair. He smelt like urine and there was just nobody around. No maintenance. There’s not any place to even keep a bottle of water cold. He depends on them to bring it to him, and there are no phones in the room. So, he has no contact with anybody. We can’t even call. I was not impressed by it at all.

I’m currently in rehab at Accel at Crystal Park. I have been very pleased. The therapist seemed to know what needs to be done, they’re very personable and helpful and caring. So I have no problems. My room is very nice, it’s a private room and has a mini-fridge in it, which I’ve enjoyed having. They keep it extremely clean, they clean every day and it’s a very nice room. I think they do a great job with the food. I’m not saying I’ve always liked what’s offered, but there are always at least two choices for the main entree, and then choices for different vegetables and bread. So I usually can find something I like, there are more choices than I had expected. The main thing is the physical therapy, they have a very large room they call a gym. From what I’ve observed, the activities are for each individual, they have different things and group activities also. I’ve been very pleased with the care I’ve received here. Everyone’s friendly, so I would say it’s got a positive atmosphere.

My wife was in a hospital and they got her to skilled nursing in St. Ann’s Skilled Nursing & Therapy. She’s been there for 2 weeks now. Her experience, so far, is good. She’s improving every day and the facility is good. Of course, with the COVID now, they have to be careful, but they have places where the residents can be with other people there so she has a little bit of social interaction too, which is good. All the staff is also really professional.
The maintenance and upkeep are good. She shares a room with another patient and there’s lots of room even though there are two people in there. They’re still able to have a recliner by her bed. It’s also really clean and everything’s up-to-date so we’ve had no problems with that so far.
The food’s good and she eats mostly in her room. She eats lunch, the noontime meal at the dining area which is spacious too. Now they’re keeping it to one or two people per table. She hasn’t had any complaints about the food.

They all seem nice and seem to be doing what they need to be doing. They got him through the COVID. He had a bad COVID. His lungs were messed up. He had pneumonia. All that, so I got him through that. Now he does not have COVID, but he still has a lot of stuff. He still has to be on oxygen. The staff is pretty nice and they seem pretty friendly to him. I’ve talked to them. It’s pretty clean. He had a problem with his room, with the plumbing going out, but that might have been from the ice storm we had. Most of the time the food is good, every once in a while, he doesn’t like it. Right now he does rehab and exercises. The rooms are shared and they share a bathroom.

My mother has been in Meadowlake Estates for two months now. Most of the staff is pretty hardworking, but they’re probably understaffed right now. I’m not convinced they follow all of their Covid protocols, but they take care of her needs and they’re pretty responsive to her calls for a nurse. She’s in a shared room, so she has a roommate with a curtain in between them. I wouldn’t say her room is necessarily very tidy. It’s got a place for her clothing, which is all folded up in there. There’s a lot of stuff. They have a countertop in there that’s almost like a desk-type thing and that’s pretty covered with her roommate’s belongings and her own belongings.
The food is OK. It sounds like they serve a lot of beef, which she’s not supposed to have. I think that a lot of times it is not necessarily hot when she gets it, but she does get the three meals a day. I don’t know how strongly they encourage her to eat. She’s not eating while she’s there very much, but she has the meals and then they take them away when she doesn’t eat them. She doesn’t leave her room other than when they take her to physical therapy. She told me they didn’t have anything for the residents at Christmas. She’s on the rehab side right now, but she’s not progressing, so she will move into skilled nursing at some point.
It looks nice enough and clean on the outside, and the inside is adequate. I don’t think it’s spectacular, but it’s not dirty. I’ve never seen any egregious violations there. Overall, the place is adequate. I don’t think that it is fabulous necessarily, but the staff is responsive to her. Some staff members are better than others. She has enjoyed the two physical therapists. The things that they were doing have been working well with her. She just hasn’t been progressing.

The staff at Windsor Hills Nursing Center are very nice people! At first it was clean and smelled fine. Over a short period of time rooms were not clean even their trays they ate on in their rooms were dirty! The rooms for two people are very small. The food was not that good. You could turn your light on and it would take at least 30 minutes before anyone would come to see what the resident needed. They did have Bingo for the ones who would play it. They did not give regular showers for residents who are in wheel chairs. I would suggest to check into other Nursing homes several times before your loved one goes in there. This place needs lots of improvements.

These tend to be less expensive because they offer lower levels of care for seniors who are capable of maintaining independent or semi-independent lives. The least expensive option is adult day health care, which typically costs in the region of $1,517, followed by assisted living at $3,900 monthly, while home care averages $4,385, with an additional $48 per month for seniors who need help with their medication.
Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Oklahoma City, 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.
