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.

Gayla Treadway Review
I am the Resident Council President for South Pointe Rehab and Care Center. I have been president for a year and obtained this position by being voted in by the other residents of South Pointe.
What we do in resident council is bring up problems and find solutions. An example of one of the things the Resident Council did is request vending machines for the residents. We stated our case on how many people would use them and they were put in place. It has made a significant difference in maintaining our independence. We also have a cheering section in resident council. We cheer for all the good things happening at South Pointe. As President, I lead with the philosophy that everyone needs and thrives on encouragement.
I have lived at South Pointe for 6 years. I owe my life to South Pointe. When I first got there, I was dying. I have COPD and my doctor had given me two weeks to live. I knew I needed to find a nursing home because I could no longer care for myself. Because I had been so sick, I was struggling under a mound of medical bills which had drained me financially. No other places would take me because of that, however, South Pointe Rehab and Care Center found a way to make it work.
By coming to South Pointe, I was able to get the medical help I needed and my health began to improve. I didn’t die, I started living again. I made a lot of friends at South Pointe. I started a coloring club. At this club we have projects and art contests. Having this creative outlet for me is a soul saver. I still deal with a lot of pain and coloring helps relieve that pain. Coloring takes me out of the pain and into concentrating on creating art.
I believe life starts with having a little gratitude everyday. I enjoy the activities at South Pointe. I especially love the gospel music. South Pointe also gives us the freedom to worship how ever we want to.
Our visitors are always welcome and the staff is friendly to them.
I believe when God closes a door he leaves a window open. Thank you South Pointe for opening your windows and doors to me.

My sister-in-law placed her mother at Epworth. I placed mine at 2 other spots over several years so I had a comparison. Epworth was sadly lacking in their care. The mother just passed away but I am so glad I didn’t place MY mother there. There was constant turn over in the staff. Staff would not call back, they would not answer the phone. My sister in law would let it ring 25 times and no answer. She’d bring up problems to those in charge, and no change. When her mother passed, no one showed any compassion. I promise you that my mother’s care was far superior. Every thing I reported about was the opposite at both her places of care at one third the expense. Embarrassing that this place survives. (I guess they are good with the independents and some assisted care people). Horrible with others.

My mom was in Accel at Crystal Park. The physical therapy team is great there, they do a really good job. But they seem to be very short-staffed as far as nurses and nursing assistants. So they took a lot of time to get to my mom, but the physical therapy people helped her. She has COPD, so they try to figure out ways to help her do things that will conserve her energy, so she won’t have much trouble breathing. The patients kind of pick their food. She likes the food during the weekends, she said that was good food, but during the week she tends to not like what they have. Right now with COVID, I never really saw people out, they were all pretty much in their rooms. They have a beauty salon and my mom had her hair done once while she was there. It’s a little pricey but other than that, they seemed to have done a good job with her hair. It’s always clean and up to date.

You really need to think twice, three times before choosing this facility for your loved one. It is a Medicaid and Medicare facility. If you have Medicare, you probably don’t want to live here as you have better options. Leadership seems very disorganized and can’t answer simple questions. Maybe they are overwhelmed? They forget or get distracted and do not to send messages to your loved ones. Just doesn’t feel like the best situation, especially when visitation is so limited with COVID.

They take time to explain everything to me.

My uncle is in Tuscany Village Nursing Center. It was the one that he was placed in when he got out from the hospital. That was just the place that he was able to get the care that he needed. He wasn’t ready for assisted living. It’s pretty good, but I haven’t been able to go in because of COVID restrictions. But so far they’ve given him options, so I would say it’s good, and my uncle also says it’s good. They’re helping him apply for benefits. If he doesn’t wanna eat what they’re serving for dinner they offer him fruit smoothies, and then we’re able to drop off things and they gave it to him. It is kind of hard to get an update on him. It’s a long waiting time when we ask to talk to the nurse, so that’s not very good with open communication. All the time they have to hunt down the person to talk to.

For the most part our experience was a good experience. The rooms are large which makes it easier for the patients to get around whether in a wheelchair or using a walker. Jawaun was especially helpful at navigating us to the right people when we needed something. She would answer what questions we had and if she didn’t have the answer she found the right person for us to talk to. She returned calls and such in a reasonably timely matter considering how busy she was. The nurses were very nice when would call to check on our relative. Sometimes we would have to call back and wait 15min – 20min for them to come to the phone but under the circumstances it was understandable to a point. My opinion is just that my opinion other family members do have a different opinion on some level of care. Sometimes it would take a few calls to get the main phone line answered when we would call in. The D.O.N. sometimes took a couple of days to return phone calls.
Covid has made it difficult at best to handle the care of patients and also their family members who are unable to see their relative besides through a window.

I guess my grandfather would have continued struggling to breathe, with no help or assistance from the nursing staff!! The staff has time to hang out and play cards, but not pay attention to their patients !! It needs to be closed down, because the patients have no phones in their rooms, the nursing home is dirty, needs remolding, painting , and it is a very substandard place, with one Tv per room and no chairs in the rooms in which vistors can sit while they visit their loved ones.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Family members who are unsure if a nursing home is the best solution for their loved ones may want to consider comparing the benefits and costs of alternative forms of care. 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.
