Checotah Nursing & Rehabilitation sits in a quiet Oklahoma community and belongs to the Deer Creek Healthcare Network that runs long-term care, skilled nursing, memory care, and rehab across several local facilities like Maple Lawn Facility, Binger Nursing Facility, and Cordell Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. This place works as a skilled nursing facility for folks who need extra help after a hospital stay, illness, or surgery, and they've got both short-term rehab and long-term nursing care, with certified beds for up to 50 people out of 82 total. People living here get support from a skilled team of nurses, licensed medical staff, CNAs, and therapists who help with transfers, medication, daily grooming tasks like bathing and dressing, along with a 12-16 hour nursing schedule and 24-hour supervision if needed, which is good for those with complex medical needs or for those who can't get around by themselves.
Checotah Nursing & Rehabilitation takes both Medicare and Medicaid for payment, and you can find everything from meal preparation with allergy-friendly, diabetes, and special diet options, to daily housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, so families have fewer worries. Rooms are clean and come with private bathrooms, furnished setups, cable TV, telephones, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and high-speed internet; you can pick between private suites or shared rooms, and there's move-in help if that's useful. The facility is always staffed, and they've consistently had strong nurse quality grades, especially at avoiding big problems like falls and pressure ulcers, plus they registered proper medical staff hours including RN, LPN, CNA, and therapists, so help's never far off. The building holds a dining room for restaurant-style meals, an arts room, a library, fitness and game rooms, a spa/wellness area, a movie theater, and spacious outdoor areas like walking paths and gardens; throughout the day, folks enjoy things like fitness programs, music and arts, and group activities.
Rehabilitation services cover both inpatient and outpatient care, with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and there's support like home making, palliative care, pharmacy, nutrition counseling, respiratory care, and social work, plus special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia run with guidance from the Alzheimer's Association, and activities are often planned to help reduce confusion or agitation and foster engagement. Safety is a focus, with secure spots and emergency alert systems in place, staff help prevent wandering, and transportation to doctors' appointments or other outings can be arranged. Residents have all-day access to 24-hour call systems for any need, and individualized care plans make sure support fits each person's situation.
The entire place feels friendly and calm, and with both large rooms and sunny dining areas, it gives a homey sense where people can settle in and build real connections with each other and the staff, who are known for being reliable and caring. Housekeeping, laundry, meal service, transportation, and family support are included, so families can visit knowing things are in order. Checotah Nursing & Rehabilitation doesn't have a Resident Council or a Family Council, but staff listen to concerns and try to involve families in resident care. The facility's short-term care quality ratings have ranged from D to B+ at different times, so there have been ups and downs, but nursing care itself is still solid, and the environment encourages comfort and activity for people at all stages of health.
