Mangum Skilled Nursing & Therapy sits at 320 Carey Street in Mangum, Oklahoma and serves as a nursing home that also offers short-term rehabilitation for folks who need extra help after leaving the hospital. The facility has 140 certified beds, so it can support many residents at once, and there's twenty-four-hour supervision along with a 24-hour call system, meals, housekeeping, and linen services. The rooms come as private suites or shared rooms, and they're all fully furnished, air-conditioned, have private bathrooms, phones, cable, Wi-Fi, and the whole place is set up to make sure no one gets lost or wanders off, which a lot of families care about. Mangum Skilled Nursing & Therapy brings in certified nurses, licensed medical staff, qualified nursing assistants, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals to focus on care for very frail people and those who might need strict monitoring because of serious health issues.
The staff gives daily help with medicine, bathing, getting dressed, and keeping up with medical conditions, and transportation is arranged for doctor visits and appointments outside the building, so families don't have to worry about how their loved one will get where they need to go. There's a strong focus on therapy services, too, because the team wants to help residents regain as much strength and movement as possible-after things like surgery, strokes, joint replacements, or respiratory illness-using physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Residents also get to join group activities and community life programs each day for socializing and staying active.
With Bridges Health as the affiliate and Bridges Esop, Inc managing the place since December 2020 with William Coble, Mangum Skilled Nursing & Therapy has a nurse staffing level that's slightly above the state average, but the nurse turnover rate is a bit higher as well, and the facility runs as a for-profit partnership. There have been some issues noted with basic life support and nurse competencies, though a lot of people find value in the secure environment, wide range of personal care, and the hands-on approach to rehabilitation here. The main goal stays centered around compassion, dignity, and helping residents regain as much independence as possible between the hospital and home.
