    Attractive facility but care inadequate

    I would strongly discourage placing a loved one here. The building is attractive, clean and offers activities, and a few front-desk and care staff were kind, but overall care was inadequate: staff were mostly indifferent, slow to return pages, long waits for bathroom/assistance, infrequent baths (sometimes at 2-3 a.m.), and poor responsiveness for wheelchair residents. I had belongings go missing (bath sheet, collared shirt, king pillowcase), OTC meds taken and not returned, and even bedbugs; smokers dominate the outdoor common area and administration/visitation issues made recovery unsafe.

    About Walnut Grove Living Center

    Walnut Grove Living Center offers skilled nursing care and several senior living options, including nursing home services, assisted living, and memory care, and the place provides a peaceful environment with views of gentle landscapes that help folks feel at ease and maybe a little less anxious. The staff includes registered nurses like Stacy Gideon as well as a full team of medical, therapy, and support professionals, and they're known for working closely with people to make sure everyone's needs get attention, whether someone needs round-the-clock help or a bit more independence. Administrators Peggy Bennett and Waynette Bennett oversee the facility's operations, and Walnut Grove runs as a for-profit partnership, tying in with Walnut Grove Care & Rehab and a reputable healthcare organization that's been steadily serving southeastern Oklahoma for a long time.

    Residents get access to physical, occupational, speech, and aquatic therapy, and there are hospice services, rehab, help with medication, and special programs for folks with dementia. There's a strong focus on person-centered care through things like customized diet and nutrition plans, help with homemaking, and plenty of everyday support. Meals are cooked on-site with attention to nutrition, and staff are always around to offer a hand with daily tasks, making sure needs don't go overlooked. The long-term care quality rating stands at a C, meaning it meets standard requirements, but the facility inspection grade sits at an A, which means the state found few problems or deficiencies during checks. Walnut Grove Living Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid.

    Amenities and activities aim to help everyone stay comfortable and busy, whether it's social events, outings, or quiet relaxation. Residents have a council that gives them a voice, but family members don't have their own council. The center has won different awards and holds accreditations for its services over the years, showing a steady dedication to healthcare. The facility uses online platforms for communication and information, and keeps privacy choices clear, with features for activity logging and account access. Walnut Grove Living Center highlights a history of caring for seniors, building a local reputation over generations, and tries to provide a warm, welcoming place where people feel supported and respected.
