Shady Rest Care Center sits in Pryor, Oklahoma and offers a range of care options for seniors, including assisted living, memory care services for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing with 12-16 hour nursing support, plus a 24-hour call and emergency alert system so help's always close by, and you'll also find medication management and help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and transfers, which is especially useful for people who may need a bit more help due to mobility or medical conditions. The facility provides both private and semiprivate rooms, all furnished and including private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, and there are studio options as well for those preferring more space or privacy, while nutritious meals are planned by dietitians and chefs, served throughout the day with all-day dining and menu options for special diets, and daily housekeeping and laundry services are included to keep things comfortable and tidy, which many families appreciate.
The activities program's pretty broad-there's a movie theater, game room, activity and community rooms, a library, fitness and wellness spaces, community gardens, arts room, and even walking paths, plus a social calendar that features music, arts, exercise classes, religious services, and community events, which can help everyone stay active and connected, and for those interested, there are also beauty and barber services available on site. Nursing and rehabilitative care are managed by a dedicated team, including DONs Lena Cooper-Krops and Sherry Brown, as well as an MDS Coordinator named Patti Malone, all overseen by Administrator Jodi Coatney, and the skilled unit ensures residents get access to registered nurses, wound and pain management, therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech, along with hospice and restorative care, and the team tailors plans for each person, with support from a social services and activities director and an interdisciplinary care plan team, aiming for patient-centered care.
Security's looked after with coded doors, especially in the memory care areas, and there's thoughtful help available for non-ambulatory residents, and for those who might need it, respite care and home care services with trained aides can provide temporary or regular support. Residents and families will also find support through transportation, parking, and programs for veterans, including those who use VA pensions or benefits like Aid and Attendance, and Shady Rest even accepts Medicaid and Medicare, making it more accessible for people with different financial situations. Staff and visitors often describe the atmosphere as friendly and helpful, with many staff going out of their way to keep a cheerful, welcoming environment, and although Shady Rest Care Center's received recognition like the Best of Senior Living awards, families and residents generally notice the simple, no-frills focus on quality care, community engagement, and making sure people can be as independent and comfortable as possible within well-kept facilities.
