Stroud Health Care Center South

Stroud Health Care Center South used to be a nursing home located in Stroud, Oklahoma, though the place is now permanently closed, but when it was open, it offered skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and memory care for older adults, with rooms that included private suites, shared rooms, and fully furnished accommodations, and you could find things like air-conditioning, internet, cable, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes in the rooms, plus private bathrooms for people who needed them, and some folks liked being able to go to the chapel, library, or the beauty salon and barbershop right on the premises. The center had 58 Medicare and Medicaid-certified beds and kept a staff of certified nurses, licensed medical practitioners, nursing assistants, and therapists on duty at all times, so residents got help with tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, and if a resident needed physical, speech, occupational, or even respiratory therapy, the team there would take care of it, sometimes using posture training, soft tissue mobilization, or electrical stimulation, depending on whatever the doctor decided was right. They ran an activities program with things like cooking groups, movie nights, spiritual services, art, magazines, and volunteers for people who had to stay in bed, and they served three meals a day in the dining room, prepared by a culinary team, with special diets provided for certain medical conditions. Housekeeping, linen, and transportation for doctor's visits were all covered, so residents could count on a clean place, fresh sheets, and a ride when they needed it, and the facility focused on keeping everyone safe, especially those with memory problems or medical disabilities who required constant supervision, with safety protocols to stop anyone from wandering off or getting lost. The staff included people like the office manager Connie Prewitt, human resources contact Maranda Cody, activities director Wanda Garrett, and administrator Cathy Wilson, and the facility worked as part of Care Providers Oklahoma. Each resident had an individualized care plan, and family members could rest easier knowing residents had 24-hour supervision, medication management, and round-the-clock care from skilled nurses, so whether someone needed short-term rehab, long-term care, respite care, help with daily living, or memory care, Stroud Health Care Center South tried to meet those needs while it was in operation, and they also kept mental wellness in mind for residents.
