Share Medical Center sits in Alva, Oklahoma, and offers a wide mix of services for older adults who need help with daily life, whether someone wants independent living, assisted living, memory care, or full nursing home care, and it has options for both private suites and shared rooms, all with air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and full furnishings, with studio layouts available too, so you won't have to worry about bringing much except your personal things. The center's senior living areas offer help with meals, laundry, housekeeping, medication management, transportation to appointments, and 24-hour call and supervision, and if you need nursing care, you'll find round-the-clock help from a team that includes certified nurses, licensed doctors, medical assistants, and physical therapists, plus staff like Steve Madrid, PA-C, Gwyn Holderby, APRN, Jennifer Nichols, APRN, Dr. Scott Burk, MD, and Dr. Chris Burk, MD. Safety measures, like secured spaces and a focus on preventing wandering, can give a bit of peace for folks with memory loss or confusion. The community has services like memory care, respite stays, continuing care, and even home care, so families can choose what's best.
There are activities for folks to do and staff to help coordinate them, as well as programs to help people improve after illness with restorative care and hospital-based rehab services, plus a Swing Bed Program for those who need extra recovery time before heading home and short-term care for rehabilitation, though it's worth noting their nursing home section has a 1-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so families might want to check the latest reports on care standards. Alongside the main facility, Share Medical Center runs The Homestead and maintains multiple clinics, including a downtown clinic, and can provide primary care, specialty services, telehealth consultations, and even urgent care that's open all day, every day, throughout the year, as well as a regular urgent care clinic open Monday through Saturday if immediate help's needed. Diagnostic services like laboratory tests, radiology and imaging, and on-site rehab and occupational health support are all available, and a patient portal lets people track their records and health information online. Other services like on-site dental care, massage therapy, beauty shop, and nail services mean folks don't have to go far for basic needs, and transportation can be arranged even for out-of-town medical visits if needed.
Share Medical Center supports its seniors with routines like regular meals, linen changes, daily activities, and easy access to phones, internet, cable, and Wifi. There's a guide for visitors, staff available for tours, and senior care advocates to answer questions about the community. The center connects with SSM Health and runs outreach programs too. It serves as both a hospital and retirement community with regular access to doctors, surgery, emergency and urgent care, and coordinated services to help seniors manage their ongoing health.
