The Living Center

The Living Center in Enid, Oklahoma, sits at 1409 North 17th Street and gives seniors several care choices, including nursing care, assisted living, and Alzheimer's care, and it's really the kind of place where you notice they've set things up for folks who need a higher level of help than you'll find at many assisted living places, so you'll see things like a secured environment with areas to keep residents safe, especially those who have trouble with memory or are at risk of wandering, and there's a big focus on making sure everyone's getting the support they need with medication, bathing, dressing, eating, mobility, and pretty much all the important personal care parts of life, plus there's help with laundry, housekeeping, meal prep, and plenty of different menu options, including three home-cooked meals daily and special diets for people dealing with diabetes or high blood pressure. The facility holds a 2-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and has an average rating of 4.7 out of 10, and they accept Medicare and Medicaid insurance. Rooms come as private suites or shared styles, each with its own bathroom, telephone, and furniture, so if you like having your own space or prefer sharing, both options are there, and the place has air conditioning, WiFi, internet, and cable for comfort. The Living Center features a barber and beauty shop right on site, and mobile stylists come in for anyone needing regular grooming, and there's a reading room, hot tub, steam room or fitness area, and different outdoor spaces including gardens and walking paths for stretching your legs or some fresh air. Residents pick from a range of studio room layouts, and can join in daily activities, movie nights, music and animal therapy, board games, and outside trips, along with wellness and exercise programs to stay active. Staff, including certified nurses, medical practitioners, nursing assistants, and physical therapists, are there 24/7, and the whole place keeps a close eye on safety and supervision with a reliable call system. The Living Center is equipped for non-ambulatory care, transfer help, and provides short-term rehab for folks who need time between the hospital and home. The facility offers coordination with outside healthcare providers, helps set up transportation for medical visits and spiritual outings, and runs Alzheimer's programs and therapies for people coping with memory loss. There are 32 out of 50 beds certified, and the for-profit facility runs under a limited liability company.
