Thunder Care and Rehab

Thunder Care and Rehab sits over on North Broadway Street in Moore, Oklahoma, and you'll see right away that the place has been working in health care for over 50 years, with a staff of RNs, LPNs, CMAs, and CNAs who know what they're doing and treat everyone with respect-people say it's friendly and clean, with meals, daily help, and options for nursing home care or short-term rehab if you need to recover after a hospital stay, and you'll find studio-style rooms for residents, which is pretty standard for this kind of facility, but what makes it a little different is the way they run annual events, like a Fall Festival and holiday gatherings, so there's some effort in building a sense of community. The skilled nursing facility's licensed for 154 beds, it's got Medicare and Medicaid certification, and though the overall rating is 4 out of 10 stars, which puts it as the third-highest in Moore, the staff keep up with basic needs, offering different therapies and medical treatments-things like oxygen, IV therapy, colostomy care, enteral feeding, and specialized care for wounds, diabetes, heart issues, psychiatric and respiratory needs, tracheotomies, and post-op recovery, with a focus on checking the heart, lungs, skin, bowel, and other systems regularly. Residents get activities, housekeeping, group gatherings, pharmacy and lab help, mental health support, and therapy options; CNAs handle about two hours of daily hands-on care per resident, plus LPN and RN support, and while there's physical therapy available, it's not a big part of the day-to-day care minutes. You'll also see email communication for easy updates, see familiar names like Courtney Dove as the nursing director, Jessica Mitchell as the administrator, and Casey Williams as the operations officer, and the place makes a point to encourage independence and dignity, balancing health needs with a bit of normal daily life through things like leisure activities that meet physical, emotional, and even spiritual needs. Thunder Care and Rehab operates under different names at different places-like Accel at Crystal Park, Ada Care Center, and Aspen Health & Rehab-so folks looking for nursing or rehab in the area will find a range of options, though most of what's on offer matches what you'd expect from a traditional nursing home, serving older adults who need intermediate or higher levels of ongoing care, and the setup is well-suited for both long-term stays and those shorter rehab visits when someone's not quite ready to head straight home from the hospital.
