Gregston's Nursing and Rehab sits at 711 S Broadway St in Marlow, OK, and has been part of the community since 1957, offering care for folks who need nursing home services, assisted living, rehabilitation, or long-term care, and since it's family-owned, you do tend to see the same faces around which can help with a sense of routine and comfort for residents who stay. This facility's run by a for-profit corporation, and isn't part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), and Jillian Gregston is the administrator in charge. There are 96 total beds, though only 43 are certified skilled nursing beds for Medicare and Medicaid; the facility takes both as payment options, which can help ease the burden for some families.
Residents at Gregston's get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, getting around, and there's medication management in place, so folks don't have to worry about missing a dose. The nurses and staff provide 24/7 nursing care, and while there's always someone there to help in an emergency or for general supervision, the medical focus isn't so tight as to have constant monitoring for every resident, which suits people who're a bit more mobile but still need a hand here and there. The facility has private rooms with their own bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, plus a few private homes for those who want a little more independence. Meals are made in a dining room with all-day dining, and they accommodate allergies and special diets like for diabetes, and there's a professional chef overseeing the kitchen.
Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are all on offer, which keeps things running smoothly day to day, and transportation's available along with parking for residents who still drive or get visitors often. Gregston's has some nice spaces for folks to enjoy, including a garden, walking paths, a fitness room, spa/wellness room, and game room, plus a movie theater, arts and craft rooms, and a library for quieter afternoons. There are lots of recreational programs, social events, and family support services throughout the year, with resident-led activities and scheduled daily programs, and regular holiday gatherings and even visits from the larger Marlow community, which helps people feel connected.
The care options cover a wide range, from short-term rehabilitation for folks just leaving the hospital, to long-term stays for those with more complex needs, including intermediate care for people who're a bit frailer and need more help. A round-the-clock call system helps keep residents safe, and support is tailored to each person depending on what's needed, with nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists all as part of the staff. Residents can leave the property independently if they want, and the staff tries to create a space where loved ones can thrive, with comfort and well-being always in mind. There's a Facebook page for those wanting more updates on daily life at Gregston's, and the facility keeps a steady focus on thoughtful, hands-on care for people at a variety of health and mobility levels.
