Brookdale Bartlesville South
Brookdale Bartlesville South offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Bartlesville, OK. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with daily tasks. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing, also called nursing home care here, provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
As a continuing care retirement community, Brookdale Bartlesville South brings several care levels together. This may suit a resident whose needs grow over time and who may be able to move within the community rather than start over elsewhere. The community has 119 beds, and suite accommodations are available. Six hours of nurse staffing per resident per day represents the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can help cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help when personal savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly. The community allows pets, so a resident may be able to bring a pet when moving in. A fitness center and therapy room, transportation, outings, a café and bistro, a beauty and barber shop, and a courtyard and garden give residents places for exercise or therapy related activities, organized trips, meals or refreshments, personal grooming, and outdoor time. With a Walk Score of 39, the area is car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride.
