Overview of Meridian Nursing Home Meridian Nursing Home is a nursing home in Comanche, Oklahoma, offering hospice care, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care offers supervision in a secured setting for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care supports residents with end-of-life needs, and respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away. These care options may suit a resident who needs ongoing nursing support, memory supervision, or a temporary placement during a caregiver’s travel or recovery.
The home has 63 beds, with total nurse staffing of 4 hours and 4 minutes per resident each day. That figure represents the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available in the rehabilitation unit, so residents can receive these services at the home rather than arranging outside transportation.
Restaurant-style dining, in-room dining, special diets, and dietitian-guided menus give residents choices that can accommodate individual dietary needs. Beautician and salon services are available on site, and a patio provides an outdoor area to use. Active resident councils, fitness and stretching activities, musical performances, gardening, religious meetings, and field trips offer structured ways to participate in exercise, entertainment, worship, and community activities. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay: Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help a family whose savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay uses personal funds. Meridian Nursing Home is operated by Elmbrook Homes.
