10 Best Nursing Homes in Dudley, OK

My mother was a resident of the Veraden assisted living facility for the last year of her life that ended May of 2024, The nursing staff at the Veraden are some of the most compassionate people I have ever met. However, the Senior management of the nursing staff was mediocre at best. I think this is why the turnover rate is very high and morale is often noticeably low. The facilities are nice but maintenance is often very slow to respond and requires multiple requests. The activities are second to none and are varied and high quality, The support staff are kind and friendly but there is an overriding problem of communication throughout all staff. The food quality is marginal, and the menu is rarely changed. it is evident that cost overrides quality and taste.

When I first contacted A Place for Mom I received a different room cost than what it actually starts at. The regional director was great, but after my mom was moved in, the costs I was told for her care changed by $XXX [amount removed] a month. Increased Hard to reach the facility after 5pm and the mailbox was always full. Not sure if that has been fixed.

Overall experience was fantastic, they are very attentive to the residents and the families. Everything was clean. Very nice and helpful. They were fantastic with my mom. If she didn't need more care she would have still been there. She loved the food. They always had something for the residents to do. The only issue I had was they were very expensive. I know the care for my mom had increased and they were not set up to care for her advanced dementia which was expensive. This is a great facility for assisted living, not at the stage my mom had gotten too, but they worked with me and help get her into a facility that was better suited for her.
