The local hospital system is Norman Regional Health System, which lists Norman Regional Hospital, Norman Regional Moore and Norman Regional Nine among its locations. For many Cleveland County patients, a hospital stay there comes right before rehab or home health. If you take Norman Regional discharges, say so on your rehab page, and describe the therapy and nursing you provide in specifics a case manager can use.
Norman's numbers skew young. Only 17.0% of residents are under 18, compared with 23.2% statewide, and the share of people who lived in the same house a year earlier is 75.9%, lower than the state's 85.6%. For a care provider that means the person searching is often an adult child, sometimes living in Moore, Oklahoma City or out of state. Write your pages so someone who has never toured can understand pricing, payment and admissions from a phone.
The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs runs a veterans home in Norman, listed as memory care only. Veterans' families in the area often know about it, so if you serve veterans, explain the VA benefits you accept and how you compare on memory care. Remember that Oklahoma law requires facilities that offer specialized memory care through a unit or program to post their dementia special care disclosure form on their website.
