Medicare Part ANursing & rehab · Duncan, Oklahoma
Bud still runs the grill every Fourth.
A 110-bed nursing and rehab center in north Duncan: therapy six days a week, nurses who stay and a calendar that never lets a holiday slip by.
Who we are
Good nursing, a full calendar and a lot of folks who know your name.
Duncan is an oil-field and ranch town, and the people who live at Whittington built it: roughnecks and Halliburton engineers, schoolteachers, ranchers and the women who ran the church kitchens. They don't want to sit in a hallway. They want something to do, someone to talk to and a reason to put on a good shirt.
So we keep the calendar full. The Fourth of July cookout, the Chisholm Trail parade, the stock show, the fish fry, Christmas caroling by the high school choir. Underneath all of it is serious nursing: RNs and LPNs on every hall, a wound nurse, an IV team, a nurse practitioner on site and therapists who get people home. We do both, every day, because people deserve both.

From Whittington families
Eighteen days after my hip, I walked out to my truck on my own. Kevin had me practicing climbing into the cab.
Dad ran the grill at our church for thirty years. They hand him the spatula every Fourth. He's the happiest man in Stephens County that day.
Tamara calls me herself when anything changes with Mom. Not a voicemail, her.
My husband's wound had been open for months. Rosa had it closed in six weeks and showed me the measurements every Monday.
Discharged from the hospital on a Sunday. Hannah answered on the first ring and had a suite ready that afternoon.
Mama rode the parade float in a tiara. Half of Duncan waved at her.
The dominoes club is the most competitive thing in the building. Dad wouldn't miss it.
They helped us with the SoonerCare application line by line. We'd been stuck for months.
After my stroke, speech, OT and PT all met together about me. I was home in five weeks.
Night shift is where you find out about a place. Mei and her aides are wonderful at three in the morning.
When Granddad passed, the chaplain and two aides were with him and called us right away.
