Sulphur Veterans Center

The Sulphur Veterans Center is located on a 17-acre site in Southern Oklahoma's outdoor paradise. The Center overlooks the Chickasaw National Recreations Area, one of Oklahoma's most beautiful areas. The Lake of the Arbuckle's, Turner Falls and the Arbuckle Mountains are all located in the immediate area. The original buildings at the center were constructed in 1921 as a tuberculosis sanatorium for veterans. The Center once provided general medical hospital care including surgery, coronary care, and dialysis treatment. Since that time these beds have been converted to nursing care beds for Oklahoma's war-time heroes.

In 1984 a construction project was completed adding a new dietary and central storage building to the facility, featuring a dining room with a full glass northern exposure overlooking the scenic Chickasaw National Recreation Area. In September of 2000 a $4.9 million construction project was completed adding a new two-story structure with the capacity for 60 long-term nursing care beds. The new wing provided two 30-bed units with both private and semi-private rooms to replace the 1920's barracks style open wards and bring the Center into the twenty-first century. One unit has been designed to accommodate veterans with special needs. In December, 2010 Phase I of a $19.5 million dollar project was completed with a capacity for 62 nursing care beds.  This building replaces 1920’s and 1950’s era buildings.  Phase 2 is expected to be completed by the end of the year 2011.The total capacity of Sulphur Veterans Center is now 132 nursing care beds.

Based on the veterans' individual needs, long-term skilled nursing and medical care is provided by a full time medical staff, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nurse Aides, Licensed Social Workers, Pharmacist, Laboratory Technologists, Certified Dietary Managers as well as numerous support staff. Therapeutic recreational activities are also provided. Residents enjoy outings in the surrounding community, including fishing trips, bowling, and shopping trips.
