In the fourth quarter of 2023, Corn Heritage Village and Rehabilitation of Weatherford stood out as the third largest nursing home in Custer County, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 81 beds available, 13 less than the average in Custer County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 67.3 residents during that period.

Corn Heritage Village and Rehabilitation of Weatherford had an overall rating of 3 from the CMS, which is higher than the average of 2.7 recorded for nursing homes in Oklahoma.

During the quarter, Clinton Therapy and Living Center stood out as the largest nursing home in Custer County, with 101 beds available. River Valley Skilled Nursing and Therapy came in second place, with 100 beds available.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, Corn Heritage Village and Rehabilitation of Weatherford has already spent a total of $50,784 in three fines and suffered four penalties.

In total, there was one non-profit nursing home in Custer County, Oklahoma.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
