Sheridan Medical Lodge in Burkburnett operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing home care. Registered and licensed vocational nurses are on duty around the clock to deliver wound management, IV therapy, post-surgical monitoring, and complex medication administration. The clinical team develops individualized care plans for residents recovering from strokes, cardiac events, orthopedic surgeries, or chronic conditions that require continuous medical oversight.
In addition to 24-hour nursing, the facility maintains an on-site therapy department that offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy up to seven days a week. Respiratory therapy, pharmacy review, and lab services are coordinated through the medical director and a network of on-call physicians and nurse practitioners. Electronic medical records track vitals and physician orders, while social services staff handle discharge planning and help residents access community resources. Assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, grooming, and mobility, rounds out the care provided.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms furnished with adjustable beds, accessible bathrooms, and individual temperature controls. Some rooms add extras such as small sitting areas or limited kitchenette features, but not all accommodations have all the features, so confirming specific room details during a visit is recommended. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are included, and residents have access to common lounges, landscaped courtyards, and therapy gyms for recreation and family visits.
Dining services offer three chef-prepared meals each day under the supervision of a registered dietitian, with menus modified for therapeutic or texture-altered diets like diabetic, cardiac, or mechanical-soft. Residents who need help eating receive one-on-one assistance, and tray delivery is available for those choosing to dine in their rooms. Snacks are provided between meals, and seasonal menu reviews or resident food discussions help keep selections varied, though not every item appears at every meal.
