Size and setting
Located in Comanche, Oklahoma, this facility operates 63 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 39 residents - an occupancy rate of about 62%. The facility is classified under for profit - individual ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy.

Same-ownership peers
Within Oklahoma, Meridian Nursing Home is one of 42 for profit - individual nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the for profit - individual-segment average of 2.5 stars, ahead of roughly 74% of same-ownership peers in the state.

Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
