Oklahoma Veterans Center

As an employee and an R.N. with extensive 42 years in floor Nurse,Management and Psychiatric Nursing, I see this as a waistful distruction of an excellent facility. I seen Political pushes to close it for a longe time. I have evaluated numerous Nusing Home facilities and this was a great historical facility,no matter the accidents and propaganda, was a very excellent care center. One that I would want to be able to go to myself, if ever the occasion warranted. Massisive work was done on this center. The dementia facility was excellent and more beautiful than anyone I have seen.
All I can say is this movement and cost was not Necessary and a waistful use of Tax payer money. When you investigate the situation deeply ,you need to follow the Money!!!! If it is so bad ,why does it have 4.5 rating. Staffing was only a problem because of all the statements of closing it and then pushing the Physicians that live on campus to pay large amounts for houses that had previously received as compensatioons package, for being available 24 hrs a day.. The last lady governor, closed one V.A. facility and her brother bought it.I have seen very few facilities more tranquil for Veterans than Talihina V.A....

I enjoy seeing ground kept so beautifully! In a country that honours its veterans its refreshing to know there are places like this for those who deserve our utmost respect for these fellow citizens to enjoy!!

Nothing is impossible with GOD. Keep praying the Center doesn't move or another option is presented to keep residents and/or employees needed.

Such a beautiful serene place on top of the world!

I happened to drive by the center on my way to explore local lakes or a little night photography. I had not been to a veterans center like this before but being a vet myself, decided to take a quick drive through. I was fortunate to make that choice because I notices how much of a small town it appeared as. This would be a veteran's enjoyment I would think. There were several business type building along with the visitors center although I din't have time to really stop and view much. I was interested in the Harper building on the south edge but again didn't have time ti stop and explore. I am leaving a couple of pictures though.

I drove to you yesterday was looking for land to put a cabin on Brandon to this Veterans Hospital very strange this building was old and run-down apparently there was a newer building up on the hill signs were saying be quiet when you drive through here I'm going to do more research on this place very interesting
