Oklahoma Methodist Manor hopes to start building soon on a $22 million expansion plan. The expansion will replace some of the oldest buildings on the Methodist Manor campus, and add some capacity to the continuum of care.

It’s another step in a master plan and modernization; replacing some original buildings including the assisted living center and the main kitchen.

Methodist Manor serves about 400 residents now, and the improvements will match other recent additions at Methodist manor. A three-story assisted living center will be built in the center of the campus. Two, one-story homes of 12 accommodations each will be added to serve people who are living with dementia.

“People living with the mid-stage of dementia, who are battling the complications associated with behaviors like wandering and anxiety will be better served in these specialized households,” said Steve Dickie, CEO.

Methodist Manor is $1.4 million away from the fundraising goal. Construction will begin when the goal is reached.
