What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★☆☆☆☆1/5 · CMS overall rating: 1/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Actual harm, one-off · Apr 9, 2025 · F-0684 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not provide treatment and care that follows the doctor's orders and matches the resident's own preferences and goals.
Why it matters: Care that strays from doctor's orders or ignores the resident's wishes can lead to declining health and avoidable harm.
Severity (G): One or a few residents were actually harmed — physically or emotionally — though not put in immediate danger of serious injury or death.
Corrected: May 5, 2025 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Oklahoma avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 3.76 | 4.58 | 3.95 | bottom 11% in Oklahoma; bottom 50% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.45 | 0.41 | 0.69 | top 35% in Oklahoma; bottom 30% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.39 | 4.16 | 3.50 | bottom 12% in Oklahoma; top 48% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.41 | 0.28 | 0.48 | top 13% in Oklahoma; top 47% in the U.S. |

| RN turnover (%) | 42.9 | 53.6 | 42.9 | top 34% in Oklahoma; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.33, RN 0.40, weekend 3.00. Staffing rating: 2/5.
