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)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jan 22, 2026 · F-0656 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not develop or follow a complete care plan for each resident — the written roadmap covering all of a resident's needs, with measurable goals and timelines.
Why it matters: Without a complete, working care plan, important needs can slip through the cracks and no one is accountable for results.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.
Corrected: Jan 23, 2026 (Deficient, Provider has date of correction)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Jan 22, 2026 · F-0689 · triggered by a complaint
The facility did not keep the environment free of accident hazards, or did not provide enough supervision to prevent accidents like falls.
Why it matters: This is one of the most common citations and directly relates to falls and injuries, which can be devastating for older adults.

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) | 3.58 | 4.58 | 3.95 | bottom 5% in Oklahoma; bottom 40% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.18 | 0.41 | 0.69 | bottom 8% in Oklahoma; bottom 2% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 3.37 | 4.16 | 3.50 | bottom 11% in Oklahoma; top 49% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.16 | 0.28 | 0.48 | bottom 14% in Oklahoma; bottom 6% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 66.7 | 55.5 | 45.8 | bottom 22% in Oklahoma; bottom 8% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 83.3 | 53.6 | 42.9 | bottom 16% in Oklahoma; bottom 4% 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 3.09, RN 0.15, weekend 2.91. Staffing rating: 1/5.
Self-reported quality measures
Note: these ratings are based on data the facility reports about itself to CMS. They are not independently verified by inspectors, and can look better than inspection findings. Give more weight to the inspection results above.
Quality measures rating: 1/5 · long-stay residents: 2/5 · short-stay residents: 1/5
