It received one of the most impressive grades we offer. We were so impressed with this facility that we rated it as one of the 10 best nursing homes in Oklahoma. This nursing home also received very consistent grades in all four of the major categories. More information about its category grades can be found below.

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received an A+ nursing grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. Our nursing score consists of a handful of components, however, the paramount one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided 4.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which was among the highest totals we found. Finally, this facility also excelled in the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, it fared as well as any nursing home the nation when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as good measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided.

We also gave this nursing home a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. This nursing home's vaccination data were not as impressive as its nursing hours. It administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.789474 percent of its patients. We'd love to see some improvement in this area in the future. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety.

Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services.

On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.
