This facility is a "for profit" 155-certified bed long term care center providing cares and services to residents of Holdenville and Hughes County, Oklahoma. The Medicare and Medicaid-participating home is located at:
1600 East Highway
Holdenville, Oklahoma 74848

State surveyors and federal investigators can penalize nursing homes by denying payment for Medicare services or imposing monetary fines if the facility has been cited for a serious violation of a regulation or rule that harmed or could have harmed residents.
The nursing home also received four complaints over the last three years that resulted in a violation citation. Additional documentation about fines and penalties can be found on the Oklahoma Long Term Care Provider Inspection Search Website.
The state of Oklahoma and federal government nursing home regulatory agencies routinely update their care home database system. This list contains historical information of all citations and violations.
According to Medicare, this facility maintains an overall rating of one out of five stars, including two out of five stars concerning health inspections, one out of five stars for staffing issues and three out of five stars for quality measures.
The nursing home “failed to ensure an allegation of abuse was reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Adult Protective Services, and the Nurse Aide Registry for [one resident] reviewed for allegations of abuse.” At the time of the incident, forty-eight residents were living in the facility.
The survey team reviewed an allegation of abuse investigation form dated July 18, 2018, related to [the resident and a Certified Medication Aide that] was not reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, Adult Protective Services, or the Nurse Aide Registry. Documentation shows the facility, or the survey team did not substantiate the allegation.
The surveyors reviewed a resident’s Care Plan dated July 20, 2018, showing that the resident “had intervals of behaviors and had episodes of false accusations, yelling, threatening staff, or rejected care. The Care Plan documented to allow the resident time to talk about behaviors and explain behaviors while providing a safe and comfortable home environment.”
The resident’s Care Plan documented to assign “consistent staff to provide care to lessen the episode of negative and to notify the Physician of behaviors.” The survey team asked the Administrator “was the allegation reported to the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Nurse Aide Registry, and Adult Protective Services.” The Administrator responded that “it was not reported.”
According to state investigators, “it was determined the facility failed to maintain an infection control program to provide sanitary conditions for the residents. The facility failed to ensure hand hygiene was performed when assisting residents and failed to provide sanitary conditions when dispensing medications.”
The surveyors observed the Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) assisting a resident with a meal who failed to perform adequate hand hygiene when assisting, exposing the resident the potential infection. In a different observation, the surveyor saw a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) touching a resident’s care while feeding the resident.
The CNA then “touched another resident’s fork with their right hand and touched the fried green tomato while cutting it up on the resident’s plate. The CNA was then observed to feed another resident without performing hand hygiene.”
A few minutes later, the same CNA was observed “wiping her own eye with her right hand and then picked up a napkin to remove food from the resident shirt. The CNA was not observed to perform hand hygiene before returning to assist another resident.”
