Who runs the nursing homes in Mayes County?
All four facilities are for-profit, and CMS ownership data lists every one of them under the same chain, identified as BGM Estate. Each has been certified by Medicare and Medicaid since the late 1990s. When every home in a county shares an operator, it can help to look at the chain’s record as a whole along with each facility’s own inspection history.
How does Mayes County compare to the rest of Oklahoma?
Mayes County has about 1.4 percent of Oklahoma’s certified nursing homes and received 1.3 percent of the state’s immediate jeopardy citations over the last three years, so its share of serious findings tracks its size. Star ratings run lower than the state average. Three of the county’s four facilities hold two stars, compared with half of rated facilities statewide. The homes are also less full. On an average day they use about 52 percent of their certified beds, compared with 63 percent across Oklahoma.

Which Mayes County nursing homes have the most serious citation records?
None of the four currently displays the CMS abuse icon, and none is on the Special Focus list. The table orders them by the seriousness of their inspection findings over the last three years. These are official findings on specific dates. They describe what surveyors documented at the facility and do not describe the circumstances of any individual resident.
| Facility | City | Immed. jeopardy | Actual harm | Abuse / neglect | Total citations | Overall stars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meadowbrook Nursing Center | Chouteau | 1 | 0 | 2 | 21 | 2 |
| Shady Rest Care Center | Pryor | 1 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 2 |
| Parkhill North Nursing Home | Salina | 0 | 0 | 3 | 16 | 2 |
| Colonial Terrace Care Center | Pryor | 0 | 0 | 0 | 9 | 3 |
What were Mayes County nursing homes cited for?
Quality of life and care and resident rights tied as the most common categories, with 10 citations each. Nutrition and dietary services came next with 9, followed by resident assessment and care planning with 8.
Both immediate jeopardy citations fell under the same federal requirement, which says a facility must keep its environment free of accident hazards and supervise residents closely enough to prevent accidents. Inspectors cited Shady Rest Care Center in Pryor in July 2025 and Meadowbrook Nursing Center in Chouteau in March 2026. That requirement is the one that applies to most falls, and our guide to nursing home fall lawsuits in Oklahoma explains how those cases work.
Thirteen of the county’s 59 citations came from complaint inspections, which happen when someone reports a concern to the state and inspectors come out to look into it.
How do staffing and inspections compare across Mayes County homes?
Staffing is one of the easier numbers to compare between facilities. CMS reports total nurse staffing hours per resident per day and the share of nursing staff who left over the past year. Across Oklahoma, the average is 3.79 staffing hours per resident per day with 55.5 percent turnover.
| Facility | Nurse staffing hours per resident per day | Nursing staff turnover | Most recent standard inspection | Federal fines |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meadowbrook Nursing Center | 3.26 | 48.4% | Mar 2026 | $14,069 |
| Shady Rest Care Center | 3.89 | 57.1% | Aug 2024 | $14,069 |
| Parkhill North Nursing Home | 3.48 | 38.1% | Dec 2025 | None |
| Colonial Terrace Care Center | Not reported | 55.0% | Apr 2026 | None |
Staffing hours and turnover are self-reported payroll figures published by CMS. Colonial Terrace Care Center did not have a staffing figure in the October 2026 release.
How do I look up a specific Mayes County nursing home?
Medicare’s Care Compare site has a public profile for each of the four facilities, with star ratings, staffing, the date of the most recent inspection, every citation issued, and any fines. Inspections in Oklahoma are carried out by the Oklahoma State Department of Health on behalf of CMS, and the department also takes complaints about care. Each facility name in the tables on this page links to its Care Compare profile.

Data sources. Figures come from the CMS Provider Data Catalog, nursing homes theme, October 2026 release (Provider Information and Health Deficiencies files). CMS data is in the public domain. Citation counts labeled “last three years” cover surveys dated November 2023 through July 2026. Star ratings, staffing figures, chain affiliation, and abuse icon status reflect the October 2026 release and change with each monthly CMS refresh. A citation is a finding about a facility on a specific date and is not a determination about any individual resident.

Not necessarily. A citation is what inspectors found at a facility on a particular date. Whether your family member was harmed, and whether anyone is legally responsible, depends on their own medical records, the timing, and what happened to them specifically.
