Which Oklahoma County nursing homes have the most serious citation records?
The facilities below are ordered by the seriousness of their inspection findings over the last three years. Five facilities account for 13 of the county’s 28 immediate jeopardy citations. Immediate jeopardy means inspectors determined the facility’s failure had caused or was likely to cause serious harm. 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.
Are any Oklahoma County facilities flagged by CMS?
Seven facilities in the county currently display the CMS abuse icon on Care Compare. CMS applies that icon when a facility has been cited for abuse that caused harm, or abuse that could have caused harm, within a recent inspection window. One Oklahoma County facility is designated as a Special Focus Facility, meaning CMS has identified a persistent record of poor performance, and two more are on the Special Focus candidate list. These designations change as facilities are re-inspected.
How do I look up a specific Oklahoma County nursing home?
Every certified facility has a public inspection record on Medicare’s Care Compare site. Search by facility name or by an Oklahoma County ZIP code to see its star ratings, staffing hours, most recent inspection date, every citation issued, and any fines. The underlying data files are free to download from the CMS Provider Data Catalog.
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 in licensed facilities. If you would rather not sort through the records yourself, we can pull the full history for any Oklahoma County facility and explain what the findings say.

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 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.
