LAKELAND MANOR, INC
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Lakeland Manor, Inc. has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but still has room for improvement. It ranks #60 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 4 in Carter County, meaning there is only one nearby option that is better. The facility is currently improving, having reduced its issues from three in 2024 to two in 2025. Staffing is a concern with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars and a high turnover rate of 84%, significantly above the state average of 55%. There are also $17,063 in fines, higher than 76% of Oklahoma facilities, suggesting ongoing compliance issues. On the positive side, the facility provides average RN coverage, which is important for monitoring residents’ health. However, there have been serious incidents that raise concerns. For example, food was served at an unsafe temperature, risking burns for a resident, and there was a failure to fully investigate an allegation of abuse involving another resident. Additionally, after a resident experienced a fall, there was no documentation that their physician or family was notified, which is critical for ensuring proper care. Overall, while there are strengths in certain areas, families should be cautious and consider these weaknesses when choosing a nursing home.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Lakeland Manor, Inc?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Lakeland Manor, Inc Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, LAKELAND MANOR, INC has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Lakeland Manor, Inc Stick Around?
Staff turnover at LAKELAND MANOR, INC is high. At 84%, the facility is 38 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 86%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Lakeland Manor, Inc Ever Fined?
LAKELAND MANOR, INC has been fined $17,063 across 2 penalty actions. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,250. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Lakeland Manor, Inc on Any Federal Watch List?
LAKELAND MANOR, INC is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
