Heritage Park in Bethany, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and a poor overall assessment. It ranks #167 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half, and #22 out of 39 in Oklahoma County, meaning only one local option is rated worse. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 10 in 2023 to 13 in 2024.

While there are some strengths, like average RN coverage, the overall performance and safety concerns are significant factors for families to consider.

About This Facility
What is Heritage Park's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns HERITAGE PARK an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Oklahoma, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Heritage Park Staffed?
CMS rates HERITAGE PARK's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 65%, which is 19 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 100%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Heritage Park?
State health inspectors documented 25 deficiencies at HERITAGE PARK during 2022 to 2024. These included: 1 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death) and 24 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Heritage Park?
HERITAGE PARK is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 55 certified beds and approximately 42 residents (about 76% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in BETHANY, Oklahoma.
How Does Heritage Park Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, HERITAGE PARK's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (65%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Heritage Park?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Heritage Park Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, HERITAGE PARK has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 1 Immediate Jeopardy citation (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Heritage Park Stick Around?
Staff turnover at HERITAGE PARK is high. At 65%, the facility is 19 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. 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 Heritage Park Ever Fined?
HERITAGE PARK has been fined $7,834 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,157. 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 Heritage Park on Any Federal Watch List?
HERITAGE PARK 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.
