Overview

Calera Manor has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerns regarding care quality. It ranks #214 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half, and #3 out of 5 in Bryan County, meaning there are only two better options nearby. The facility is showing improvement, as issues decreased from 11 in 2024 to 3 in 2025. Staffing is a concern with only one star out of five and less RN coverage than 97% of facilities in the state, which could affect the quality of care residents receive. Specific incidents include a failure to submit resident assessments on time and not having a registered nurse on staff consistently, which raises potential risks for residents. However, it's worth noting that the facility has not incurred any fines, and their staff turnover rate is slightly better than the state average.

**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to include the recommendations from a preadmission assessment and resident review (PASARR) level II for one (#9) of 28 residents whose assessments and care plans were reviewed. The facility identified two residents with PASARR level II evaluations who resided in the facility. Findings: The facility utilized the Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) manual as the facility policy on assessments. The RAI manual documented individuals who have or are suspected to have mental illness or related conditions should not have been admitted to a Medicaid-certified nursing facility unless approved through Level II PASARR determination. The RAI manual documented those residents covered by Level II PASARR process might require certain care and services provided by the nursing home, and/or specialized services provided by the State. The RAI manual documented the Level II PASARR determination and evaluation report would specify services to be provided by the nursing home and/or specialized services defined by the State. Resident #9 was admitted to the facility on [DATE] and had diagnoses which included schizoaffective disorder, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. A PASARR level I, dated 10/28/20, documented the resident had a diagnosis of serious mental illness, a PASARR level II had been completed, and the facility could admit her. An admission assessment, dated 10/31/20, documented the resident was cognitively intact, required limited assistance with most activities of daily living needs, and required psychotropic medications. The admission assessment documented the resident did not have a serious mental illness and did not have a PASARR level II assessment completed. On 08/30/21 at 12:08 PM, resident #9 was observed entering the dining room for the lunch meal. On 08/31/21 at 3:05 PM, corporate nurse (CN) #1 reported the facility did not have a copy of resident #9's PASARR level II assessment and evaluation on file in the facility. At that time, CN #2 confirmed resident #9's PASARR level II recommendations would not have been incorporated into the resident's plan of care. On 09/01/21 at 2:11 PM, the minimum data set coordinator reported she did not request resident #9's PASARR level II when the resident was admitted . She stated she misunderstood the question related to PASARR level I and II and coded the admission assessment incorrectly.

How Does Calera Manor Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, Calera Manor's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (51%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Calera Manor?

Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.

Is Calera Manor Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, Calera Manor 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 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma.

Was Calera Manor Ever Fined?

Calera Manor has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Calera Manor on Any Federal Watch List?

Calera Manor 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.
