Overview

Quail Ridge Living Center, located in Colcord, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not outstanding. It ranks #126 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and #3 out of 5 in Delaware County, meaning there are only two local options rated higher. However, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with reported issues increasing from 6 in 2023 to 9 in 2024. Staffing is a relative strength, with a turnover rate of 38%, which is well below the state average, suggesting that staff are more likely to stay and build relationships with residents. While there are no fines recorded, the facility has faced concerns, such as failing to notify residents of their rights regarding arbitration agreements and not providing written notices prior to transfers or discharges for some residents. Additionally, there were days without RN coverage, which is concerning as it may affect the quality of care. Overall, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses when considering this facility for their loved ones.
