While the facility's trend is improving, having reduced the number of issues from 23 in 2024 to 15 in 2025, it still faces serious challenges, including a concerning 76% staff turnover rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the facility has accumulated $64,954 in fines, indicating compliance issues that are higher than 88% of other Oklahoma facilities, and it has less RN coverage than 86% of state homes, which raises concerns about the quality of care provided. There have been critical incidents reported, including a resident being sexually assaulted and another resident being unsupervised despite a known history of suicide attempts, highlighting serious safety risks that families should carefully consider.

About This Facility

What is Edmond Health Care Center's CMS Rating?

CMS assigns Edmond Health Care Center an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much 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 Edmond Health Care Center Staffed?

CMS rates Edmond Health Care Center's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 76%, which is 30 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 Edmond Health Care Center?

State health inspectors documented 53 deficiencies at Edmond Health Care Center during 2021 to 2025. These included: 3 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 49 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 Edmond Health Care Center?

Edmond Health Care Center 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 109 certified beds and approximately 77 residents (about 71% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in Edmond, Oklahoma.

How Does Edmond Health Care Center Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, Edmond Health Care Center's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (76%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Edmond Health Care Center?

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?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.

Is Edmond Health Care Center Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, Edmond Health Care Center has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 3 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility is currently on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes nationwide). The facility has a 1-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 Edmond Health Care Center Stick Around?

Staff turnover at Edmond Health Care Center is high. At 76%, the facility is 30 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 Edmond Health Care Center Ever Fined?

Edmond Health Care Center has been fined $64,954 across 8 penalty actions. This is above the Oklahoma average of $33,728. Fines in this range indicate compliance issues significant enough for CMS to impose meaningful financial consequences. Common causes include delayed correction of deficiencies, repeat violations, or care failures affecting resident safety. Families should ask facility leadership what changes have been made since these penalties.

Is Edmond Health Care Center on Any Federal Watch List?

Edmond Health Care Center is currently an SFF Candidate, meaning CMS has identified it as potentially qualifying for the Special Focus Facility watch list. SFF Candidates have a history of serious deficiencies but haven't yet reached the threshold for full SFF designation. The facility is being monitored more closely — if problems continue, it may be added to the official watch list. Families should ask what the facility is doing to address the issues that led to this status.
