Overview

El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average, sitting in the middle of the pack for nursing homes. It ranks #100 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, indicating it is in the top half, but it is #4 out of 5 in Canadian County, so there is one local option that is better. The facility shows an improving trend, with the number of issues decreasing from 8 in 2023 to 5 in 2024. However, staffing is a concern, rated only 1 out of 5 stars with a high turnover rate of 67%, significantly above the state average. Additionally, the center has received $9,750 in fines, which is average compared to its peers, but it's important to note that it has less RN coverage than 76% of Oklahoma facilities, potentially impacting care quality. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include a failure to ensure dietary staff were competent to serve specialized diets for residents, which raises concerns about meal safety and nutrition. The facility also did not complete a required assessment for its operations, indicating a lack of adherence to necessary protocols. While there are strengths in the quality measures and health inspections, families should consider both the improving trend and the concerning staffing issues when evaluating this facility for their loved ones.

This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.

How is El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center Staffed?

CMS rates EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 67%, which is 21 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 67%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

What Have Inspectors Found at El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center?

State health inspectors documented 25 deficiencies at EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER during 2019 to 2024. These included: 25 with potential for harm.

Who Owns and Operates El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center?

EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION 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 66 certified beds and approximately 46 residents (about 70% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in EL RENO, Oklahoma.

How Does El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER's overall rating (3 stars) is above the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (67%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (4 stars) is above the national benchmark.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center?

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 El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER 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 3-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 El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center Stick Around?

Staff turnover at EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER is high. At 67%, the facility is 21 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 67%. 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 El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center Ever Fined?

EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER has been fined $9,750 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,176. 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 El Reno Post-Acute Rehabilitation Center on Any Federal Watch List?

EL RENO POST-ACUTE REHABILITATION CENTER 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.
