Overview

The Living Center in Enid, Oklahoma has a Trust Grade of B+, which means it is above average and recommended for potential residents. It ranks #31 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and is the best option among six facilities in Garfield County. The facility's performance has been stable, with only one issue reported in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing is a strong point, earning a 5/5 rating with a turnover rate of 30%, significantly below the state average, indicating that staff are experienced and familiar with the residents. However, the facility has faced fines totaling $9,750, which is average, and there have been some concerning incidents, such as failing to have RN coverage for eight consecutive hours daily over several months and not properly disposing of expired medications. While overall ratings are excellent, there are areas needing improvement, particularly in medication management and ensuring consistent RN presence.
