FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #160 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma places it in the bottom half statewide, and #5 out of 10 in Muskogee County suggests only a few local options are available. The facility is reportedly improving, with the number of issues decreasing from 11 in 2023 to 8 in 2025. While staffing turnover is impressively low at 0%, indicating staff stability, the facility has incurred $52,377 in fines, which is concerning and higher than 91% of Oklahoma facilities. Specific incidents include failure to update fall prevention plans for a resident who experienced a fall and did not ensure proper restorative services for another resident, indicating potential gaps in care. Overall, while there are some strengths, significant weaknesses and compliance issues raise red flags for families considering this facility.

About This Facility
What is Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered 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 Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Staffed?
CMS rates FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center?
State health inspectors documented 35 deficiencies at FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER during 2022 to 2025. These included: 1 that caused actual resident harm and 34 with potential for harm. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center?
FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by MGM HEALTHCARE, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 66 certified beds and approximately 52 residents (about 79% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in FORT GIBSON, Oklahoma.
How Does Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.6 and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center?
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 Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB 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 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 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 Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Stick Around?
FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center Ever Fined?
FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB CENTER has been fined $52,377 across 1 penalty action. This is above the Oklahoma average of $33,603. 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 Fort Gibson Care & Rehab Center on Any Federal Watch List?
FORT GIBSON CARE & REHAB 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.
