GLENWOOD SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Glenwood Skilled Nursing and Therapy has received a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and sits in the middle of the pack compared to other facilities. It ranks #107 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and #11 out of 33 in Tulsa County, indicating that there are only a few local options that are better. However, the facility's trend is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 6 in 2023 to 9 in 2024. Staffing is a relative strength with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate of 69% is concerning as it is above the state average of 55%. While the RN coverage is good, exceeding 90% of state facilities, the facility has faced $7,713 in fines, which is average. Specific incidents include a serious case where a resident with cognitive impairments was left outside for an extended period and suffered from heat stroke, indicating a failure in supervision. Additionally, there are concerns about cleanliness, with stained carpets throughout the facility that detract from a homelike environment. Lastly, there have been issues with residents not receiving their promised bathing assistance, raising concerns about personal care. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and RN coverage, the facility has significant areas needing improvement.
