COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Community Health Care of Gore has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and poor overall quality of care. Ranking #212 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma places it in the bottom half of nursing homes in the state, and #2 out of 4 in Sequoyah County means only one local option is rated better. The facility’s performance is worsening, with the number of issues rising from 5 in 2024 to 16 in 2025. Staffing is rated average at 3 out of 5 stars, but the turnover rate is concerning at 62%, higher than the state average. The facility has incurred $36,120 in fines, which is higher than 84% of Oklahoma facilities, indicating ongoing compliance issues. Specific incidents of concern include a critical failure to implement the abuse policy, leading to potential harm for a resident who experienced psychosocial trauma from abuse. Additionally, there were lapses in the smoking policy that did not ensure proper safety evaluations for residents who smoke. While the facility has some average staffing levels, the concerning trend and serious incidents make it essential for families to carefully consider these factors when researching care options.

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 Community Health Care Of Gore Staffed?
CMS rates COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 62%, which is 16 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs.
What Have Inspectors Found at Community Health Care Of Gore?
State health inspectors documented 50 deficiencies at COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 3 that caused actual resident harm, and 45 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 Community Health Care Of Gore?
COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE 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 70 certified beds and approximately 43 residents (about 61% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in GORE, Oklahoma.
How Does Community Health Care Of Gore Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (62%) 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 Community Health Care Of Gore?
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 I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, and the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Community Health Care Of Gore Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE 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 2 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 Community Health Care Of Gore Stick Around?
Staff turnover at COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE is high. At 62%, the facility is 16 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. 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 Community Health Care Of Gore Ever Fined?
COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE has been fined $36,120 across 1 penalty action. The Oklahoma average is $33,440. 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 Community Health Care Of Gore on Any Federal Watch List?
COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE OF GORE 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.
