HASKELL CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Haskell Care Center has received a Trust Grade of C, which indicates that it is performing at an average level-neither exceptional nor particularly poor. The facility ranks #111 out of 282 nursing homes in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half of state facilities, and is #3 out of 10 in Muskogee County, meaning only two local options are rated higher. Unfortunately, the center is trending in a worsening direction, with issues increasing from 5 in 2023 to 9 in 2024, indicating a growing concern. Staffing is a relative strength with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 32%, which is significantly below the state average, suggesting that many staff members remain long-term and are familiar with the residents' needs. However, there have been serious incidents reported, including a resident suffering multiple falls due to insufficient supervision, which led to significant injuries, and a failure to properly implement the facility's abuse policy for a resident, raising concerns about safety and care standards.

About This Facility
What is Haskell's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns HASKELL CARE CENTER an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which is considered average nationally. Within Oklahoma, this rating places the facility higher than 99% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is Haskell Staffed?
CMS rates HASKELL CARE CENTER's staffing level at 4 out of 5 stars, which is above average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 32%, compared to the Oklahoma average of 46%. This relatively stable workforce can support continuity of care.
What Have Inspectors Found at Haskell?
State health inspectors documented 26 deficiencies at HASKELL CARE CENTER during 2022 to 2024. These included: 1 that caused actual resident harm and 25 with potential for harm. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Haskell?
HASKELL CARE 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 58 certified beds and approximately 34 residents (about 59% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in HASKELL, Oklahoma.
How Does Haskell Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, HASKELL CARE CENTER's overall rating (3 stars) is above the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (32%) is significantly lower than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Haskell?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?"
Is Haskell Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, HASKELL CARE 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 Haskell Stick Around?
HASKELL CARE CENTER has a staff turnover rate of 32%, which is about average for Oklahoma nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Haskell Ever Fined?
HASKELL CARE CENTER has been fined $3,422 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,113. 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 Haskell on Any Federal Watch List?
HASKELL CARE 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.
