HENNESSEY NURSING & REHAB
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Hennessey Nursing & Rehab has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about care quality and safety. Ranked #164 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, they are in the bottom half, and #2 out of 3 in Kingfisher County, meaning only one local option is better. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 9 in 2023 to 17 in 2024. Staffing is a concern with a high turnover rate of 69%, above the state average, although their RN coverage is average. The facility has also incurred $33,924 in fines, which is higher than 89% of other Oklahoma facilities, reflecting ongoing compliance issues. Recent inspector findings revealed critical lapses, including a failure to ensure a resident received necessary antibiotic treatment for pneumonia, and inadequate assessments for pressure ulcer risk, highlighting serious care deficiencies. Overall, while there are some strengths in quality measures, the significant weaknesses in staffing, critical incidents, and compliance raise considerable red flags for potential residents and their families.

Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Hennessey Nursing & Rehab?
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?" "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?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the facility's high staff turnover rate.

Inspectors have issued 1 Immediate Jeopardy citation (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death).

Do Nurses at Hennessey Nursing & Rehab Stick Around?
Staff turnover at HENNESSEY NURSING & REHAB is high. At 69%, the facility is 23 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 83%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. 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 Hennessey Nursing & Rehab Ever Fined?
HENNESSEY NURSING & REHAB has been fined $33,924 across 1 penalty action. The Oklahoma average is $33,418.

Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Hennessey Nursing & Rehab on Any Federal Watch List?
HENNESSEY NURSING & REHAB 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.
