GRACE SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY JENKS
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Families considering Grace Skilled Nursing and Therapy in Jenks, Oklahoma should note that the facility has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about care quality. Ranked #108 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, they are in the top half, but still face serious issues. The situation is currently improving, with reported problems decreasing from 17 in 2024 to 4 in 2025. However, staffing is a weakness, rated at 2 out of 5 stars with a high turnover rate of 61%, indicating that many staff members leave the facility. Specific incidents have raised alarms, such as a critical situation where a resident was found unsupervised while smoking with oxygen, which poses serious risks, and concerns about cleanliness, including an ice machine with moldy substances. While there are efforts to address these issues, families should weigh both the strengths and weaknesses carefully.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Grace Skilled Nursing And Therapy Jenks?
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 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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.

Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death).

Staff turnover at GRACE SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY JENKS is high. At 61%, the facility is 15 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 60%. 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?

Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Grace Skilled Nursing And Therapy Jenks on Any Federal Watch List?
GRACE SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY JENKS 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.
