Overview

Family Care Center of Kingston has a Trust Grade of B, which means it is considered a good choice among nursing homes. It ranks #104 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, putting it in the top half, and it is the best option in Marshall County, where there are only two facilities. The facility's trend is stable, showing a consistent number of issues over the past two years, while its staffing rating is poor, at only 1 out of 5 stars, with a notable turnover rate of 0%, which is better than the state average. There have been no fines, but there are some concerns, such as a resident's urinary catheter bag being left uncovered, compromising dignity, and the ice machine not being maintained properly, raising hygiene issues. Overall, while the facility has strengths in its ranking and absence of fines, it does have weaknesses in staffing and specific care practices that need attention.

The Administrator identified one resident which required a pureed diet. Findings: Review of the facility policy titled Menus, revision date October 2017, read in parts .Menus are developed and prepared to meet resident choices including religious, cultural and ethnic needs while following established national guidelines for nutritional adequacy . Menus provide a variety of foods from the basic daily food groups and indicate standard portions at each meal .If a food group is missing from a resident's daily diet (e.g., dairy products), the resident is provided an alternate means of meeting his or her nutritional needs . Resident #12 was admitted with diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Care Plan, for resident #12, documented the resident had a chewing difficulty, which increased the risk of nutritional deficit related to the need for an altered diet of puree. A Physician Order, for resident #12, dated 04/27/22, documented regular diet, pureed texture, and regular consistency. Review of the Tuesday lunch menu documented ground beef cube steak with gravy, broccoli and cheese rice baked, creamed corn, dinner roll/margarine, cinnamon diced pears, and beverage would be served. On 01/31/23 at 12:00 p.m., cook #1 was observed preparing the meal for the resident requiring a pureed diet. The cook was observed to puree the meat, broccoli and cheese, and corn. The cook was observed to place the items on the steam table as she pureed each item. [NAME] #1 was asked about bread for the resident.

The DM stated she would educate the staff member on how to include the bread in the pureed diet. On 02/02/23 at 9:47 a.m., the DON reported the facility followed the state menu. The DON stated she would expect everything on the menu to be included on the pureed diet unless there was an approved alternate. On 02/02/23 at 9:51 a.m., the Administrator reported staff should follow the menu to ensure residents were provided appropriate nutrition and a balanced diet.

Do Nurses at Family Of Kingston Stick Around?

FAMILY CARE CENTER OF KINGSTON has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.

Was Family Of Kingston Ever Fined?

FAMILY CARE CENTER OF KINGSTON has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.

Is Family Of Kingston on Any Federal Watch List?
