Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Mangum Skilled Nursing and Therapy has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. They rank #119 out of 282 nursing homes in Oklahoma, placing them in the top half of facilities in the state, but they are the only option available in Greer County. The facility's trend is stable, with two issues reported each year since 2024. Staffing is rated at 4 out of 5 stars, which is a strength, but the turnover rate of 60% is average, meaning staff stay long enough to develop some familiarity with residents. However, the facility has faced serious issues, including failing to provide CPR to a resident who was unresponsive, resulting in their death, and they also did not ensure safe storage of drinks, which could lead to bacterial growth. Despite some positive aspects, these critical incidents raise serious concerns about the quality of care at this facility.
