Thunder Care and Rehabilitation
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation in Moore, Oklahoma has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care, which is among the poorest ratings possible. The facility ranks #277 out of 282 in the state, placing it in the bottom half, and at #10 of 10 in Cleveland County, meaning there are no better local options. Unfortunately, the situation appears to be worsening, with the number of reported issues increasing from 3 in 2024 to 13 in 2025. Staffing is rated at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average, with a turnover rate of 63%, slightly higher than the state average. The facility has also accumulated $40,646 in fines, which is concerning and indicates repeated compliance issues. Notably, there have been serious incidents reported, including a critical failure to protect residents from sexual abuse, where one resident was observed inappropriately interacting with another resident who was not capable of consent. The facility was also found to have not implemented its abuse policy effectively, which raises significant safety concerns. While there are some average aspects, such as RN coverage, the overall picture suggests families should tread carefully when considering this facility for their loved ones.

About This Facility
What is Thunder Care And Rehabilitation's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns Thunder Care and Rehabilitation an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Oklahoma, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Thunder Care And Rehabilitation Staffed?
CMS rates Thunder Care and Rehabilitation's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 63%, which is 16 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 57%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Thunder Care And Rehabilitation?
State health inspectors documented 40 deficiencies at Thunder Care and Rehabilitation during 2022 to 2025. These included: 3 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death) and 37 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates Thunder Care And Rehabilitation?
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by IHS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 154 certified beds and approximately 123 residents (about 80% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in Moore, Oklahoma.
How Does Thunder Care And Rehabilitation Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, Thunder Care and Rehabilitation's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (63%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Thunder Care And Rehabilitation?
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?" "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations, the substantiated abuse finding on record, the facility's high staff turnover rate, and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Thunder Care And Rehabilitation Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Thunder Care and Rehabilitation has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). Inspectors have issued 3 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility is currently on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes nationwide). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Thunder Care And Rehabilitation Stick Around?
Staff turnover at Thunder Care and Rehabilitation is high. At 63%, the facility is 16 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 57%. 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 Thunder Care And Rehabilitation Ever Fined?
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation has been fined $40,646 across 2 penalty actions. The Oklahoma average is $33,485. 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 Thunder Care And Rehabilitation on Any Federal Watch List?
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation is currently an SFF Candidate, meaning CMS has identified it as potentially qualifying for the Special Focus Facility watch list. SFF Candidates have a history of serious deficiencies but haven't yet reached the threshold for full SFF designation. The facility is being monitored more closely — if problems continue, it may be added to the official watch list. Families should ask what the facility is doing to address the issues that led to this status.
