THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
The Springs Skilled Nursing and Therapy in Muskogee, Oklahoma has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. With a state rank of #188 out of 282 facilities, they fall in the bottom half of nursing homes in Oklahoma and #6 out of 10 in Muskogee County, meaning only four local options are worse. Although the facility is showing improvement, reducing issues from 23 in 2023 to 4 in 2024, there are still serious concerns, including a recent incident where a resident at risk for falls was not properly monitored according to their care plan. Staffing is average with a 3/5 star rating, but the turnover rate is concerning at 63%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, there were reports of inadequate food safety practices and complaints from residents about the quality and portion sizes of meals, raising further red flags about the overall care environment.

CMS rates THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes.

These included: 1 that caused actual resident harm, 53 with potential for harm, and 1 minor or isolated issues.

Who Owns and Operates The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy?
THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY 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 BRIDGES HEALTH, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 105 certified beds and approximately 93 residents (about 89% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in MUSKOGEE, Oklahoma.
How Does The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?

What Should Families Ask When Visiting The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "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?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy Stick Around?
Staff turnover at THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY is high. At 63%, the facility is 17 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. 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 The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy Ever Fined?
THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY has been fined $15,593 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,235. 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 The Springs Skilled Nursing And Therapy on Any Federal Watch List?
THE SPRINGS SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY 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.
