Overview

24th Place in Norman, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care. It ranks #192 out of 282 facilities in the state, placing it in the bottom half, and #5 out of 10 in Cleveland County, meaning only four local options are worse. The facility's trend shows improvement, decreasing from 9 issues in 2024 to 5 in 2025, but it still has a concerning staffing rating of 1 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 63%, which is average for the state. The facility has accrued $21,645 in fines, indicating some compliance issues, and has less RN coverage than 75% of Oklahoma facilities, which raises concerns about adequate medical oversight. Specific incidents of concern include a critical failure to provide oxygen to a resident as ordered, leading to their death, and a serious issue where fall prevention measures were not implemented for a resident who fell multiple times. Additionally, residents reported that the contact information for filing complaints was not visible, suggesting a lack of transparency and accessibility. While there are efforts to improve, families should weigh these serious issues against any strengths when considering this facility for their loved ones.

About This Facility

What is 24Th Place's CMS Rating?

CMS assigns 24TH PLACE 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 24Th Place Staffed?

CMS rates 24TH PLACE's staffing level at 1 out of 5 stars, which is much below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 63%, which is 17 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 86%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

What Have Inspectors Found at 24Th Place?

State health inspectors documented 54 deficiencies at 24TH PLACE during 2021 to 2025. These included: 1 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 52 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 24Th Place?

24TH PLACE 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 89 certified beds and approximately 76 residents (about 85% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in NORMAN, Oklahoma.

How Does 24Th Place Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?

Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, 24TH PLACE'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 24Th Place?

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 24Th Place Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, 24TH PLACE 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 1 Immediate Jeopardy citation (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). 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 24Th Place Stick Around?

Staff turnover at 24TH PLACE is high. At 63%, the facility is 17 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 86%. 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 24Th Place Ever Fined?

24TH PLACE has been fined $21,645 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,295. 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 24Th Place on Any Federal Watch List?

24TH PLACE 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.
