SUMMERS HEALTHCARE, LLC
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Summers Healthcare, LLC in Okeene, Oklahoma has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating it is slightly above average but not exceptional. It ranks #75 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 2 in Blaine County, meaning there is only one other local option. The facility is experiencing a worsening trend, with issues increasing from 1 in 2023 to 4 in 2024. Staffing is a relative strength, with a 3/5 star rating and a turnover rate of 32%, which is much lower than the state average of 55%. However, it has accumulated $13,627 in fines, which is concerning as it is higher than 77% of other facilities in Oklahoma. Recent inspections revealed serious issues, including a critical incident where a resident was found with their arm caught in a bed rail, leading to a fracture and hospitalization. The facility also lacked a qualified activity director, relying instead on untrained staff for resident activities. Additionally, there were no documented interventions for reducing the use of bed rails for multiple residents, raising safety concerns. While there are strengths in staffing, these significant weaknesses should be carefully considered by families looking for care options.
