Overview

Accel At Crystal Park has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is considered average compared to other nursing homes. It ranks #87 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half of the state's options, and #8 out of 39 in Oklahoma County, indicating that only seven local facilities are rated higher. The facility's trend is stable, with the same number of issues reported in both 2024 and 2025. Staffing receives a 3/5 rating, but the turnover rate is concerning at 85%, significantly higher than the state average of 55%, suggesting staff may not stay long enough to build strong relationships with residents. Although the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive sign, some serious concerns have been raised in recent inspections. For instance, there were instances where staff failed to wash their hands properly after caring for residents, risking the spread of infection. Additionally, there were allegations of abuse that were not thoroughly investigated, and some residents did not receive their medications on time due to insufficient staff. Despite these weaknesses, the facility has good RN coverage, exceeding that of 79% of state facilities, which can help catch potential issues early.
