Overview

Brookwood Skilled Nursing and Therapy in Oklahoma City has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranking #201 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma places it in the bottom half, while its county rank of #27 out of 39 suggests only a few local options are better. The facility's trend is improving, with issues reported decreasing from 13 in 2024 to just 3 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, earning a 4 out of 5 star rating and a turnover rate of 52%, which is better than the state average. However, there are serious concerns, including incidents where a resident with diabetes did not receive necessary medication for low blood sugar and critical lab results went unreported to a physician, indicating potentially life-threatening lapses in care. Overall, while staffing levels are commendable, the facility's poor trust grade and alarming incidents raise significant red flags for families considering this nursing home.
