CAPITOL HILL SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Capitol Hill Skilled Nursing and Therapy has a trust grade of C+, which means it is slightly above average but not outstanding. It ranks #91 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half of the state and #10 out of 39 in Oklahoma County, indicating that only nine other local options are better. Unfortunately, the facility is trending worse, with issues increasing from 3 in 2023 to 10 in 2024. On a positive note, it has no fines on record, which is a good sign, but its staffing turnover is average at 61%. However, there were concerning incidents noted, such as a resident unable to reach their call light for help and issues with personal funds not being accessible when needed, which raises concerns about the quality of care. Overall, while there are some strengths, families should be aware of the weaknesses reflected in the recent inspection findings.
