Overview

Fairmont Skilled Nursing and Therapy has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about the quality of care provided, placing it in the bottom tier of facilities. Ranked #159 out of 282 in Oklahoma, it is in the bottom half of state facilities and #19 of 39 in Oklahoma County, meaning only a handful of local options are better. The facility is improving, having reduced its number of issues from 6 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025. Staffing is average with a 56% turnover rate, which is similar to the state average, and the RN coverage is also average, meaning there is adequate oversight. However, there have been concerning incidents, including a failure to protect one resident from abuse and inadequate documentation of meal consumption for another resident who experienced significant weight loss, indicating potential gaps in care. While there are some improvements, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully.
