South Pointe Rehabilitation and Care Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
South Pointe Rehabilitation and Care Center received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranked #269 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, this places them in the bottom half of the state's nursing homes and #35 out of 39 in Oklahoma County, meaning there are very few local alternatives that are worse. Although the facility shows some improvement in its trend, reducing issues from 35 in 2024 to 20 in 2025, the staffing situation is only rated 2 out of 5 stars, and there is concerning RN coverage, being lower than 77% of similar facilities. With a high fine amount of $240,907, which is more than 88% of Oklahoma facilities, families should be aware of potential compliance issues. Specific incidents raise serious red flags: one included a resident being physically assaulted by an unknown person allowed into the facility, while another incident involved a resident smoking unsupervised, violating safety protocols. These findings highlight concerning lapses in safety and supervision that families should consider when evaluating this nursing home.
