Hensley Nursing & Rehab in Sayre, Oklahoma, has received a Trust Grade of A, indicating excellent quality and a high recommendation for families considering this facility. It ranks #14 out of 282 nursing homes in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half of the state, and is the best option among three facilities in Beckham County.

Based on observation, record review, and interview, the facility failed to ensure standard infection control precautions were used during urinary catheter care for 1 (#9) of 1 sampled resident for urinary catheters. The DON reported 34 residents resided in the facility and two residents had urinary catheters. Findings: On 05/13/25 at 2:07 p.m., CNA #1 was observed to empty Resident #9's urinary catheter bag.

A policy titled Emptying a Urinary Drainage Bag, dated 10/01/10, showed to keep the drainage bag and tubing off the floor at all times to prevent contamination and damage. A physician's order, dated 09/30/24, showed to flush suprapubic catheter with 60 milliliters of normal saline and provide catheter care two times a day.

Is Hensley Nursing & Rehab Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, HENSLEY NURSING & REHAB has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes).

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
