Overview

Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home has received a Trust Grade of F, which indicates significant concerns about the facility's overall quality and care. It ranks #267 out of 282 nursing homes in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half of facilities statewide, and #3 out of 4 in Seminole County, meaning only one local option is rated higher. The trend is improving, with the number of reported issues decreasing from 14 in 2024 to just 3 in 2025, but the facility still faces serious challenges. Staffing is a strength, with a turnover rate of 0%, which is well below the state average, providing some stability in care. However, the home has concerning fines totaling $234,065, indicating it has compliance issues and less RN coverage than 83% of other facilities in Oklahoma, which raises concerns about the quality of medical oversight. Specific incidents have raised alarms, such as a resident who suffered 12 falls over five months due to inadequate supervision, and multiple residents being found at risk of abuse, including one incident where a resident reported being grabbed inappropriately by another. Additionally, there were issues with food safety in the kitchen, as items were not properly dated or labeled. While there are some strengths, such as low staff turnover, the overall environment and care quality at Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home require careful consideration.

She documented it had been carried over from the prior MDS.
