Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
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.

About This Facility
What is Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home's CMS Rating?

A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home Staffed?

What Have Inspectors Found at Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home?
State health inspectors documented 33 deficiencies at Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 that caused actual resident harm and 31 with potential for harm.

Who Owns and Operates Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home?
Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 110 certified beds and approximately 43 residents (about 39% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in Seminole, Oklahoma.
How Does Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 2.6 and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What safeguards and monitoring systems are in place to protect residents from abuse or neglect?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the substantiated abuse finding on record and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home has documented safety concerns. The facility has 1 substantiated abuse finding (meaning confirmed case of resident harm by staff or other residents). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home Stick Around?
Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home Ever Fined?
Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home has been fined $234,065 across 2 penalty actions. This is 6.6x the Oklahoma average of $35,420. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home on Any Federal Watch List?
Seminole Pioneer Nursing Home is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
