SHATTUCK NURSING CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Shattuck Nursing Center has a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and in the middle of the pack compared to other facilities. It ranks #181 out of 282 in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half of the state's nursing homes, but it is the only facility in Ellis County. The facility's performance is worsening, with issues increasing from 5 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. Staffing is a concern, with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 49%, which is better than the state average but still indicates instability. While there have been no fines, which is a positive sign, specific incidents found during inspections indicate areas for improvement, such as failure to complete required resident assessments and inaccuracies in documentation for residents’ medications. Overall, while there are some strengths, such as no fines, the center has significant weaknesses that families should consider carefully.

The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma.

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.
