SPIRO NURSING HOME, INC.
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Spiro Nursing Home, Inc. has a Trust Grade of C+, meaning it is slightly above average but still has room for improvement. It ranks #72 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half of state options, and is the highest-rated facility in Le Flore County. However, the facility's trend is worsening, with the number of issues increasing from 2 in 2024 to 3 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength, with a 4 out of 5-star rating and a turnover rate of 39%, which is well below the state average, indicating staff consistency. On the downside, the facility has received $14,521 in fines, which is average but still raises concerns about compliance issues. Specific incidents of concern include a critical finding where a resident was at risk of burns while drinking coffee, highlighting a failure to ensure resident safety. Additionally, the facility did not provide proper notice or documentation when residents were transferred to hospitals, which is important for their rights and care continuity. Lastly, there were gaps in individualized care plans for residents, as key medical conditions like dementia and diabetes were not properly documented. While there are strengths in staffing and overall ratings, families should be aware of these weaknesses when considering this nursing home.
