STILLWATER CREEK SKILLED NURSING AND THERAPY
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Stillwater Creek Skilled Nursing and Therapy has received a Trust Grade of C, which means it is average and falls in the middle of the pack for nursing homes. In terms of state ranking, it is #183 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half, and #3 out of 3 in Payne County, indicating only one local option is better. The facility is showing improvement, reducing issues from 11 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025, which is a positive trend. Staffing is rated average with a turnover rate of 51%, which is slightly better than the state average of 55%, suggesting some staff stability. However, there are notable concerns, including a resident observed without required pressure-relieving devices, putting them at risk for further skin issues, and failure to follow protocols for oxygen administration for two residents, which could jeopardize their health. While there are strengths in staffing and an improving trend, these specific incidents highlight areas that need attention.
