Overview

Stilwell Nursing and Rehab has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice among nursing homes, suggesting a solid level of care. It ranks #74 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and it is the only nursing home in Adair County, making it the local option. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from 11 in 2023 to just 4 in 2025. Staffing is average, rated 3 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 39%, which is better than the Oklahoma average of 55%. Notably, there have been no fines, which is a positive sign regarding compliance. However, there are some concerns. For example, one incident involved a resident not receiving their prescribed insulin according to their doctor’s orders, which could be harmful. Additionally, the facility failed to follow the menu for meals, causing inconsistencies in what residents were served. While there are strengths, such as no fines and a good Trust Grade, families should be aware of these specific issues when considering this facility for their loved ones.

Is Stilwell Nursing And Rehab Safe?

Based on CMS inspection data, STILWELL NURSING AND REHAB has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 4-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma.

This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
