TALIHINA MANOR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Talihina Manor has received a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average quality with some significant concerns. It ranks #186 out of 282 nursing homes in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half of facilities statewide, but it is #2 out of 6 in Le Flore County, meaning only one local option is better. Unfortunately, the facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 4 in 2023 to 15 in 2024. While staffing is a strength, rated 4 out of 5 stars with only 34% turnover-better than the state average of 55%-the home has incurred $34,880 in fines, which is concerning as it is higher than 83% of Oklahoma facilities. Specific incidents include concerns about food sanitation, as staff failed to clean trays properly between meals, and issues with residents' rights regarding advanced directives not being followed correctly. Overall, while Talihina Manor has good staffing levels, the increase in issues and concerning practices present significant challenges for families considering this facility.
