GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Gracewood Health & Rehab in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of D, indicating it is below average with some concerns regarding care and operations. It ranks #163 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the bottom half of the state, and #22 out of 33 in Tulsa County, meaning only one other local option is worse. The facility's situation is worsening, with issues increasing from 1 in 2024 to 14 in 2025. Staffing is a notable concern, with an 86% turnover rate, significantly higher than the state average, suggesting instability among caregivers. However, the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive aspect, and has average RN coverage, which is essential for catching potential problems. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include a nurse working without a valid Oklahoma license, a lack of privacy curtains for residents, and insufficient activities provided for residents, raising concerns about their overall care and comfort. While there are some strengths, families should carefully consider these weaknesses when researching Gracewood Health & Rehab.

CMS assigns GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB an overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which is considered below average nationally. Within Oklahoma, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is Gracewood Health & Rehab Staffed?
CMS rates GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 86%, which is 40 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 83%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at Gracewood Health & Rehab?
State health inspectors documented 30 deficiencies at GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB during 2022 to 2025. These included: 30 with potential for harm.
Who Owns and Operates Gracewood Health & Rehab?
GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by BRADFORD MONTGOMERY, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 121 certified beds and approximately 75 residents (about 62% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in TULSA, Oklahoma.
How Does Gracewood Health & Rehab Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB's overall rating (2 stars) is below the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (86%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (2 stars) is below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Gracewood Health & Rehab?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Gracewood Health & Rehab Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, GRACEWOOD HEALTH & 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 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Gracewood Health & Rehab Stick Around?
Staff turnover at GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB is high. At 86%, the facility is 40 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 83%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Gracewood Health & Rehab Ever Fined?
GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Gracewood Health & Rehab on Any Federal Watch List?
GRACEWOOD HEALTH & REHAB is not on any federal watch list. 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.
