Overview

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.

On 09/28/23 at 4:00 p.m., Resident #21 was observed to ambulate independently, spontaneously standing and wandering about the hall without apparent purpose. The resident wore non-skid socks and long pants which hung a few inches below their feet, causing a possible safety hazard. On 09/28/23 at 4:27 p.m., LPN #1 stated the resident did not have a fall mat in place when they fell from their bed on 06/01/23. LPN #1 stated they did not recall if the resident had a fall mat in place when they fell on [DATE]. On 09/28/23 at 4:55 p.m., the DON stated both falls were unwitnessed and the staff were unable to determine with certainty how the injuries occurred. The DON stated there was no documentation the resident had a fall mat in place for either fall. The DON stated the care plan was not immediately updated after the resident fell on [DATE] to include the interventions listed on the incident report and fall investigation report. The DON stated since the falls were unwitnessed, there was no way to determine if a fall mat beside the bed would have prevented an injury from a fall. The DON stated they considered the frequent resident checks to include the staff to be within hearing distance of a resident and not necessarily to observe the resident more frequently.
