COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Families considering Countryside Estates in Warner, Oklahoma should note that the facility has a Trust Grade of C, indicating it is average and in the middle of the pack among nursing homes. It ranks #96 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and is the best option among the 10 homes in Muskogee County. The facility's trend is improving, with issues decreasing from seven in 2023 to four in 2025. However, staffing is a significant concern, with a poor rating of 1 out of 5 stars and an extremely high turnover rate of 88%, far surpassing the state average of 55%. Specific incidents noted by inspectors include unsafe food handling practices, such as staff not washing their hands while preparing meals, and failing to ensure that residents had the opportunity to create advanced directives, which are important for their healthcare wishes. While the facility has some strengths, such as a decent health inspection rating, these weaknesses raise important questions for families to consider.

Who Owns and Operates Countryside Estates?

The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 111 certified beds and approximately 77 residents (about 69% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in WARNER, Oklahoma.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Countryside Estates?
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 Countryside Estates Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES 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 3-star overall rating and ranks #1 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 Countryside Estates Stick Around?
Staff turnover at COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES is high. At 88%, the facility is 41 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. 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 Countryside Estates Ever Fined?
COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES has been fined $3,145 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oklahoma average of $33,110. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Countryside Estates on Any Federal Watch List?
COUNTRYSIDE ESTATES 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.
