Oak Manor Nursing Center
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Oak Manor Nursing Center in Flatonia, Texas, has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about its care and operations. It ranks #533 out of 1,168 facilities in Texas, placing it in the top half but still suggesting there are many better options available. The facility is showing signs of improvement, having reduced its number of issues from four in 2024 to two in 2025. Staffing is a strength with a 4/5 rating, a turnover rate of 37% that is lower than the state average, and more RN coverage than many facilities, which helps identify issues early. However, the center has faced serious incidents, including a failure to protect residents from physical abuse and inadequate supervision during transfers, leading to serious injuries, which raises significant red flags for potential residents and their families.
