Key Review Excerpts

My mother spent a couple weeks here. Absolutely the best care ever! All the staff were wonderful, helpful, and very loving.

Rehab patient's family · 2024★★★★★

My Mother was admitted, and left in days. Care was unimaginably horrible. Meals were never on time, sometimes one to two hours late.

Long-term resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

The facilities are clean and have a homey feel to them. The residents seem very happy and well taken care of and happy! The memory care ward impressed me very much because it feels like a real home

Sand Springs Nursing faces serious concerns with a recent complaint revealing resident abuse protection failures, alongside families filing reports about medication errors, food safety, and facility cleanliness. Recurring issues include fire safety violations, medication management problems, and communication failures with families appearing across multiple surveys. While most deficiencies show planned correction dates, the persistent pattern of fire safety and medication issues, combined with the severity of the abuse-related complaint, warrants careful consideration before placement.
