Our read on Checotah Nursing Center
Checotah Nursing Center runs on a for-profit LLC model with 82 certified beds, and the numbers worth knowing are about staffing and oversight. Annual turnover hits 72.7% against a national average of 45.8%, and CMS gives the place just one star for staffing, meaning nurses and aides are cycling through fast. Inspections back that up: 23 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus $102,895 in fines across two cases. The last inspection was December 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Quality measures score a middling three stars, but the inspection and staffing picture is where a family should focus its questions.
