Data insights
Quality ratings
CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026) puts River Oaks Skilled Nursing and Therapy's overall quality rating at 5 out of 5 stars, a composite of three sub-ratings: health inspection (5/5), staffing (4/5), and quality measures (2/5).
What each sub-rating measures
The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in El Reno, Oklahoma, this facility operates 120 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 71 residents - an occupancy rate of about 59%. The facility is classified under for profit - partnership ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 59% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers
Within Oklahoma, River Oaks Skilled Nursing and Therapy is one of 33 for profit - partnership nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - partnership-segment average of 3.5 stars, ahead of roughly 82% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
Inspection record
On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented a moderate number of deficiencies at this facility (4 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. This volume of findings is worth reading past the count: CMS's F-tag scale separates isolated, low-harm citations from widespread or immediate-jeopardy ones, and only the full report shows which this facility has.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
