Anadarko Nursing & Rehab: RN Coverage Gaps - OK
The dates ran from early October through the final days of December 2025. October 5. October 12. October 18 and 19. Then November 9, 15, 29, and 30. December brought eight more: the 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st, 27th, and 28th. The pattern was almost rhythmic, clustering around weekends, stacking through the holidays.
Federal staffing data filed by the facility itself showed the gaps. A Payroll-Based Journal staffing report dated March 20, 2026, the same system nursing homes use to report actual hours worked to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, documented no RN coverage on each of those dates for the first quarter of 2026.
The business office manager told inspectors at 8:52 in the morning that the corporate HR officer handled PBJ data entry, and that the missing coverage shown in the report was accurate. Five minutes later, the corporate HR officer confirmed it directly: the RN hours listed as uncovered were correct. There was no registered nurse for those dates.
The director of nursing said they were aware of the missing hours. They also said the facility hadn't had any gaps since December 28, the last date on the list.
The facility's own staffing policy, written in October 2023, required an RN on duty eight hours a day, seven days a week. The policy was not in dispute. The facts were not in dispute. What happened was simply that for roughly one out of every six days during that quarter, no one met that requirement.
Inspectors classified the violation as causing minimal harm or potential for actual harm, a designation that reflects the lower end of the federal deficiency scale. Whether any of the 76 residents experienced a medical event on one of those uncovered days, and whether a registered nurse's presence would have changed the outcome, the inspection report does not say.
What the report does say is that the people responsible for knowing this was happening knew. The director of nursing acknowledged awareness of the missing hours. The corporate officer who submitted the staffing data confirmed its accuracy. The gaps were not discovered by inspectors combing through records the facility had tried to obscure. They were sitting in a report the facility filed with the federal government.
Anadarko Nursing & Rehab is a 76-bed facility at 300 West Washington in Anadarko, a small city in Caddo County in southwest Oklahoma. The inspection was conducted as a complaint survey and completed March 30, 2026.
The director of nursing's statement that no RN hours had gone uncovered since December 28 means the facility went at least three months into 2026 before inspectors arrived to document what the staffing records had already shown.
