    Rundown facility with negligent care

    I visited my (grandmother/dad) and left alarmed. The place - named after a famous actress and billed as home to "real princesses" - is rundown, basic and the cheapest option. Staff were often rude, indifferent or untrained (I saw uncertified aides, zero CNA training), residents left in diapers, accidents were frequent, and I even saw smoking near someone on oxygen. Complaints brought retaliation and a frustrating runaround; a doctor recommended a transfer that was denied. A few staff were professional, caring and generous (cookies helped), but overall I cannot recommend this facility.

    Summary review

    Overall impression: The reviews present a mixed but predominantly negative picture with some positive pockets. Several reviewers note that the facility provides basic and sometimes competent clinical care and that a number of staff members are friendly, professional, and caring. At the same time, a recurring set of serious concerns—ranging from degrading treatment and unprofessional behavior to safety and training problems—appears frequently enough to indicate systemic issues rather than isolated incidents.

    Care quality and staff behavior: Reviewers repeatedly describe wide variability in how residents are treated. Positive comments reference staff who are professional, caring, and loving toward patients; visitors noticed small, pleasant gestures such as cookies and interactions that made some families feel comfortable. Conversely, many reports describe humiliating, degrading, or indifferent treatment. Words and phrases used by reviewers include patients being “treated like dogs,” unprofessional conduct, retaliation after complaints, and rude or incompetent employees. This suggests inconsistent staff behavior and a polarized resident experience where quality depends heavily on which staff members are on duty.

    Safety, training, and clinical concerns: Multiple reviewers raised significant safety and clinical red flags. There are claims of frequent accidents, use of diapers perhaps without clear justification, and an especially serious report of staff smoking near a resident who was on oxygen—an acute safety hazard. Several reviewers allege staff lack proper certification or CNA training and describe “zero training,” which, combined with reports of accidents and poor answers to doctors’ questions, implies potential gaps in competency. One reviewer specifically described being denied a transfer despite a physician’s recommendation and receiving a “runaround” from staff and administration. Taken together, these comments point to potential regulatory, legal, and patient-safety concerns that should be investigated further by responsible parties.

    Facility, activities, and atmosphere: The physical environment and programming are described as basic and somewhat rundown. The facility is repeatedly called not modern, with a basic or minimal set of amenities. Social and recreational activities are reported as limited. On the positive side, the facility is described as decent and affordable—the least expensive option by one reviewer—which could explain why some families accept a trade-off between cost and level of service. However, several reviewers conclude they would not highly recommend the facility, suggesting that price alone may not compensate for the observed quality and safety issues.

    Management, complaint handling, and patterns: Multiple reviews describe poor communication from staff and management, including giving families the “runaround” and, in at least one case, alleged retaliation against a family who complained. That pattern—complaints met with inadequate responses or retaliatory behavior—combined with reports of untrained staff, suggests weaknesses in leadership, oversight, and quality assurance. Conversely, some reviewers attribute positive experiences to particular staff or departments, implying that managerial change or better oversight could produce more consistent positive outcomes.

    Conclusion and notable patterns: The set of reviews shows a clear split: some staff and care episodes are praised, while numerous serious complaints about disrespect, safety, training, and management recur often enough to be notable. Key issues to watch are staff training and certification, resident safety (including smoking/oxygen concerns), responsiveness to physicians’ recommendations, and how complaints are handled. The facility appears to offer basic, affordable care with occasional compassionate staff, but multiple reviewers caution about systemic problems that could put residents at risk. Prospective residents and families should weigh the cost benefits against the reported inconsistency in care and the safety and regulatory concerns raised by reviewers.

    About Jan Frances Care Center

    Jan Frances Care Center sits at 815 North Country Club Road in Ada, Oklahoma, and serves about 42 residents per day on average, though the building's licensed for up to 132 certified beds, and what you'll find there is a mix of short-term and long-term senior care, memory care, and assisted living services all in one place with a focus on making the surroundings feel home-like and comfortable, and the place tries to foster daily routines with lots of activities, both at the center and off-site, offering a variety of on-site devotional gatherings and keeping things lively with photos and updates sent out on social media to help family stay connected, especially since there've been periods, like during COVID-19, when non-emergency visits got restricted and they switched to virtual tools like FaceTime and Skype for family talks and check-ins, and they further support contact with families through phone and email options. Residents usually get one or two prepared meals each day, designed to be nutritious, and there's help with basic living tasks like getting dressed, bathing, and managing health concerns, including care for things like diabetes or incontinence, and there are laundry and housekeeping services either included or available for an extra fee depending on what someone chooses or needs. Folks who need special memory support, such as for Alzheimer's, may have higher costs, but there's help connecting with Medicaid and Medicare to find out what's covered. Jan Frances Care Center does have several owners, among them Kelly Mitchell and Bgm Estate LLC, with involvement from the Green family trusts, showing a for-profit business structure, and the place is listed with Care Providers Oklahoma. The nursing staff averages 2.52 nursing hours per resident per day, though recently turnover among nurses has been high at 78.6 percent, and the center has faced some challenge areas in inspections and reports, with infection control, administration, and resident rights deficiencies noted, like failing to report lab results on time, not always notifying families promptly about health changes, and issues with infection program practices, including a noted infection deficiency in April 2025 following a complaint investigation, and some of these items continue to appear in state reports. There's various common areas indoors, space for socializing and relaxing, and everything runs on the idea that each resident deserves respect, dignity, and a chance to live with purpose in their later years.
