All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Claremore,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Claremore Skilled Nursing And Therapy runs 118 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at 2 out of 5. Weekend coverage barely dips from weekday levels, so that's not the problem, the baseline is just thin. Turnover tells a similar story: 67.1% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning more than two-thirds of staff leave each year. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current.
Emerald Care Center Claremore runs 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 4% below its own weekday level. That thin margin shows up in the numbers: 56.2% annual staff turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, five tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last on site December 18, 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 129 certified beds, and both its health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at two out of five stars.
The Memory Care Center At Emerald runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes nationally, 3.39 hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends get even leaner, dropping about 6% below its own weekday staffing. Its 68.9% annual turnover is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. On inspections, 51 deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level and five tied to abuse, with $29,001 in fines and a one-star inspection rating; the most recent look was May 2024. For-profit LLC ownership. Families should ask direct questions about weekend coverage, staff retention, and how those abuse-related findings were resolved.
