Zarrow Pointe runs a sizeable nursing staff, 5.57 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 11% below weekdays, so coverage stays solid across the week. Staff turnover sits at 41%, slightly better than the typical 45.8% nationally. Against that, the current record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,278. The last inspection was August 2025. The staffing numbers are the strength here; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly, particularly the abuse finding.

University Village in Tulsa runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% more than the national average, and enough for a top federal staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover sits at 48.1%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 15 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, which is why the health inspection rating lands mid-range at 3 out of 5 while quality measures score 4. It's for-profit, LLC-owned, 80 beds. Solid staffing carries this one; the inspection record is the soft spot.

Saint Simeons Episcopal Home runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 109 certified beds in Tulsa, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.93 hours per resident day, roughly 54% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts are still comparatively well covered. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and four fines total $12,837; the most recent inspection was January 24, 2025. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures at 4 out of 5 stars each, with staffing at 3, a reminder that raw hours and CMS's staffing formula don't always agree.

Oklahoma Memory Care Institute sits in Tulsa with 56 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, along with $8,653 in CMS fines. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was October 31, 2024. Families weighing this home should ask directly about those abuse-related findings and how weekend staffing holds up.

Montereau runs 4.77 nursing hours per resident day, which is genuinely above average. The problem is who's delivering those hours: annual turnover of 88 percent means most of the staff you'd meet on any given shift wasn't there last year, and weekend coverage drops about 7 percent below weekday levels. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $14,901 fine. Inspections are recent, and the quality measure score holds up better than the staffing score does. Nonprofit ownership helps, but steady hands matter more here than headcount math.

Southern Hills runs 106 beds in Tulsa under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86. That's the good news. The trouble sits elsewhere: staff turnover hits 84.8 percent a year, nearly double the national rate of 45.8 percent, meaning the people providing care keep changing. Its current record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $15,766 fine. Weekend staffing dips about 4 percent below weekdays. The last inspection was November 2024, so the picture is fairly recent.

Tulsa Center for Rehabilitation and Healthcare is a for-profit, 180-bed home that just got inspected in August 2025, so its record is current. The inspection side looks solid, a 4 out of 5 star rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But 18 deficiencies total, including two abuse-related ones, is still a lot of findings to have on the books at once. What pulls the overall picture down is the day-to-day care: both staffing and quality measures sit at 1 out of 5 stars, meaning resident outcomes and nurse coverage fall well short of what you'd expect. Good inspections don't fix thin staffing. Ask about direct-care hours per resident before you visit.

The Cottage Extended Care has 176 beds and is run by an individual for-profit owner. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but that margin is thin, and weekends run about 11% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger issue is turnover: 84.7% of staff leave each year, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%. Inspections look decent on paper, with a 4/5 star rating and a recent January 2025 visit, but the current record carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures rate 1/5.

Sherwood Manor runs 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below what it manages on weekdays. The bigger number is turnover: 59.7% of staff left over the past year, against a national rate near 46%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new. Its record shows 30 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $91,862 in fines. Inspectors last visited in September 2024. For-profit individual ownership, 102 beds. Call the long-term care ombudsman before you tour.
