The Living Center in Enid runs on a surprisingly strong staffing picture for a 50-bed for-profit: 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, with turnover at 35% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below its own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The inspection record backs it up, a five-star health inspection rating, a 4/5 on quality measures, and 12 deficiencies on file with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Its most recent inspection was May 2025, so the record is current.

Trinity Woods is run by a nonprofit corporation and holds 84 certified beds in Tulsa. Its nurse staffing runs about 5.57 hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, below the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. On its current record: five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2024.

River Valley runs about 3.54 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 6% below its own weekday numbers, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. What offsets that: turnover sits at 30% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay, and staff who know residents matter more than a marginal hour. Five deficiencies on record, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with an inspection dated March 2026. One hundred beds under for-profit partnership ownership. Good numbers, thinner staffing than average, worth a visit.

Cordell Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 4.77 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay: turnover is 30.9% against a national 45.8%. That stability shows up in the quality measure score, though the weekend schedule runs about 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, and the last inspection was September 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 110 certified beds, and the health inspection rating is the weakest of its three federal scores.

University Park runs a little richer on nursing hours than the typical American home, 3.93 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage holds steady rather than thinning out like it does at a lot of places. Staff turnover sits at 34.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The 28 deficiencies on record include one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent state inspection came in March 2025. For-profit partnership ownership, 139 beds.

Tidwell Living Center runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 34.4%, noticeably under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. This is a for-profit, individually owned home of 55 beds in Latimer County, and its inspection and quality ratings both land above average.

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.

Gran Gran's Place reports 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, which is genuinely high, about 19% above the national average. But the federal staffing rating comes out at 1 out of 5, and that tells you the hours aren't distributed the way regulators want: weekends run roughly 14% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 46.9%, just above the national rate, so the faces change often. The 22 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality measures score 5 out of 5; health inspections land at 3. If you're weighing this one, ask how weekend coverage actually gets filled.

Rainbow Terrace runs lean on nursing hours, 3.32 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and CMS's own staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5. That shortfall hasn't come with heavy turnover, though; at 43.3% it's slightly better than the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage actually runs a bit above the home's weekday level. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 32 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $60,140 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating, with the most recent survey from January 2025. The quality measure score of 4/5 is the bright spot. Corporate-owned, 60 beds.

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.

At The King's Daughters & Sons Nursing Home in Durant, staffing is the standout: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a five-star CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 31.6%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% from weekday levels, worth asking about. The concerns are on the inspection side: 18 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $15,249 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent. Corporate, for-profit ownership. Strong staffing, but the inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions.

Mangum Skilled Nursing And Therapy runs 140 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the nurse staffing number, 4.07 hours per resident day, sits about 5% above the national average of 3.86. That sounds solid until you notice weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 52.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows four deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $14,069; the most recent inspection was December 2024. Strong quality measure scores and a recent survey help, but consistent weekend coverage and retention are the real questions to ask about.

Kingwood Skilled Nursing and Therapy runs 3.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, a gap families should weigh, since daily hands-on time is what shows up on a Tuesday afternoon. Weekend staffing dips about 2% below its own weekday level, so the difference isn't dramatic, but it's worth asking who covers Saturdays. Turnover sits at 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces at the bedside. Inspections turned up 17 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related, plus one fine of $15,180; the last inspection was May 2026. Corporate-owned and 105 beds.

Hensley runs a leaner ship than most. Nurse staffing sits at 4.42 hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average, which is a real cushion when you're thinking about call lights and therapy time. Turnover is 43.2%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, though weekends drop about 14% below weekday coverage, worth asking about directly. The health inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, and a 5-star inspection rating from a visit as recent as May 2025. Two abuse-related citations still show on the record, so ask how those were resolved.

Willow Creek runs about 4.14 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 25.5%, well under the national 45.8%. That retention matters more than any single inspection finding, because consistent caregivers notice changes in residents early. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. The home carries 12 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a clean five-star health inspection and a December 2024 survey. It's a for-profit LLC with 100 certified beds, and its quality measure score is the softer spot at three stars.
