How chain-owned homes in Tulsa, OK compare
This group set against every nursing home in Tulsa, OK, from the current CMS release.
Covenant Living At Inverness runs a tight ship on paper. The Tulsa nonprofit, 44 beds, holds top CMS marks for health inspections and quality measures, and its six deficiencies carry no harm or jeopardy findings and nothing abuse-related. Last inspection was September 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, and weekends dip about 8% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Annual turnover of 42.6% edges out the national 45.8%, which is modestly good news for a workforce that usually churns. The weak spot is consistency, not care quality.
Green Country Care Center runs 114 beds in Tulsa under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in November 2024 turned up 27 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach the harm or jeopardy level. Nothing on record involves abuse, but that volume of findings is a lot to carry, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Staffing is the weaker signal still, 1 out of 5 stars, meaning the hours worked per resident fall well below what CMS expects. One thing in the home's favor: annual staff turnover of 33.3% beats the national average of 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay.
The Villages at Southern Hills scores well on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and just three deficiencies on record, none causing harm and none tied to abuse. That clean survey history, most recently updated in January 2025, is the strongest thing this Tulsa home has going for it.
Staffing is the weak spot. The one-star staffing rating is the kind of number that shows up in day-to-day experience: fewer aides per resident, longer waits. Annual turnover at 51.8% sits above the national average of 45.8%, meaning more than half the workforce leaves each year. As a for-profit LLC with 110 beds, that churn can mean constantly training new faces.
Families weighing this one should ask specifically how the home covers shifts on weekends and nights.
Tulsa Nursing Center runs about 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin margin shows up in the 2/5 staffing star, and annual turnover of 51.3% sits above the national 45.8%. The good news is that care quality measures rate 5/5, and the 20 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none abuse-related. A state inspection from March 2025 is recent. The tradeoff is clear: strong clinical outcomes, but a workforce stretched thin enough that consistency may be uneven.
Colonial Manor runs 3.43 nurse hours per resident per day, about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus a $48,785 fine. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 stars, and the staffing rating matches it at 2. The quality measure score, 5 stars, reflects resident care metrics rather than the hands available to deliver that care. Owned by a for-profit limited liability company, the home was last inspected February 6, 2025.
Ignite Medical Resort Tulsa runs 104 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.63 hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday level. The tradeoff shows up in turnover: 66.9% annually against a national average of 45.8%, so the people providing that above-average care are cycling through quickly. Inspections are recent (December 2024) and the record holds five deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single $16,772 fine. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are more mixed.
Leisure Village runs 117 certified beds in Tulsa under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the story sits. Total nurse coverage comes in at 3.76 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 13% below what the building staffs during the week. Meanwhile, annual turnover hits 58.6% against a national 45.8%, which means nearly three in five caregivers are leaving each year. Inspections tell a similar story: 42 deficiencies on record, three tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit was August 2024. The health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5 stars, staffing at 1, even as quality measures score 4.
Ambassador Manor runs 171 beds in Tulsa under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage actually edges out weekdays slightly, so the shortfall isn't a weekend problem; it's across the board. Annual turnover of 55.9% tops the national 45.8%, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The inspection record is where things get serious: 25 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, and five tied to abuse. A single fine of $9,077 is on file, and the last inspection was October 2024. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5 stars.
Gracewood Health & Rehab runs 121 certified beds in Tulsa under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just slightly above the national average of 3.86. That margin shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops about 5% below the home's own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 76.2% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who rely on consistent caregivers. Inspections tell a similar story, 25 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and a 2/5 quality measure rating. The most recent inspection was April 6, 2026.
Emerald Care Center Tulsa runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes in the country, about 3.48 hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop further below its own weekday staffing. The bigger concern is turnover: 73.6% of staff leaving annually, against a national average near 46%, which means whoever is at the bedside is often new. The inspection record backs that up, 67 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and ten fines totaling $91,783. A for-profit limited liability company owns it. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
