South Park East runs 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, but weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger strain is turnover: 64.3% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. On paper the quality measures look strong, yet the inspection record tells a harder story, 19 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm level, and a $15,480 fine. A for-profit LLC with a recent inspection and that many citations is worth asking about directly.
Linwood Village runs 67 certified beds in Cushing under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, with weekends roughly 10% thinner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover hits 58.6% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your family would see most are cycling out faster than at a typical home. The current inspection record carries 18 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Federal ratings put staffing and health inspections at 2 out of 5 stars, quality measures at 3. A May 2025 inspection is recent, so the findings reflect current conditions.
Anadarko Nursing & Rehab runs 92 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. The staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, which means nurse hours per resident fall well below what CMS expects, that's the weakest signal here, and it's the one that shapes daily life most. Inspections tell a similar story: 17 deficiencies on record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $14,867 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The 4-out-of-5 quality measure score and a 42.4% turnover rate slightly better than the 45.8% national average are real positives, but they don't offset thin staffing and a recent inspection record that drew serious citations.
Calera Manor runs on 2.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 42 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage, the federal staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5, is the backdrop for 24 deficiencies on the current record, four of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Turnover sits at 42.2 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 82-bed home, which was last inspected in June 2025. A 3-out-of-5 inspection rating and 2-out-of-5 on quality measures round out a picture where daily staffing is the main question.
Heritage at Brandon Place runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.94 nurse hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends slip about 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Nearly nine in ten caregivers left over the past year. Inspectors have cited 22 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $35,311 in fines and a January 2026 inspection the most recent. The five-star quality measure score looks good on paper, but that rating reflects resident assessment data, not the hands available to answer a call light.
Shawnee Care Center runs 3.58 nursing hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team turns over in a year. The inspection record is the harder read: 71 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and one fine of $22,393, with the most recent inspection in July 2024. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Hobart Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 58 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. The most recent inspection in August 2025 produced a clean record on serious findings, nine deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and one fine of $13,070. But staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 71.4% means most of the people caring for your family member this year likely won't be there next year. Strong inspection results are worth something, but they reflect a moment in time; the daily staffing picture is what your relative actually lives with.
Grace Skilled Nursing and Therapy in Jenks runs about 3.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits alongside a 74.8 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The current record shows 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $15,646 fine and a September 2025 inspection. All three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 2 out of 5. For-profit partnership ownership.
Tuscany Village runs about 3.06 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, around 10% under its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 62.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The current inspection record shows 60 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, along with a $10,033 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2025, so the picture is recent. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.
Broadway Care & Rehab Center runs 105 certified beds in Muskogee under for-profit LLC ownership, and its overall nurse staffing of 3.93 hours per resident day sits only about 2% above the national average, a thin margin that mostly disappears on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 26% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 55.1% against a 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 28 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $37,638 in fines and a May 2025 inspection that produced a 1-star health inspection rating.
Walnut Grove runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, 3.29 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are leaner still, about 13% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters, because 67.7% of staff turned over last year versus 45.8% nationally, meaning the people providing that care are often new to the building. The inspection record reflects it: 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four related to abuse, plus a $31,460 fine. The last full inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, but the hands-on side of the operation is where the concern sits.
Thunder Care and Rehabilitation runs 154 certified beds in Moore, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.06 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 58.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is heavier still, 42 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, eight tied to abuse, and one fine of $30,137. CMS has placed this for-profit, individually owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, and the most recent inspection was April 24, 2025.
Drumright Nursing Home carries 31 deficiencies on its current record, and four of those rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy to residents, with three tied to abuse. Inspectors were last in the building in September 2025, so this isn't a stale picture. The fine history backs it up: three penalties totaling just over $102,000. Turnover runs at 78.1% a year against a national average near 46%, which means the aides and nurses caring for your family member are, more often than not, new and still learning the building. All three CMS ratings, inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at the lowest possible mark. For-profit, limited liability ownership. If you're considering this one, ask hard questions before signing anything.
McAlester Nursing & Rehab runs on thin staffing margins, the lowest tier on CMS's staffing measure, and that's the number that should worry you most, since aides and nurses are who actually deliver daily care. Turnover sits at 64.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly two of every three employees left within the year; that churn shows up as unfamiliar faces and inconsistent care. The current record carries 16 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $17,193 in fines. The last inspection was July 31, 2024, so that record is recent. For-profit, limited liability ownership is worth knowing too.
Oakridge Nursing Center runs 104 beds in Durant under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger red flag is turnover: 77% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are likely new to the building. Twenty deficiencies are on record, one serious enough to involve harm, with a $14,069 fine. The last inspection was January 2025.
Choctaw Nation Nursing Home runs on 3.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average, and weekend coverage slips slightly below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is staff churn: 70% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means caregivers are constantly new, which matters most for residents who need consistent attention. Inspectors cited 30 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $38,532 fine and a June 2025 inspection. The quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5. This is a limited liability, for-profit home, and the numbers show a building where oversight and retention are both under strain.
Ignite Medical Resort Norman runs 52 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover tells a bigger story: 68 percent annually against a national 45.8 percent, meaning most of the people caring for residents are new to the building. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, along with one fine of $16,660 and a health inspection star of 1 out of 5; the last survey was August 2024. Quality measures score well, but that's where the good news stops.
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.
The numbers at 24th Place in Norman describe a home running short on just about every measure. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, about 21% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 5% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 75.3% against a national 45.8%, which means most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year.
The inspection record backs that up: 33 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, plus $23,179 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating.
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.
