Jan Frances Care Center runs 132 certified beds in Ada, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.06 hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below what the home already provides on weekdays. Staff turnover is 56.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people doing the hands-on care keep changing. On the inspection side, the record shows 43 deficiencies, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was January 9, 2025. A single fine of $13,733 is also on file.
Emerald Care Center Southwest is a for-profit, individually owned home with 112 certified beds in Oklahoma City. Its 3.33 nurse staffing hours per resident day fall about 14% below the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% leaner than weekdays already are. Annual turnover sits at 65.8% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. Inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with an $8,278 fine and a December 2024 inspection. CMS gives it 1 of 5 stars for health inspections and 2 for both quality measures and staffing.
Ranchwood Nursing Center carries a staffing burden that shows up in the numbers: 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends running about 11% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 73.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new, and the current record shows 46 deficiencies, four of them at the harm level and four tied to abuse. Two fines total $168,835, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care. The last inspection was September 2025.
South Pointe runs 375 beds in Oklahoma City under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the part that matters most: 56 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, ten tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and fines total $202,060 across three penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 40.8% is lower than the national 45.8%, which is a genuine bright spot. The quality measure rating is strong, but that data comes from the home's own reporting, the inspection findings are what the state actually observed.
Miami Nursing Center runs 82 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What stands out is the inspection record: 42 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus $33,924 in fines across three penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and its last inspection was August 14, 2025.
First Shamrock Care Center runs on 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and staffing barely changes on weekends, so the thin coverage you'd see on a Tuesday is roughly what you'd get on a Saturday. Nearly three in four caregivers left over the past year, against a national rate closer to 46%. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was July 2024. Fines total $8,351. Kingfisher families should ask what the abuse-related findings involved and how the home plans to hold onto staff.
Garland Road runs a corporation-owned home of 118 beds in Enid, and the numbers split in a way families should notice. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 6% thinner than weekdays, and staff turnover lands at 42.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble sits in inspections: 33 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a one-star health inspection rating. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, meaning the agency itself is tracking it for persistent problems. The most recent inspection was May 6, 2025.
Willow Park runs on 3.09 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip even further below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage sits alongside a 66.7% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are constantly changing. The current inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and CMS has fined the home twice for a combined $60,371. All three of its federal star ratings land at one out of five.
If you're weighing Homestead of Hugo for someone you love, the staffing numbers are the first thing to sit with. At 2.91 nurse hours per resident per day, this for-profit home runs about a quarter below the national average, and weekends drop further below its own weekday level, meaning the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to find. Turnover sits near 71%, well above the national 46%, so the people providing that care are cycling through fast. The inspection record backs up the concern: 43 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $33,262 in fines. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at one out of five.
Southern Pointe Living Center runs on 1.87 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly half the national average of 3.86. That staffing shortfall sits alongside a 72.5% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the aides and nurses caring for your family member are likely newer and still learning the building. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including two at the level of actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, and the last state visit was September 18, 2025. One fine of $38,445 has been levied against this for-profit corporation. Each of the three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, comes in at just one or two out of five.
