Our read on Oglala Sioux Lakota Nursing Home

Nurse staffing at Oglala Sioux Lakota Nursing Home runs 6.77 hours per resident day, roughly 75% above the national average of 3.86, a serious number that separates it from most homes. Staff turnover sits at 35.1%, below the national 45.8%, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. The concerns are on the record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. State surveyors gave three stars for health inspections and three for quality measures, while staffing earned five. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, which matters when aides are already stretched. For families weighing hands-on care against regulatory history, the staffing numbers are the case for this place; the deficiency record is the caution.
