Nursing homes across Le Flore County, Oklahoma, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Talihina Manor runs 69 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 2% below its own weekday levels, which matters in a small rural home where backup staff are harder to call in. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, one of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspections land in the middle. For a family weighing this home, the questions worth asking are about weekend coverage and how that abuse deficiency was resolved.
Spiro Nursing Home runs 95 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That margin is thin enough that the weekend dip matters: staffing drops roughly 14% below weekday levels, so weekend coverage looks noticeably lighter than what you'd see on a Tuesday. Turnover at 42.6% is a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability, though not dramatically so. The health inspection record is solid at 4 stars, and the most recent survey came in June 2025. But nine deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly before you decide.
The Oaks Healthcare Center runs about 3.07 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 57.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half its caregivers left within the year. State inspectors cited 37 deficiencies on the current record, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level; that February 2025 inspection is recent. Weekend staffing runs slightly above the home's own weekday level, which is unusual. The for-profit limited liability company that owns it holds two out of five stars for both health inspections and staffing, and one out of five for quality measures.
Pocola Health and Rehab runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here, though weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 50%, higher than the 45.8% national average. The inspection record is where it gets harder to explain away: 28 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and one fine of $14,069, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. CMS rates quality measures 1 out of 5 and inspections 2 out of 5.
Heavener Nursing & Rehab runs 84 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related; the most recent visit was April 3, 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 2 out of 5. Two harm-level findings alongside below-average staffing is the pattern worth asking about directly.
Riverside Health Services runs 56 certified beds in Arkoma under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 5.08 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average. That sounds like good news until you notice weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 58.5%, well past the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record is more concerning still: 14 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and two fines adding up to $115,170. CMS scored its most recent inspection, from February 2025, at 2 of 5 stars. High raw staffing hours paired with that much turnover and that many serious findings is the tension worth weighing.
