Shawn Manor runs on noticeably thin nursing hours, 3.02 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage doesn't drop off from there, which is one small point in its favor. Staff turnover sits right at the national average of 45.8%, so retention isn't the standout problem here. What stands out is the inspection record: 22 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way and five tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in November 2024, so that record is recent. Strong marks on health inspections and quality measures sit alongside a two-star staffing picture, which is the tension worth understanding before deciding.

Ponca City Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 157 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with the last full survey in August 2024 and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. The softer numbers are elsewhere. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 55.4% outpaces the national 45.8%, which matters for anyone who wants consistent caregivers. Quality measures rate 2 out of 5.

Bradbury Commons sits in Ponca City with 68 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation. Inspectors gave it top marks on health inspections, and the record shows no abuse deficiencies. But staffing is where the picture darkens, the federal staffing rating bottoms out at 1 out of 5, meaning nurse and aide hours fall well below what CMS expects. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was July 2024, so the findings are recent. Strong survey results and a thin caregiving workforce can coexist, and that tension is worth weighing before you decide.

Hillcrest Manor runs on 2.96 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall shows up across the board: two out of five stars each for staffing, health inspections, and quality measures, with 24 deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine totaling $46,898. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 137 certified beds, inspected most recently on April 4, 2025. No abuse citations appear on the record, which is worth noting, but the staffing numbers and inspection history are the story here.
