Nursing homes across Payne County, Oklahoma, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Stillwater Creek runs lean on nursing hours, 3.36 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 8% below its own weekday coverage. That matters because staffing tends to dip right when families visit and when backup is hardest to find. Annual turnover sits at 52.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses caring for residents are changing often. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy; the most recent state visit was March 2024. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5. For-profit partnership ownership rounds out the picture.
Westhaven runs a for-profit LLC home of 125 beds in Stillwater, and the staffing picture is mixed. Its 4.06 nurse hours per resident day edges past the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 12% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 47.8%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection side looks solid at 4 stars, though the current record carries 16 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, none at harm or jeopardy level, with the last inspection dated February 2026. What drags the overall picture is the 1-star quality measure rating, which sits awkwardly against that 4-star inspection score. Families should ask about weekend coverage and what those abuse-related citations involved.
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.
