Nursing homes across Osage County, Oklahoma, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Skiatook Nursing Home runs 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and weekend staffing holds close to weekday levels. But that staffing star rating comes out at 1 out of 5, because the hours aren't translating into a stable workforce: turnover is 58.8% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related. A 4/5 inspection rating and October 2024 visit are pluses, but the combination of high turnover and abuse citations is what keeps this at a B rather than higher. Worth asking about direct-care aide retention.
Barnsdall Nursing Home runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers split in two directions. Its staffing rating sits at the bottom of the federal scale, meaning resident care hours fall well short of what CMS considers adequate, that's the single biggest thing to weigh here. The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, four of them tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the last full inspection was in August 2023. A mid-range inspection rating with a bottom-tier staffing score tells you the building passes minimum checks but runs lean on the people actually doing the daily care. Ask about direct-care hours per resident before you decide.
Fairfax Behavioral Health & Memory Care runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 21% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 36 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with $71,440 in fines across two penalties. CMS rated it 2 stars for health inspections, 1 for quality measures, and 2 for staffing. The corporation that owns it has kept the same problems on the books through a July 2025 inspection, which is recent enough to count as current, not past.
