CMS source snapshot: 20 days old. These are historical CMS fields from a dated source release, not live proof of availability, certification status, an inspection outcome, or an individual's care fit.
Staffing in Oklahoma averages 3.81 nurse hours per resident per day (0.08 worse than the national average). Citations average 24.5 per home (5.8 better than the national average)— though citation counts reflect how aggressively a state's survey agency inspects, so they compare poorly across state lines.
