FAQs
Thirty-three nursing homes in Tulsa County are certified by Medicare and Medicaid, with 3,800 certified beds. On an average day they care for approximately 2,570 residents.
Two Tulsa County facilities currently display the CMS abuse icon on Care Compare. CMS applies that icon when a facility has been cited for abuse that caused harm, or abuse that could have caused harm, within a recent inspection window. The icon is removed when the facility's record improves, so the list changes over time.
No. A citation records what inspectors found at the facility on a particular date. Whether a specific resident was harmed, and whether anyone is legally responsible for it, depends on that resident's own medical records, the timing, and the circumstances. The inspection record is a useful place to start asking questions, not an answer.
CMS refreshes its nursing home data monthly. This page reflects the October 2026 release, covering inspections completed through July 2026. Ratings and citation counts change with each refresh.
