All 283 Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes in the state, with the government's own inspection record attached to each one. Data from CMS, July 2026.
Of the 283 facilities in Oklahoma, 27 have an active abuse flag, 2 are on the government's Special Focus list for persistent poor performance, and 10 are Special Focus candidates. Those are marked below.
The harder half is finding which of them has an open Medicaid bed, will take a Medicaid-pending applicant, and where you actually sit on the waitlist. That takes phone calls. Resbit makes them.
Start with the free screenerThe abuse flag is CMS's own marker, applied when a facility has been cited for abuse that harmed a resident, or for potential abuse, in either of its two most recent inspection cycles. It is not an allegation from a review site. If you see it, ask the facility directly what happened and what changed.
Special Focus Facility is the strongest signal on this page. CMS maintains a short national list of homes with a persistent record of poor care; they get inspected twice as often and are removed from Medicare and Medicaid if they do not improve. A candidate has been identified as a possibility for that list but is not on it.
Staffing hours matter more than the star rating in most families' experience. The number to look at is nurse hours per resident per day, and specifically the weekend figure — many homes staff well Monday to Friday and thinly on Saturday and Sunday, which is exactly when families visit and notice.
Turnover above 60% a year means the aides who know your mother's routine will mostly be gone within a year. It is one of the better predictors of day-to-day care quality and one of the least advertised.
Some names look cut off. They are. CMS truncates the facility-name field in this dataset, so a handful of longer names end mid-word. The address and phone number are complete, and that is what you need to find the place.
Almost every nursing home takes Medicaid — about 96% nationally are certified for it. Certification is not the hard part. Whether a given home has an available Medicaid bed, and whether it will accept someone whose application is still pending, is a different question, changes weekly, and is answered only by calling.
It covers nursing homes only, because those are federally certified and inspected. Assisted living is licensed by each state with no national dataset, no star ratings and no public inspection record in most places — which is a real gap, and not one we can close with data.
It also cannot tell you what a place feels like. Go at a weekend, without an appointment, near a mealtime. Talk to a family in the hallway rather than the person giving the tour.
