In its early history, Broken Arrow was a frontier town with an economy driven primarily by agriculture. Its economy has diversified since then and the city is home to the third greatest number of manufacturers per capita in the state. Economic and social diversity have made Broken Arrow attractive to businesses and residents alike, which is why its population has swelled to over 106,500 people.
Seniors make up roughly 10.4% of Broken Arrow’s population and the imminent retirement of many residents over the next decade will only serve to see a significant number of people graduate to senior status to join those who are already living out their golden years. The Broken Arrow Senior Center attracts anyone who is looking to remain active, meet peers with similar interests, or assistance with transportation and nutrition. It can be difficult for seniors to grapple with the loss of their independence and the senior center provides everything needed to delay dependence on others for as long as possible.

Since there are so many nursing centers serving the city, our Broken Arrow nursing injury lawyers chose to focus on the facilities that have received the poorest grades from Medicare, as they are most deserving of condemnation for their misdeeds and the pain wrought by their greed and carelessness. We suggest using the same tool that we used in your search for the perfect nursing home because of how thorough Medicare is in its evaluations.

Broken Arrow, OK 74012
(918) 251-2626
Ownership— For-profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: Understaffing is often the root cause for failures on the part of nursing centers to provide safe, clean, and healthy environments while assessing and addressing the needs of patients. This home has unacceptable grades in all areas of evaluation, including its quality measures and health inspection history; and its inadequate staff might have something to do with that.
Maplewood Care Center
6202 East 61st Street
Tulsa, OK 74136
(918) 494-8830
Ownership— Non-profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: The greatest cause for concern here is a reproachable one-star health inspection history that reveals the failure of nursing home management and staff to tackle issues such as disease prevention, hygiene, sanitation, proper food preparation, and keeping the properly up to the latest health code. It doesn’t help that the caliber of staff and quality measures failed to impress Medicare in the least.

Tulsa, OK 74129
(918) 628-0932
Ownership— For-profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: A one-star staff rating is indicative of the common disregard that profit centers have for investing in skilled workers to tend to the needs of patients in favor of keeping overhead low. It is always the patients who suffer the most due to understaffing, but the staff members themselves must endure the stress and challenge of meeting patients’ needs with limited time and resources.

(918) 622-4747
Ownership— For-profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: This center ran the gambit on one-star ratings, from its health inspection history to quality measures to the inferior caliber of its staff. There is absolutely nothing that makes this home a viable option to trust with the care of anyone you hold dear.

Ownership— For-profit individual
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes

(918) 496-3963
Ownership— For profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes

Jenks, OK 74037
(918) 299-8508
Ownership— For profit partnership
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: When Medicare evaluates a center’s quality measures, areas of examination include whether the staff properly review patients’ current health and medical conditions to determine their risks and needs and then how well personalized treatment plans are formed and executed. This facility received the lowest possible score in this area and its mediocre staff and health inspection history don’t help its case.

Ownership— For profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
Overall Rating— 1 star out of 5
Primary concerns: There is simply nothing good to say about Medicare’s assessment of this nursing center. Its health inspection history received the highest grade— a mere two stars.

Sand Springs, OK 74063
(918) 245-5908
Ownership— For profit corporation
Participates in Medicare/Medicaid: Yes
