Southern Hills Rehabilitation Center holds a 3-star overall rating, CMS’s middle tier. Nursing staff turnover of 85% is well above the Oklahoma average of 55%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $15,766 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
