Size and setting
Located in Sulphur, Oklahoma, this facility operates 72 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 47 residents - an occupancy rate of about 65%. The facility is classified under for profit - individual ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 65% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.
Same-ownership peers
Within Oklahoma, Artesian Home is one of 42 for profit - individual nursing homes CMS rates. Its 5-star overall rating sits above the for profit - individual-segment average of 2.5 stars, ahead of roughly 81% of same-ownership peers in the state.
