Franciscan Villa in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #9 out of 282 facilities in Oklahoma, placing it in the top half, and is the best-rated facility in Tulsa County. The facility is improving, having reduced its issues from 6 in 2022 to just 2 in 2024. Staffing is average with a rating of 3 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 55%, which aligns with state averages but suggests some stability. Notably, there were no fines reported, which is a positive sign of compliance, but the RN coverage is concerning, as it is less than 88% of other state facilities. However, there are areas of concern reflected in the inspector findings. One serious issue involved failing to address significant weight loss for a resident, which indicated a need for better dietary management. Additionally, there were concerns about medication storage, with staff leaving treatment carts unlocked, and multiple residents reported dissatisfaction with the food quality, stating it was often cold or unpalatable. Overall, while Franciscan Villa has strengths in ranking and compliance history, potential residents should be aware of the identified issues regarding care and meal quality.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Franciscan Villa?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is Franciscan Villa Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, FRANCISCAN VILLA has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Franciscan Villa Stick Around?
Staff turnover at FRANCISCAN VILLA is high. At 55%, the facility is 9 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was Franciscan Villa Ever Fined?
FRANCISCAN VILLA has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Franciscan Villa on Any Federal Watch List?
FRANCISCAN VILLA is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
