WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Westhaven Nursing Home in Stillwater, Oklahoma, has a Trust Grade of C+, indicating that it is slightly above average compared to other facilities. Ranked #142 out of 282 in Oklahoma, this places it in the bottom half of state facilities, while it holds the #2 position out of 3 in Payne County, suggesting limited local options. The facility is showing an improving trend, having reduced its issues from 7 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025. Staffing is average with a turnover rate of 56%, consistent with state averages, and there have been no fines recorded, which is a positive sign.

Overall, while there are strengths in staffing stability and no fines, families should be aware of the identified concerns regarding medication management and documentation practices.

This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is Westhaven Staffed?
CMS rates WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 56%, which is 10 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 56%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.

State health inspectors documented 17 deficiencies at WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME during 2020 to 2025. These included: 17 with potential for harm.
Who Owns and Operates Westhaven?
WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility operates independently rather than as part of a larger chain. With 125 certified beds and approximately 58 residents (about 46% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in STILLWATER, Oklahoma.
How Does Westhaven Compare to Other Oklahoma Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oklahoma, WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME's overall rating (3 stars) is above the state average of 2.6, staff turnover (56%) is near the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Westhaven?
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 Westhaven Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME 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 3-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 Westhaven Stick Around?
Staff turnover at WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME is high. At 56%, the facility is 10 percentage points above the Oklahoma average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 56%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. 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 Westhaven Ever Fined?
WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME 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 Westhaven on Any Federal Watch List?
WESTHAVEN NURSING HOME 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.
