Maplewood Care Center

Maplewood Care Center sits at 6202 E 61st St in Tulsa, serving seniors who need nursing care, memory care, and support with daily living, and you'll find it's been open since 2002, run by Senior Care Group Inc and under Charles Rhoades' management since 2016, which means there's a long history and plenty of experience here. Residents with Alzheimer's or dementia get special attention in the Known Memory Care at Tulsa unit, and there's skilled nursing, comfort and palliative care, as well as all the services you'd expect in a nursing home, including long-term care, short-term rehab, wound care, and even dialysis. You'll find 180 certified beds and amenities for health and well-being, plus renovated spaces and friendly staff, and the team keeps a focus on making it home-like, clean, and comfortable, like with the new floors and fresh paint. Maplewood offers things like nutritional counseling, behavioral care, transportation, and help for family caregivers, and there's information and guidance on long-term care insurance. For people needing higher levels of care, Maplewood also provides high acuity care, hospice services, therapy, and dedicated staff trained on senior needs. While there's a focus on compassion and meeting each person's needs, the facility does have a history of serious quality problems, with nurse turnover higher than the state average, and past deficiencies on things like timely reporting of suspected abuse and keeping areas safe from hazards, but none were found to have caused actual harm, even though they had the potential for more than minimal harm, and government inspectors have not flagged Maplewood, though it's listed as a Special Focus Facility Candidate. Maplewood is a non-profit and holds high rankings and accreditations from health organizations, but it's not accredited by the BBB even though it follows BBB standards for trust, with an A+ rating and an active business profile. Staffing averages 3.73 nurse hours per resident per day, so there's a decent level of hands-on care, even though the nurse turnover is high. The environment gets described as high-energy and friendly, and reviews score it 3.5 out of 5, based on 66 accounts, so people have mixed experiences. Families and residents can expect common nursing home features, a team committed to patient well-being, and a continued effort toward improvements, innovation, and reliable care for seniors in Tulsa.
