More about The Villages at Southern Hills
The building itself has been called beautiful and new, CMS shows strong quality and inspection scores with no health deficiencies or fines on the recent record, and the facility holds a Women’s Choice top-2% skilled-nursing recognition plus a posted 4.19/5 customer-satisfaction score. Day to day you are in 12-hour rhythm territory, with night and weekend differentials advertised and a weekend RN Supervisor path that oversees charge nurses. Postings list health, dental, vision, company-paid life insurance, holiday pay, and PTO. Pay feedback is mixed: some nurses call overall compensation low for the workload, while nights, weekends, and extra shifts are where the better numbers show up; LPN listings estimate roughly $36,000–$60,000 a year, and the 401(k) has been noted without a match. The honest tradeoff is staffing. CMS staffing sits at 3.0 stars, total nurse hours per resident day land near 4.0, and nurses on the floor have described heavy loads—including CNAs around 27 patients when short. If you want a smaller Tulsa skilled-nursing setting with solid inspection marks and clear differential pay on harder shifts, this is the concrete picture you weigh.
