Overview of Montereau

Montereau operates as a continuing care retirement community (Life Plan Community) at 6800 South Granite Avenue in Tulsa’s South Granite neighborhood. Established as a nonprofit in 1999 and administered by Tracie Nail under the ownership of Saunya Moore, the facility houses a 74-bed skilled nursing section within a 183-licensed-bed continuum of care serving nursing, assisted living, and specialized dementia care.

The resident population is predominantly private-pay (75.4% of current residents); new admissions split roughly evenly between Medicare short-stay rehabilitation (43%) and private-pay (57%) placements, with average stays of 25 days for Medicare and two to three months for private-pay.

Montereau’s regulatory performance reflects consistent compliance. Over six years, the facility incurred three deficiencies, averaging 0.5 per year—90% better than Oklahoma’s annual average of 4.9.

Most state complaint investigations resulted in unsubstantiated findings; the facility’s history includes one substantiated complaint (2021) involving inadequate discharge notice wording, now corrected, and one recent deficiency (November 2025) related to hand hygiene during food plating in a secondary kitchen, corrected within six weeks.

A single $9,000 civil money penalty was imposed in 2023, roughly 79% lower than the state average. No Medicare payment suspensions have been recorded.

Clinical operations are well-staffed. Nursing hours reach 5 hours 33 minutes per resident daily, exceeding the state average by 9% and ranking the facility eighth among 46 Oklahoma nursing homes. Staff turnover appears controlled, with employees comprising 79% of the workforce and contractors providing 15.5% of hours, primarily in specialized therapy roles.

Falls with major injury occur in only 1.7% of residents; 61% better than state performance, while antipsychotic medication use stands at 4.4%, far below the state average of 15.5%. Functional decline and depressive symptoms, however, present challenges: functional decline scores run 54% worse than state averages, and depressive symptoms affect 6.1% of long-stay residents versus the state average of 3.3%.

Montereau suits private-pay and Medicare residents seeking established continuing care in a financially stable, well-staffed community, though functional outcomes and mental health support warrant careful individual assessment.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Oklahoma?

Assisted living in Oklahoma supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Oklahoma?

Assisted living in Oklahoma is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Oklahoma Medicaid cover assisted living?

Oklahoma Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Oklahoma) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
