Overview of Trinity Woods

At 3130 South Sandusky Ave, about 5.2 miles south of downtown Tulsa, Trinity Woods operates a 74-bed continuing care community in Tulsa County. The neighborhood is moderately walkable (Walk Score 59), with a handful of destinations on foot and most trips by car. The campus itself spans 40 acres with walking paths and water features, making outdoor access largely internal to the grounds.

The care model covers the full continuum: independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with rehabilitation services, all on one campus. Current occupancy is 88%, with 65 of 74 beds filled, and the average length of stay is 144 days. Total nursing hours reach 5 hours and 58 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for 39 minutes of that daily.

The amenity footprint here is extensive. The Cypress Grille serves as the on-site dining restaurant. Three libraries, a theater room, the Fleming Center Auditorium, two beauty salons, a massage therapist, a wellness nurse, a hobby zone, classrooms, a member’s club room, a business center, a postal service center, overnight guest accommodations, and concierge service round out the offerings; also pets are permitted.. An on-site chapel and outdoor prayer labyrinth anchor the Spiritual Life program.

Activities include games, exercise classes, and guest lectures. Oklahoma state inspections have touched on staffing and staff credentials and resident rights and protections.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. For families in the Tulsa area navigating a range of care needs across different life stages, Trinity Woods offers a rare combination: a full continuum of care, a large campus, meaningful amenity depth, and multi-payer access under one address.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Tulsa, OK

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 nursing home care?

Yes — Oklahoma Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 12 nursing homes in Tulsa, OK. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Tulsa, OK?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Tulsa, OK, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Tulsa, OK?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
