Zarrow Pointe Sets the Bar for Nursing Care Communities

For over three decades, the Zarrow Pointe retirement community has proudly served as a leader in excellence for senior adult citizens of Tulsa. They incorporate an exceptional standard of quality care with a philosophy of wellness and vibrancy into advancing years. There are a wealth of programs available to enrich growth, learning, fitness, and exploration tailored to give each and every resident the opportunity to thrive. 

In December of 2018, Zarrow Pointe was recognized for its dedication by the Oklahoma State Department of Health by earning a zero-deficiency rating in its annual inspection. This achievement truly crowns the facility as a shining star among top tier nursing care facilities statewide. 

The inspection is conducted every year by the Oklahoma State Department’s Long-Term Care and Protective Health Services sector. Facilities are given no prior notice to the time of their inspection. Surveyors typically investigate every aspect of a community’s compliance to state-mandated regulations over a five-day course of rigorous audits. Nursing care facilities must meet the required standards in all aspects of operations and resident care in order to maintain their license to operate. The state department surveyors look into every category of a facility, including: quality of nursing care, resident satisfaction, policies and procedures, medication administration, environmental services, dietary services, sanitation standards, medical records, administration, equipment, maintenance, social services, human resource management, and the overall safety, quality, and effectiveness of a facility. 

When asked about Zarrow Pointe’s exceptional performance in the 2018 inspection, CEO Jim Jakubovitz credits a compassionate team that embraces a resident-centered approach: “The annual inspection is a very reliable way to assess the quality of care received by seniors in nursing care facilities. A deficiency-free status from the State Department of Health is an outstanding achievement for Zarrow Pointe, and a testament to the tireless efforts of our staff members, who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional care to our residents by putting their needs first in everything that they do.”

Ask any staff member at Zarrow Pointe what their philosophy is, and its likely they will all agree that wellness is a way of life worth striving for. Zarrow Pointe exemplifies this idea through its commitment to its residents, making it so much more than just a care facility. As the record shows, for residents and staff alike, Zarrow Pointe represents a thriving community and an excellent place to call home.  ZP
