What it’s like

Aberdeen Heights is a warm, recently renovated assisted living community set on wooded grounds in South Tulsa at 7220 South Yale Avenue, directly across from St. Francis Hospital and close to historic downtown, restaurants, and medical offices. The community is built around helping residents feel safe, supported, social, and engaged every day, offering private studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments (450–912 sq ft), each with a kitchenette and a safety-equipped bathroom outfitted with pull cords and pendants. Secure garden and patio areas and mature trees give the setting a calm, residential feel.

Care is personalized to each resident's needs and delivered by care associates on-site around the clock, with licensed nursing and medication management for those who need daily support. Daily life centers on socialization and wellness, with more than 300 planned activities each month—board games, faith services, fitness, movies, and outings—plus chef-prepared meals served table-side using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Housekeeping, linen service, maintenance, and scheduled transportation round out a maintenance-free lifestyle designed for comfort and independence.

State Inspection Record

Oklahoma inspects every assisted living and memory care community on a regular schedule, plus any time a complaint comes in. Inspectors are state employees, not part of this site — what follows is what they found, in their own words.

Built by Paul Swales, a senior placement advisor, from Oklahoma State Department of Health inspection records — not from reviews. Assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.

What state inspectors found

2 inspections in the last two years · 2 with findings

State inspectors visited Aberdeen Heights twice in the past two years, and both visits resulted in citations, so this is not a spotless record. That said, what the surveyor actually saw during the July 2025 complaint investigation was reassuring: over three days investigating four complaints — including allegations of abuse and of a dirty building — staff were observed treating residents with respect and dignity, rooms were being cleaned, and no odors were detected. Neither the abuse nor the cleanliness allegations resulted in a citation, and the state stated that no actual harm to residents was identified, though the same letter described the deficiencies it did cite as carrying the potential for more than minimal harm. The October 2025 licensure survey cited unlabeled opened food in a freezer and refrigerator, kitchen staff not wearing hairnets or beard covers and not changing gloves between tasks, and four of ten sampled residents whose comprehensive assessments were not completed within 14 days of admission; the state confirmed those were corrected in an offsite/paper revisit on December 17, 2025. The two July 2025 complaint-survey citations — a lunch that differed from the dietitian-approved menu, and one resident's power of attorney not being notified when the resident was taken to the hospital — had a correction plan the state accepted, but this record set contains no revisit letter confirming they were verified as corrected.

  • The community corrected everything the October 2025 licensure survey found. The state confirmed compliance through an offsite/paper revisit (a document review rather than a return visit) on December 17, 2025. 10-13-2025
  • The state accepted the community's written correction plans for both surveys, which included retraining kitchen and nursing staff and running weekly audits to make sure the fixes stuck. 10-13-2025
  • During a three-day, unannounced complaint investigation, the state surveyor watched staff interacting with residents and described them as treating residents with respect and dignity. 07-16-2025
  • The surveyor saw residents' rooms being cleaned and noted there was no foul odor anywhere in the building — a complaint had specifically alleged the community was not clean or homelike. 07-16-2025
Show all 6 findings
  • Four separate complaints were investigated together over three days, including allegations of abuse and of an unclean environment. The only two problems the state wrote up were a lunch that did not match the dietitian-approved menu and one instance where a resident's power of attorney was not notified — no abuse or environment citation resulted. 07-16-2025
  • After that complaint survey, the health department stated that no actual harm to residents had been identified, and chose not to recommend penalties at that time (the same letter also described the cited deficiencies as carrying the potential for more than minimal harm). 07-16-2025

What the state also noted

  • Both surveys in the 24-month window cited deficiencies; there were no clean surveys.
  • The October 13, 2025 licensure survey cited two items: unlabeled opened food in 1 of 1 freezer and 1 of 2 refrigerators plus kitchen staff not using hairnets/beard covers or changing gloves between tasks (a server was observed using the same gloves to load the dishwasher and then make toast), and comprehensive assessments not completed within 14 days of admission for 4 of 10 sampled residents.
  • The July 16, 2025 complaint survey cited two items: a lunch served that did not match the registered dietitian's approved menu (the cook said they lacked enough food items and the kitchen manager was on leave), and failure to notify one resident's power of attorney when the resident was transported to the hospital after a change in condition — the POA learned of it by text message from the hospital.
  • OSDH characterized the deficiencies from BOTH surveys as representing 'the potential for more than minimal harm.'
  • The December 17, 2025 revisit was an offsite/paper revisit (document review), not an on-site inspection, and it addressed only the October 13, 2025 survey.
  • No revisit letter or revisit State Form verifying correction of the two July 16, 2025 complaint-survey deficiencies appears in this record set. The facility's plan of correction was accepted on August 13, 2025 with an alleged compliance date of September 5, 2025, but correction was not confirmed by the state in the documents available.
  • The bundle does not attribute each citation to a specific complaint number, so the count of substantiated complaints is an estimate. Only the POA-notification citation maps clearly onto a pleaded allegation; the menu citation does not correspond directly to any allegation as written.

My help finding the right community costs your family nothing.

You never pay me — the community pays my fee, and only if someone I introduce moves in. And one person calls you back: me, not a call center.

  • The price above is not the price you’ll pay. Care-level charges, community fees, medication management and second-person fees all stack on top of that base rate. I’ll walk you through what this community really charges for someone in your loved one’s situation — and push to get the move-in fee and deposit reduced.
  • Whether they have a room, and would take your loved one. I’ll find out what’s actually open right now and whether they’d genuinely accept this level of care, before you spend a morning touring.
  • How it compares to the others nearby. I hold the same state record for every community in the metro. Their sales office will never tell you the place four miles away has a cleaner history.

Paul Swales, Senior Placement Advisor at Oklahoma Senior Placement

I’m Paul Swales, and this is what I do all day. A senior placement advisor is the person who finds the right community for your family and does the hard part for you. I’ve read the state health department’s inspection record on every community in this metro. I know which ones will genuinely take your loved one’s level of care, and I make the calls — so you’re not doing this alone at eleven at night on your phone.

It works like a buyer’s agent in real estate. Your family never pays me. The community pays my fee, and only if someone I introduce actually moves in. There’s no cost to your family and no obligation to keep using me.

The one catch is the order. They only pay my fee if I introduce you before you contact them yourself. Call them first and you’re a walk-in — I can’t step in as your advocate after that. It costs your family nothing either way. It only decides whether you have someone on your side.
