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.
3 inspections in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 2 with findings
Arbor House was inspected three times in the last two years, and two of those three visits resulted in citations. The clean visit was a February 2025 complaint investigation into abuse, grievances, and pests, which closed with no deficiencies; the surveyor found no signs of pests in resident rooms and observed residents receiving assistance in a non-aggressive manner. The October 2024 complaint survey cited the center for failing to report an alleged abuse incident to the state within the required one business day: a resident reported on 08/26/24 that a staff member had been rough and hurt their arm, and the report did not reach OSDH until 09/09/24. The February 2026 licensure survey cited four items: two resident assessments missing required signatures (cited at the pattern level), a medication error in which a resident received one 325 mg acetaminophen tablet instead of the ordered 650 mg and one nasal spray per nostril instead of two, a discharged resident's February 2025 medication and treatment records not retained, and a kitchen employee with no documented abuse training within 90 days of hire. The center filed correction plans after both cited surveys — the February 2026 plan only after the state rejected its first version — and offsite paper revisits in November 2024 and April 2026 found the center back in substantial compliance. At the October 2024 visit the surveyor saw staff answering call lights promptly, and the three residents interviewed that day said they felt safe from abuse.

Every inspection Oklahoma has on record for this community. The rating is based on the last 2 years, so a community is not scored on something it corrected long ago — but the older record is here to read either way.

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.
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.
Oklahoma Senior Placement can get you current availability, the real monthly price, and a tour at Arbor House Assisted Living Center — at no cost to your family.
