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 · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings

State inspectors visited Arbor House Reminisce twice in the past two years. A September 2024 complaint investigation into allegations of abuse, narcotics handling, and staffing closed with no deficiencies cited at all; the surveyor observed residents during activities, at meals, and while receiving care and medications from staff. At the October 2025 licensure visit, which also covered two complaints, the surveyor wrote that residents were clean, dressed appropriately, and free of odors, with staff assisting them with activities of daily living. That visit did cite one deficiency — the building's annual fire marshal inspection had not been done for 2025 — while the complaints about hot water and about resident elopement produced no citation. The fire marshal cleared the building on October 30, 2025 and the state verified the facility back in compliance effective that date.

  • On the October 2025 visit the surveyor toured the building and found residents clean, dressed appropriately, and free of odors. 10-15-2025
  • Staff were seen helping residents with everyday personal care during that same visit. 10-15-2025
  • Two complaints investigated in October 2025 — one about residents not having hot water, one about the building being secure enough to prevent a resident wandering off — produced no citation on either subject; the only deficiency written up was a missing annual fire marshal inspection. 10-15-2025
  • The fire marshal inspection was completed within about two weeks and the state confirmed the facility back in compliance. 10-15-2025
Show all 6 findings
  • A September 2024 complaint investigation into allegations of abuse, mishandled narcotics, and inadequate staffing closed with no citations at all. 09-03-2024
  • During that 2024 investigation the surveyor watched residents during activities, at meals, and while receiving care and medications from staff. 09-03-2024

What the state also noted

  • Compliance was verified by an offsite/paper revisit on 11/10/2025, not an on-site re-inspection.
  • The October 2025 survey was not clean: one deficiency was cited for no 2025 annual fire marshal inspection on file — an isolated finding, touching one or a few residents. OSDH's letter states the deficiency represented "the potential for more than minimal harm."
  • The 09-03-2024 complaint number is one investigation; the October 2025 visit covered two complaint numbers (OK00075574 and OK00081257), so three complaint investigations total.
  • The September 2024 investigative report contains no observations about resident cleanliness, grooming, or odors — that language comes only from the October 2025 reports and should not be applied to the 2024 visit.
  • That the hot-water and elopement allegations were not sustained is inferred from the Statement of Deficiencies listing only the fire marshal tag; the reports do not use the word 'unsubstantiated'.

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.

Call me before you contact a single community.One conversation usually saves a family weeks, and costs you nothing — here’s why, and how I get paid.
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.
