OSP RatingOSP FairHow we rate: the OSP Rating is built from this community’s Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) survey history — weighing how recent, how frequent, and how serious the state’s inspection findings are. (Assisted living has no federal star rating, so we base it on the state’s public survey record.)

Faira solid, generally acceptable record, with a few state findings worth a quick question.

📞Often nothing to worry about. The state’s findings are summarized below — call Paul if you want help judging whether any of them would matter for your loved one.

Based on Oklahoma state (OSDH) survey history — assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.

What state inspectors found

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with findings

The May 2025 relicensure survey here produced two citations, and one of them is more than a paperwork problem. Two of five sampled direct-care staff files had no documentation of first aid and CPR training in a building that includes memory care — one of them a medication aide employed since November 16, 2021 — and the facility's own plan of correction states those employees were removed from the schedule pending proper certification. The second citation was a kitchen finding: six of 15 opened food items in one of the building's two freezers had no open or use-by date. OSDH classified both as representing the potential for more than minimal harm. Inspectors also investigated four complaints during the same visit, covering abuse and resident privacy, staffing and emergency evacuation, call lights, and the Alzheimer's disclosure form; no abuse, staffing, evacuation or call-light deficiency appears on the Statement of Deficiencies for that survey event, though the report does not link findings to individual complaints. The correction plan was accepted and an offsite/paper revisit on June 13, 2025 confirmed compliance effective June 6, 2025.

  • Four complaint investigations were conducted alongside the May 2025 relicensure survey. The survey event produced only two citations: opened food items not labeled with an open/use-by date in one of two kitchen freezers, and two of five sampled staff files with no documentation of first aid and CPR training. 05-08-2025
  • The complaints reviewed included serious concerns - resident privacy and freedom from abuse, adequate staffing and evacuation, and a working call light system. Inspectors toured the building, observed staff interacting with residents, and reviewed health records, incident reports, grievances and police reports. No abuse, staffing, evacuation or call-light deficiency appears on the Statement of Deficiencies for that survey event. 05-08-2025
  • The state accepted the facility's plan of correction, and an offsite/paper revisit on June 13, 2025 found both cited deficiencies corrected, with compliance effective June 6, 2025. 05-08-2025

What the state also noted

  • Deficiencies were cited at this survey; this is not a clean-survey record. The two citations were unlabeled opened food in one of two freezers, and no first aid/CPR documentation for 2 of 5 sampled staff files. The state rated both as a pattern — a problem touching several residents, not just one — and OSDH's letter states they 'represented the potential for more than minimal harm.'
  • The CPR/first aid citation should not be read as a paperwork matter. The facility's plan of correction states the two employees did not have up-to-date certification and were removed from the schedule until certified.
  • This building includes memory care. One of the two staff without documented first aid and CPR training was a medication aide the facility's own staff list showed as hired 11/16/21, roughly three and a half years before the May 2025 survey; the other was hired 04/30/25.
  • OSDH does not use the words 'substantiated' or 'unsubstantiated' in these reports, and the Statement of Deficiencies does not link citations to individual complaints. One complaint (OK00062940) alleged failure to ensure a clean, safe and comfortable environment, and a kitchen food-storage deficiency was cited at the same survey event, so it cannot be stated with certainty that no complaint produced a finding.
  • The facility's assertion that a facility-wide review found no other expired CPR/first aid certifications comes from its own plan of correction and was never verified on site - the only revisit was an offsite/paper review.
  • Only one survey exists in the last 24 months, so there is limited history to judge trends.
  • The survey documents are filed under the facility's operating name, Ascension Via Christi Village Ponca City.
