What state inspectors found

2 inspections in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings

Brookdale Norman has a mixed recent record, and it is worth knowing both halves. In August 2024 the state did a full inspection plus a complaint investigation and cited nothing, with the surveyor noting staff answering call lights and helping residents with daily care in clean, odor-free halls. The December 2025 relicensure survey was harder on the community: inspectors cited three problems, the most serious being that three of eight sampled residents missed doses of prescribed medications because the medications were not in stock. The community submitted a correction plan the state accepted, and a March 2026 revisit confirmed the problems were fixed.

  • In August 2024 the state completed a full relicensure inspection and a complaint investigation at the same time, and found nothing at all to cite. 08-13-2024
  • During that 2024 visit the surveyor watched staff answering call lights and helping residents with everyday tasks such as dressing, bathing and getting around, and walked the halls checking for odors and a clean, home-like feel. 08-13-2024
  • The 2024 complaint alleged the community did not supervise residents well enough to prevent falls, did not have enough staff, and did not answer call lights in a timely way. Inspectors came in unannounced, sampled eight residents, reviewed staffing records and grievance records, and interviewed residents and staff. No deficiency came out of it. 08-13-2024
  • In the December 2025 visit, inspectors specifically looked into complaint allegations of neglect, coercion, denial of resident choice, weight loss from poor nutrition, fall hazards, and slow call-light response. None of those areas ended up among the three deficiencies the state wrote up. 12-29-2025
Show all 5 findings
  • The community responded to what was found. The state accepted its correction plan, and a follow-up review in March 2026 confirmed the December 2025 deficiencies had been corrected and the community was back in substantial compliance. 12-29-2025

What the state also noted

  • The December 2025 survey cited three deficiencies: food temperatures not checked before meal service, a menu substitution made without notifying the dietitian, and medications not administered per physician orders for 3 of 8 sampled residents because the medications were unavailable.
  • The state's letter described the December 2025 deficiencies as representing 'the potential for more than minimal harm.'
  • Missed medications included a Parkinson's medication, a mood stabilizer for a resident with bipolar disorder and epilepsy, and several ongoing daily medications over multiple days.
  • OSDH reports do not formally label complaints 'substantiated' or 'unsubstantiated'; the count here reflects that the medication allegation in complaint #OK00088033 corresponds to a citation, while the other allegations do not.
  • This facility's site rating is Fair, and the positives above should be read alongside the December 2025 citations, not instead of them.

Summarized from Oklahoma State Department of Health survey documents. Inspections are a snapshot of specific days and sample a small number of residents.
