What it’s like

Glade Avenue Assisted Living is a senior community in Bethany, Oklahoma offering assisted living and memory care in what it describes as a vibrant, welcoming environment built around active living rather than institutional care. The community emphasizes combining quality care with family values, positioning itself as an extended family with skilled, caring staff ready to support residents around the clock. It was intentionally designed to foster togetherness, aiming to be a place that invites people not only in but to come together.

Residents receive supervised assisted daily living, medication supervision and companion services, with an on-call registered nurse and a designated memory care unit; physical, occupational and speech therapy are available, and in-house physicians, podiatrists and psychiatrists visit the community. Daily life is supported by restaurant-style dining, a hair salon and barber, a library, a fireside living/game room, a TV/theater area and a cafe, with daily activities and exercise programs. Property management handles taxes and lawn maintenance so residents no longer have to worry about them.

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

6 inspections in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 5 with findings

Families should read this record carefully. Five of the six state inspections of Glade Avenue in the past two years cited deficiencies, and two of those were serious enough for the state to declare immediate jeopardy — its most severe finding — within about three and a half months of each other: a substantiated resident-on-resident sexual abuse incident cited 10-10-2025, and a 01-30-2026 finding that Resident #16 walked out the front door unattended, fell in the parking area, sustained a head injury with 'fresh blood noted,' and was found by a staff member driving past, with direct care staff unaware the resident was outside. A November 2024 survey also substantiated that a staff member 'grabbed [a resident] by the wrist and drug them'; the facility's plan of correction states it reported, suspended and terminated that employee, though the survey itself does not verify that. There are genuine positives. The most recent inspection, a complaint investigation on 05-08-2026 into abuse, food handling and a failure to report a sexual-abuse allegation, closed with no deficiencies cited. During the heavy 10-10-2025 visit the state investigated ten complaints and found the center in compliance on five, including an allegation that staff were mistreating residents and an allegation that medications were not given as ordered. But several of those October 2025 clearances did not hold: the 01-30-2026 survey substantiated failures in personal care and call-light response covering the very weeks the October complaints concerned, and the elopement immediate jeopardy three months later was itself a supervision failure. The state verified removal of both immediate jeopardies, and off-site paper revisits in January 2025 and September 2025 found substantial compliance on earlier citations. Families considering this center should read the full reports and ask directly about staffing levels, call-light response times, incontinence care, and exactly how residents at risk of wandering are identified and protected.

The most recent inspection, a complaint investigation on 05-08-2026, closed with no deficiencies cited. Surveyors arrived unannounced to investigate three allegations — that the facility failed to protect residents from abuse, failed to store, prepare and serve food safely, and failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse to the state health department — and cited nothing. 05-08-2026
During that May 2026 visit the surveyor watched how residents and staff interacted with one another and inspected the kitchen, checking food temperature logs and refrigerator and freezer records — and found nothing to cite. 05-08-2026
During a May 2026 visit prompted by billing and abuse complaints, surveyors observed how residents interacted with each other, with staff, and with visitors, and reviewed care plans, physician notes and nursing notes. The only deficiency cited from that visit concerned the condition of the hallway and dining room flooring. 05-06-2026
After the January 2026 elopement, the state returned on 01/30/26 and verified in person that the required fixes had been made: the elopement policy had been rewritten, staff had been trained on it, and Resident #16 had been moved into the secured memory care unit and was not exit seeking. The immediate jeopardy was lifted on that basis. Families should weigh one part of that removal plan carefully: the facility's own 'Elopement Risk Audit,' dated the day of the elopement, concluded that no resident in the building was at risk of eloping — even though the facility's own 04/11/24 form had scored Resident #16 as at risk, and a 09/15/25 service plan recorded exit-seeking behavior. 01-30-2026

Show all 11 findings

One specific October 2025 complaint — that staff were mistreating residents (#OK00086962) — was investigated and not sustained. Surveyors watched staff giving hands-on daily care and reviewed medical records before concluding the center was in compliance on that allegation. Families should know that other abuse complaints investigated during the same 10/09-10/10/25 visit were cited, including the resident-on-resident sexual abuse that led to an immediate jeopardy. 10-10-2025
Medication practice was checked in October 2025 after a complaint that medicines were not being given the way the doctor ordered. Surveyors reviewed physician orders and progress notes and found the center in compliance. This is the one October 2025 clearance not contradicted by the later surveys in this record. 10-10-2025
An October 2025 complaint that residents dependent on staff were not receiving daily personal care, and that pressure-sore prevention was not being done, was investigated and not sustained at that time (#OK00074596). Important context: three months later, the 01-30-2026 survey cited the facility for failing to provide ADL care, relying on outside home-health notes from September and October 2025 — the same period — that recorded a dependent resident found soaked in urine and feces on six separate dates. 10-10-2025
A wide-ranging October 2025 complaint about short staffing, slow call-light response, bathing preferences, medication review, family involvement in care planning, and pests was investigated — including a review of pest control invoices — and the state found the center in compliance (#OK00079030). Important context: the 01-30-2026 survey cited the facility for failing to provide contracted ADL care and housekeeping, and quoted a 10/07/25 outside-provider note stating the resident 'has been pushing [their] button for assistance for hours and no one is coming.' 10-10-2025
In the July 2025 licensing inspection, which also covered an abuse complaint, the surveyor toured the building and observed staff and residents together. The two deficiencies that came out of that visit were kitchen sanitation and a missed annual fire marshal inspection, not resident treatment. 07-14-2025
The facility submitted an accepted plan of correction for the July 2025 deficiencies, and an off-site paper revisit on 09/09/25 — a review of submitted documents rather than a return visit to the building — found the facility in substantial compliance. 07-14-2025
The same happened after the November 2024 inspection: an off-site paper revisit on 01/22/25 — again a document review, not a return to the building — found the deficiencies cited, including the hot water temperature problem and the abuse-training gap, had been corrected. 11-07-2024

What the state also noted

— The 01-30-2026 survey also documented repeated strong urine odors on hall 100 and in the rooms of Residents #11, #12 and #16 across multiple dates; a CNA who smelled urine and stated they did not check whether the resident was incontinent; missed housekeeping and shower assistance; a 10/14/25 fall never documented, never entered on an incident report and never reported to the physician; and five separate hand-hygiene failures by one CNA across four residents' rooms, including handling a catheter bag and then a supplement drink without washing hands.
— In the October 2025 sexual abuse citation, staff interviews showed the behavior was known beforehand and not acted on: a CNA said the resident was 'touchy touchy with the male residents' and had reported it to the DON; a CMA said the resident 'grabs the men between their legs sometimes. I think [they're] flirting.' Neither could identify any intervention in place.
— Several October 2025 'in compliance' findings did not hold. Complaints about ADL care for dependent residents, staffing and call-light response were not sustained on 10-10-2025, but the 01-30-2026 survey cited those same failures using evidence from September and October 2025. A complaint about supervision to prevent accidents was not sustained on 10-10-2025, yet a resident fell undetected four days later and the January 2026 immediate jeopardy was itself a supervision failure. Do not read the October clearances as current assurances.
— Environmental problems (stained and frayed carpet, chipped handrails, damaged laminate, paint splatter on flooring) were cited in October 2025, January 2026, and again in May 2026. OSDH rejected the first May 2026 plan of correction because it did not address replacing the hall 200 and 300 flooring. As of the 06/30/2026 acceptance letter, that flooring was still not installed, with alleged compliance only by 07/07/2026; no revisit result appears in the bundle.
— The 01-30-2026 survey documented that a dependent resident (#10) was found by an outside home health provider soiled in urine and/or feces on 09/11/25, 09/15/25, 09/17/25, 09/23/25, 10/03/25 and 10/07/25 — including 'found in bed soaked in urine and feces soaking through the mattress and several pads' and a note reading '[Resident #10] has been pushing [their] button for assistance for hours and no one is coming.'
— Five of the six surveys in this 24-month window cited deficiencies. This facility does not have a clean inspection history.
— Two immediate jeopardy findings — the most serious level the state issues — occurred within about three and a half months: substantiated resident-on-resident sexual abuse cited 10-10-2025 (the incident report read 'came to [Resident #2] and touched [their] leg and proceeded to grope [their genitals]'), and the 01-30-2026 elopement in which Resident #16 left out the front door unattended, fell, sustained a head injury with 'fresh blood noted,' and was found by a staff member passing by in a vehicle while direct care staff were unaware the resident was outside.
— The 01-30-2026 citation covered two failures, not one: inadequate supervision to prevent Resident #16's elopement, AND failure to ensure 'allegations of abuse were thoroughly investigated and all residents were protected during the investigation' for a separate resident (#14).
— The 11-07-2024 survey substantiated physical abuse by a staff member — an incident report documented a staff member 'was speaking rudely to Resident #1 and grabbed them by the wrist and drug them.' The citation was recorded as isolated to that one resident. The same survey also cited the center for failing to provide a staff member abuse training within 90 days of hire. The facility's plan of correction states it reported the incident to OSDH, suspended, investigated and terminated the employee — that account comes from the facility, not from any OSDH verification, and the plan of correction expressly disclaims being an admission.
— The 10-10-2025 survey also cited the center for admitting and retaining a resident it could not communicate with (no Rohingya/Bengali translation available; the administrator said '[Resident #1] don't belong here ... if someone were to pursue [them] or do something to [them] [Resident #1] can't communicate that with us') and for admitting a resident far below the contract's stated age minimum.
— OCR is incomplete for BOTH immediate-jeopardy surveys. The 01-30-2026 statement of deficiencies ends at page 23 of 35, and the 10-10-2025 statement of deficiencies ends at page 13 of 15. Material from both citations is unavailable for review.
— The bundle contains OCR pages belonging to a different, unrelated facility (Woodview Home, Inc., Ardmore, provider 375393, complaints #1904253 and #2728934) filed inside the 01-30-2026 section. None of those observations were used in this record.
— The 'complaints substantiated' count (12 of 20) is approximate: the 01-30-2026 survey investigated four complaints together and the 05-06-2026 survey two, issuing citations without attributing them to individual complaint numbers.

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 Paul · (405) 655-5309

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.

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.
