About
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.

5 inspections in the last two years · 2 with no deficiencies cited · 3 with findings
Oklahoma inspectors completed five surveys at Glade Avenue Assisted Living South in Bethany over the last two years, and three of the five resulted in citations. The most recent, on January 16, 2026, cited the center under Resident Rights - Abuse/Neglect for failing to ensure adequate supervision to prevent elopement for two of three sampled residents. One resident with dementia and a traumatic brain injury left the building twice in December 2025 - climbing the courtyard fence on 12/11 and walking out a hall exit door on 12/22 - and was found about two miles away the first time and, per the responding police officer, about four miles away on foot the second time. Surveyors tested the exit-door add-on alarms on three separate days and found two of them still not sounding; there was no log of alarm checks, no staff trained to reset them, and the resident's hourly safety checks had been written up at the end of shifts rather than at the times they were scheduled. The same survey cited dirty and frayed hall carpet, a peeling stained ceiling, a missing air vent cover, and a resident room with no baseboards. The second at-risk resident had never been added to the staff ADL reference sheet or their own service plan as an elopement risk. Two October 2025 complaint investigations, both about elopement, closed with no deficiencies - but those clean findings came only weeks before the December elopements, so they should not be read as reassurance on that risk. Earlier surveys cited kitchen storage and sanitation, a missing 2024 annual fire marshal inspection, meals that did not match the dietitian-planned menu, hall-delivered food at 85 to 99 degrees, hot water below 115 degrees at resident sinks, comprehensive assessments completed without interviewing the resident or a representative, missed doses of physician-ordered medication, and inaccurate documentation of medications not given. The center submitted correction plans that OSDH accepted (the 2024 plan only after an initial rejection), and the July 2025 findings were accepted as corrected on an off-site paper review in September 2025. As of the newest document in this packet, OSDH had accepted the January 2026 correction plan but had not yet completed the revisit to verify the fixes. If you are considering this center for someone with dementia, ask to see the daily door-alarm log, ask how hourly safety checks are documented in real time and by whom, ask what happened with the hall and room repairs, and ask how the center decides when a resident's needs exceed what it can safely provide.

Call me before you call them. Once you contact the community directly, they treat you as a walk-in — and I usually can't step in as your advocate anymore. Reach me first and you keep someone on your side for the whole search, free. There are a couple of things about this community I'd tell you on the phone that aren't on this page.
