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

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with findings

John H Johnson Care Suites had one state inspection in the past two years, in May 2025, combining a routine licensing survey with four complaint investigations. The complaints covered serious ground - medication administration and controlled-drug counts, dignity and respect, wound care, response to a change in condition, falsified records, pests and rodents, and missing personal clothing. After touring the building, observing residents and staff, and reviewing health records, incident reports, grievances and police reports, inspectors issued no citation tied to the medication, dignity, records, change-of-condition or wound-care allegations. Families should read that carefully: the reports state what was observed and reviewed but never say the allegations were unsubstantiated, so 'no citation' is what the documents support, not a finding that nothing happened. The inspection was not clean. Surveyors cited a buildup of dark debris on the kitchen floor and around the legs of the stove, deep fryer and steam table, with the dietary manager saying staff had been working on it but nothing seemed to work - a finding that overlaps the pest-control complaint rather than clearing it. Surveyors also cited the center for not meeting the overnight care-staff ratio written into residents' own rental agreements: with 111 residents, three staff were scheduled for the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift where the contract called for 4.44, and the DON said they never had more than three. Both the DON and the executive director said they did not know the ratio was in the lease. The center's first plan of correction was rejected by the state and had to be amended, and the staffing citation was resolved by striking the ratio out of the lease agreements and sending residents a memo saying assisted living has no required staffing ratio - not by adding overnight staff. The state cleared both deficiencies on July 3, 2025 through a paper review, without returning to the building.

  • One complaint investigated in May 2025 raised four allegations - medication administration and controlled-drug counts, whether assessments were completed by qualified staff, whether residents were treated with respect and dignity and grievances addressed, and whether medical records were falsified. Inspectors toured the building, observed residents and staff, reviewed health records, incidents, grievances and police reports, and no deficiency was cited on the State Form relating to any of those four allegations. 05-13-2025
  • A second complaint alleged the center did not assess, monitor and intervene in a timely manner for a change in condition, and that medications were not given according to physicians' orders. After observing residents and staff and reviewing records, no deficiency was cited on either point. 05-13-2025
  • A complaint that residents with wounds were not receiving care and treatment was investigated, with residents observed for quality of care and health records reviewed, and no wound-care deficiency was cited. 05-13-2025
  • Surveyors reviewed the center's health records, facility-reported incidents, grievance files, and police reports as part of these investigations. 05-13-2025
Show all 6 findings
  • The center brought in a professional cleaning company for the kitchen floors within eleven days of the citation and committed to a bi-weekly deep-cleaning schedule with a dietary-director sign-off log. 05-13-2025
  • An offsite paper review by the state on July 3, 2025 confirmed the deficiencies cited in the May inspection had been corrected effective June 27, 2025. 05-13-2025

What the state also noted

  • The bi-weekly kitchen deep-cleaning schedule was not due to begin until 6/13/2025, and the deep-cleaning log submitted with the plan of correction is a blank, unsigned template.
  • Kitchen sanitation, cited at a level affecting one or a few residents: kitchen tour on 05/09/25 found a buildup of dark colored debris on the floor, in the corners and around the legs of the stove, deep fryer and steam table. The center's own policy required the kitchen floor be cleaned daily; the dietary manager said staff 'have been working on them but nothing seems to work on the areas with the concrete floor.'
  • The May 2025 survey cited two deficiencies; it was not a clean survey.
  • Two of the four complaints (OK00081526 and OK00081977) alleged the center failed to maintain an effective pest control program. The only environmental citation issued was the kitchen sanitation finding above, so those allegations cannot fairly be described as cleared.
  • The staffing rule, cited at a level affecting a pattern of several residents: the center was not meeting the on-site care staff ratio written into residents' rental agreements. With 111 residents, the schedule showed 3 staff on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift where the contract ratio called for 4.44, and the DON stated they never had more than three staff on that shift. Both the DON and executive director said they were unaware the ratio was in the lease.
  • The center's correction for the staffing citation was to strike the ratio language out of the lease agreements and send residents a memo stating assisted living has no required staffing ratio - not to increase overnight staffing.
  • The center's first plan of correction was rejected by OSDH as unacceptable and had to be amended before it was accepted.
  • The four investigative reports state which areas were observed and reviewed but contain no explicit compliance or 'unsubstantiated' determination for any allegation. The conclusion that the complaints produced no citation is inferred from the State Form containing only the kitchen sanitation and staffing citations.
  • The July 3, 2025 clearance was an offsite/paper revisit. No inspector returned to the building to confirm the kitchen was clean or that staffing had changed.

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.

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.
