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.

What state inspectors found

4 inspections in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 3 with findings

Legend at Rivendell has had four OSDH surveys in the past two years, and three of them resulted in citations. Only one - an April 2025 complaint visit - closed with no deficiencies cited; on that visit the inspector found the building clean and odor-free, residents well groomed and in clean clothing, and described all staff-resident interactions as positive. Entrance tours in March 2025 and a January 2026 investigation were also favorable on the everyday basics: adequate staffing on the memory care units, no odors or hazards, well-groomed residents, and meals that surveyors sampled and found palatable, nutritious and served at the right temperature. Two of the three March 2025 complaints closed without a related citation. But the record is not clean. The most recent survey, February 2026, cited the center for failing to keep a resident free from abuse: an incident report described video of an aide pulling a memory care resident backwards across the floor by the forearms, about 8 feet, into their room. The facility did not catch this itself - a camera monitoring service paid for by the resident's family reported it a week after it happened, and the aide had not filed the required incident report. In January 2026, seven complaints were investigated together and produced two citations: a medication given without a physician's order, and a failure to report an alleged neglect incident to the Oklahoma Nurse Aide Registry - the underlying incident being an aide leaving a resident documented as blind unattended in the bathroom and then leaving the facility without finishing that resident's care. The March 2025 relicensure survey cited four separate tags, including a medication withheld against physician orders, missed hand hygiene during a medication pass, an abuse incident not reported to law enforcement or DHS, and medications left unsecured. The center filed correction plans in each case and the state found substantial compliance on follow-up, though every one of those follow-ups was an offsite paper review rather than a return inspection. Families should ask the administrator directly about the February 2026 abuse finding, what changed in fall-response and incident-reporting practice, and how the center identifies problems without a family's private camera.

  • During an April 2025 complaint visit, the inspector found the building clean and free of odors, and noted that residents were well groomed and in clean clothing. No deficiencies were cited from that visit. 04-14-2025
  • In that same April 2025 visit, the inspector watched staff and residents together and described every interaction as positive, and concluded the center had acted appropriately on the concern that prompted the visit. 04-14-2025
  • During the March 2025 licensure survey, the surveyor's entrance tour found enough staff working on every memory care unit, no odors or hazards, and residents who were well groomed and showed no signs of distress. 03-12-2025
  • A March 2025 complaint alleging the center did not supervise residents well enough to prevent resident-to-resident altercations produced no citation. The surveyor reviewed the staffing schedule for the date in question and found staffing had been adequate, that interventions were put in place afterward, and that no other incidents had been reported. 03-12-2025
Show all 8 findings
  • Another March 2025 abuse complaint was reviewed and the surveyor concluded the event was isolated and that the center had followed its own policies. 03-12-2025
  • During the January 2026 investigation, surveyors sampled two of the meals that were also served to residents and found the food at an appropriate temperature, palatable and nutritious. The same report states residents were well-groomed. 01-08-2026
  • The January 2026 citations were reported corrected: an offsite paper revisit on 02/09/26, based on documents the center submitted rather than a return visit, found the facility in substantial compliance. 01-08-2026
  • The February 2026 abuse citation was likewise reported corrected effective March 6, 2026, and an offsite paper revisit on 04/21/26 - again a document review rather than a return visit - found the facility in substantial compliance. 02-13-2026

What the state also noted

  • Deficiencies were cited in 3 of the 4 surveys reviewed (02-13-2026, 01-08-2026, and 03-12-2025); only the 04-14-2025 complaint visit was deficiency-free.
  • The most recent survey (02-13-2026) cited the resident rights rule covering freedom from abuse, based on an incident report describing video of a CNA pulling a memory care resident about 8 feet across the floor by the forearms. The center terminated that aide and re-educated staff on fall response and gait belt use.
  • The February 2026 incident was not self-identified by the facility. Per the surveyor's interview with the administrator, a third-party camera monitoring company paid for by the resident's family called on 02/11/26 about a 02/04/26 incident. The center's own correction plan states the aide was terminated in part for 'failure to fill out incident report on 2/4/2026.'
  • The 01-08-2026 survey cited two tags: a medication (Zofran) administered without a physician's order, and failure to report an alleged neglect incident to the Oklahoma Nurse Aide Registry. The underlying neglect report, dated 05/20/25, showed a CNA left a resident documented as blind unattended in the bathroom during care and left the facility without completing that resident's care.
  • The 03-12-2025 relicensure survey cited four tags: a blood-pressure medication withheld with no order to hold it, plus repeated missed hand hygiene during a medication pass; failure to report an abuse incident (a CMA who 'swatted resident's hand away while raising voice,' with the resident 'crying in pain') to law enforcement or DHS; medication administration documented as given when it was not; and medications left unsecured on top of a cart and in an open, unattended medication room.
  • All three follow-ups that found 'substantial compliance' (05/05/25, 02/09/26, 04/21/26) were offsite/paper revisits based on documents the facility submitted. No surveyor returned to the building to verify the corrections in person.
  • The count of substantiated complaints is an estimate. OSDH does not state which of the seven January 2026 complaints produced the two citations, so the substantiated figure attributes both to that batch alongside the clearly substantiated March 2025 complaint (OK00078147, failure to notify law enforcement/APS) and the February 2026 complaint.
  • The favorable January 2026 observations come from seven near-identical investigative reports generated by a single two-day visit (01/07-01/08/26), not from seven independent inspections. Much of that shared language describes what surveyors set out to observe rather than what they concluded. Only 'Residents were well-groomed' and the meal-sampling sentences are stated as findings.
  • All surveyor observations of good care are point-in-time snapshots from specific inspection days and do not describe continuous conditions.

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