Care levels, room types and features at Legend At Rivendell. Not sure which of these your loved one actually needs? That’s where I can help — most families are guessing at this part, and guessing wrong is expensive.
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.
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.

Every inspection Oklahoma has on record for this community. The rating is based on the last 2 years, so a community is not scored on something it corrected long ago — but the older record is here to read either way.

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.
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.
Oklahoma Senior Placement can get you current availability, the real monthly price, and a tour at Legend At Rivendell — at no cost to your family.
