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.
1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with findings
Primrose Retirement Community of Shawnee had one state inspection in the past two years, conducted over three days in late October 2025. Inspectors cited one issue: the kitchen dishwasher was running below the manufacturer's minimum wash and rinse temperatures needed to properly sanitize dishes (146/176 degrees against a required 150/180), and the dietary staff member on duty did not know what those minimums were and had no manual to consult. The state classified the finding as a pattern with the potential for more than minimal harm, and the kitchen served all 33 residents. It was the only deficiency cited. In the plan of correction the state accepted, the community reported having the machine serviced and committed to retraining kitchen staff, twice-daily temperature checks and QA audits. A paper revisit on December 8, 2025 found the community back in substantial compliance.
Summarized from Oklahoma State Department of Health survey documents. Inspections are a snapshot of specific days and sample a small number of residents.
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 Primrose Retirement Community Of Shawnee — at no cost to your family.
