What it’s like

Sand Plum is an independent and assisted senior living center in a beautiful wooded setting in Bixby, and has served the community continuously for about 20 years. The community is dedicated to providing personalized care, with 24/7 in-house medical staff and an emphasis on keeping residents active and engaged through an active social calendar of crafts, games, bus outings, and walking areas.

Daily life is supported by three nutritional meals a day with individualized attention to dietary needs, on-site medication assistance and review, regular housekeeping and laundry, and safe transportation to appointments. One monthly check covers a one- or two-bedroom suite with a patio, a kitchenette in each apartment, weekly maid service, three meals a day, and 24-hour staffing. Community amenities include a game room, library, and fitness room, and the wooded grounds offer walking areas that encourage regular exercise.

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

2 inspections in the last two years · 2 with no deficiencies cited

Sand Plum Assisted Living Community came through both of its inspections in the last two years with no deficiencies cited. The October 2025 visit was especially thorough — a full relicensure survey combined with five complaint investigations covering abuse, staffing, call light response, pest control, air conditioning, and billing — and inspectors spent four days on site interviewing nine residents and six staff, counting caregivers on duty against the state requirement, and reviewing records, and still found nothing to cite. A year earlier, two more complaints about abuse and staffing were investigated with the same result. A clean record like this is a genuinely good sign, though it is worth knowing that families did file those complaints, so it is reasonable to ask the community how it handles staffing and call light response.

  • The October 2025 inspection was a full relicensure survey combined with five separate complaint investigations, and the state cited no deficiencies at all. 10-23-2025
  • Serious allegations — that residents were not protected from abuse, that staffing was too thin, that call lights went unanswered, and that billing was falsified — were each investigated on site over four days and none resulted in a citation. 10-23-2025
  • Inspectors physically counted the caregivers on duty and compared it against Oklahoma's required staffing level, reviewed past schedules, and interviewed nine residents and six staff members about whether care needs were being met — and cited nothing. 10-23-2025
  • Complaints about pest control and a broken air conditioner were investigated, including a review of the building's air temperature logs, without a deficiency being cited. 10-23-2025
Show all 6 findings
  • A year earlier, two more complaints — one alleging abuse and one alleging inadequate staffing and slow call light response — were investigated and also closed with no deficiencies cited. 09-25-2024
  • During the 2024 visit, surveyors walked resident rooms and common areas looking at cleanliness and homelike feel, and watched how residents and staff interacted for any sign of fear. 09-25-2024

What the state also noted

  • — The surveys do not use the word 'unsubstantiated'; the conclusion that no allegation was sustained comes from the State Form stating 'No deficiencies were cited' for each survey.
  • — The Summary of Complaint Investigation sections describe what surveyors looked at and asked about rather than reporting specific positive findings, so the observations above are grounded in the review process plus the deficiency-free outcome, not in explicit praise from the surveyor.
  • — Seven complaints were filed against this community across the two-year period, which is a meaningful number even though none resulted in a citation.
  • — The text is OCR of scanned pages and contains typographical noise; complaint numbers and dates were read as printed.

Full inspection history

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.

  • 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.
