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

3 inspections in the last two years · 2 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings

Sooner Station's two most recent state inspections, in October 2025 and January 2026, both ended with no deficiencies cited, even though each was prompted by complaints. In January 2026 the surveyor specifically confirmed call lights were within reach and answered on time, watched staff helping residents with daily care, counted medications, and heard from residents and families that care was timely and the building was clean. The May 2025 licensing survey did cite three items — two residents were missing required admission assessments, one resident was missing an annual assessment, and 2024 fire marshal violations had not been documented as cleared. Those were record-keeping and follow-up problems rather than findings of harm to residents, and the state verified in June 2025 that all of them were corrected.

  • The most recent inspection, in January 2026, investigated a complaint containing six separate allegations — about call lights, cleanliness and supplies, infection control, help with daily needs, falls and medications — and ended with no deficiencies cited. 01-21-2026
  • During that January 2026 visit the surveyor personally confirmed call lights were within residents' reach and were answered promptly, and watched staff helping residents with activities of daily living. 01-21-2026
  • Residents themselves told the inspector they got their medicines as ordered and that staff helped them and answered their call lights on time, and families said the rooms and common areas were clean and comfortable. 01-21-2026
  • The January 2026 review also covered the medication room and cart with a full medication count, plus care plans, physician orders, medication records, incident reports, the infection control log, grievances and resident council minutes — with nothing cited. 01-21-2026
Show all 7 findings
  • An October 2025 complaint alleging residents were not protected from abuse was investigated and not sustained; the state found the community in compliance. 10-08-2025
  • When complaints were made about rain leaking into the building in May 2025, inspectors found no airborne mold, found the community was actively working with contractors on repairs, and the affected resident was relocated to another apartment; residents and families interviewed had no complaints about it. 05-07-2025
  • The paperwork problems found in May 2025 were fixed, and the state confirmed in a June 2025 follow-up that the community was back in compliance. 05-07-2025

What the state also noted

  • The May 2025 survey also documented water leaking into the building from rain and industrial fans running in hallways and common areas while repairs were underway; the state found no airborne mold and no deficiency on that issue.
  • No deficiency in the bundle was tied to the complaint allegations themselves, so no complaint in this 24-month window was substantiated; the May 2025 citations came from the licensing portion of that survey.
  • The fire safety citation was rated widespread, meaning it had the potential to affect all residents. Documents in the file show the fire marshal cleared the remaining items on 12/30/2024, before the survey, but the community could not produce a cleared report at the time of the inspection.
  • The 05-07-2025 relicensure and complaint survey cited three deficiencies: an admission assessment not on the department's designated form for 2 of 11 sampled residents; no annual comprehensive assessment for 1 of 11 sampled residents; and 2024 fire marshal violations not shown as corrected, a finding the state rated as widespread — reaching across the community.

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.

Call me before you contact a single community.One conversation usually saves a family weeks, and costs you nothing — here’s why, and how I get paid.
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.
