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

State inspectors visited The Courtyards at The Ambassador twice in the last two years and cited no deficiencies either time, including at the full October 2025 relicensure inspection. Both visits were triggered by serious complaints — allegations of staff abuse, retaliation against staff who report abuse, and not supervising residents closely enough to prevent someone from wandering off — and the state did not sustain any of them. During the October 2025 visit the surveyor saw staff helping residents with meals and daily care, saw no visible bruises or injuries on residents, and residents said staff were pleasant and helped them when needed.

  • Both state visits in this two-year window ended with no deficiencies cited — including the full October 2025 relicensure inspection. 10-20-2025
  • The surveyor watched staff and residents together throughout the visit and saw staff helping residents with meals and with everyday personal care. 10-20-2025
  • Residents were looked over for signs of rough handling and none had visible bruises or injuries. 10-20-2025
  • Residents themselves told the surveyor that staff were pleasant and helped them when they needed it, and said they had not been abused. 10-20-2025
Show all 7 findings
  • The state reviewed the center's policies, resident assessments, care plans, incident reports, staff in-service training, employee files and grievance records, and cited nothing. 10-20-2025
  • An earlier complaint alleged the center did not supervise residents well enough to prevent someone wandering off. Surveyors observed supervision across three separate visit days and reviewed clinical charts, incident reports and prior state investigations, and cited no deficiencies. 02-10-2025
  • A companion February 2025 complaint alleged physical, verbal or psychosocial abuse. Surveyors specifically looked for bruising, fear of staff and lack of eye contact, and reviewed clinical records, incident reports and hospital records. Nothing was cited. 02-10-2025

What the state also noted

  • Both survey files are short (four pages each), so there is less detail here than at some other facilities. The positives above come from the surveyors' written investigation summaries.
  • Serious allegations were made in both periods — abuse by staff, retaliation against staff who reported abuse, and inadequate supervision to prevent elopement. The state investigated and cited nothing, but that means it did not find enough evidence to sustain the allegations, not that nothing occurred.
  • The census at these visits was around 28-30 residents in a 75-bed building, and the samples reviewed were three and eight residents.

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

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.
