OSP RatingOSP GoodHow we rate: the OSP Rating is built from this community’s Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) survey history — weighing how recent, how frequent, and how serious the state’s inspection findings are. (Assisted living has no federal star rating, so we base it on the state’s public survey record.)

Gooda clean, solid state inspection record — better than most Oklahoma communities.

Based on Oklahoma state (OSDH) survey history — 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.
