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 findings

State inspectors visited The Gardens at Rivermont twice in the last two years and cited deficiencies both times, and the citations that matter most are about reporting. In April 2025 a medication aide told surveyors she had witnessed and reported an allegation of abuse involving a resident with frontal lobe dementia; the residence director confirmed receiving that report on 03/07/25 and confirmed that nothing had been filed with the state health department or the Nurse Aide Registry by the time surveyors asked on 04/02/25. The same survey cited the center because its administrator did not hold a current administrator's license, a problem reaching across the community as a whole and the widest scope of any citation in these documents. Two months later, in June 2025, after a resident sustained a hip fracture in a fall on 05/25/25, the center could not show the required incident report had reached the state, and an annual assessment lacked both the required RN or physician signature and the resident or representative's signature. What inspectors saw directly was better — residents dressed and groomed appropriately, staff assisting residents with personal care, no citation on the dignity or daily-care allegations, and no deficiency issued finding that abuse had occurred — and the center corrected each cited item with the state confirming substantial compliance after both surveys, though both follow-ups were paper reviews rather than new on-site inspections. Ask the administrator directly how abuse allegations and injury incidents are reported today, and who verifies it.

  • When the state inspector arrived unannounced in June 2025, the residents she saw were dressed and groomed appropriately. 06-02-2025
  • During that same visit the inspector observed staff and resident interactions and staff assistance with personal care. 06-02-2025
  • A complaint survey (#OK00083004) on 06/02/25 investigated allegations that residents were not treated with dignity and respect and that dependent residents were not given ADL assistance, along with an allegation about fall response. Deficiencies were cited as a result of the survey: two for a comprehensive assessment not signed/coordinated by an RN or physician and lacking a personal interview, and one for failing to submit an incident report to OSDH after a resident sustained a hip fracture. Nothing was cited for dignity or ADL assistance. An offsite paper revisit on 07/11/25 found the facility in substantial compliance. 06-02-2025
  • For the June 2025 visit, the state judged the deficiencies it cited to represent the potential for no more than minimal harm, identified no actual harm arising from them, and did not recommend penalties. 06-02-2025
Show all 7 findings
  • After the June 2025 survey the state verified the cited deficiencies had been corrected and the center was in substantial compliance. 06-02-2025
  • In the April 2025 abuse complaint, inspectors spent two days touring the building, observing residents for abuse and neglect concerns, watching staff interact with residents, and reviewing health records, reported incidents, grievances and police reports. No deficiency was issued finding that abuse had occurred. 04-02-2025
  • After the April 2025 survey the center's corrections were also verified, effective May 13, 2025. 04-02-2025

What the state also noted

  • June 2025 (complaint about a fall): the state cited an annual comprehensive assessment not signed or coordinated by an RN or physician and lacking the resident or representative's signature, and an incident report for a resident who sustained a hip fracture in a fall on 05/25/25 with no fax confirmation it was sent to OSDH.
  • The state's 'no actual harm' language in the June 2025 letter applies to the deficiencies it cited, not to everything that happened at the center. The same survey documents that a resident sustained a hip fracture in a fall.
  • The incident-reporting requirement was cited at BOTH surveys — April 2025 and again in June 2025, roughly two months apart. On the record here it is a repeated failure, not a single lapse.
  • April 2025 (relicensure plus abuse complaint): the state cited the center for not reporting an alleged incident of abuse to OSDH within one business day, not filing a written incident report for it, and not notifying the Nurse Aide Registry. It also cited the administrator for not holding a current administrator's license — a citation the state recorded as widespread, reaching across the community, and the widest scope of any citation in these documents. The state described these as representing the potential for more than minimal harm.
  • The abuse allegation was not anonymous or second-hand: CMA #2 told surveyors on 04/01/25 that they had witnessed an incident involving Resident #6, a resident with frontal lobe dementia, and reported it up the chain. The residence director confirmed on 04/02/25 that the allegation was received on 03/07/25 and that no reports were filed.
  • The center's first plan of correction after the April 2025 survey was found unacceptable by the state and had to be amended before it was accepted.
  • Deficiencies were cited at both surveys in the last 24 months; there were no clean surveys in this period.
  • Both follow-up checks were offsite paper revisits based on submitted documents, not new on-site inspections, and both confirmed 'substantial compliance,' a regulatory term, not a clean bill of health.
  • Surveys sample a small number of residents (3 in June, 11 in April, out of a census of 51) on specific days; they are a snapshot, not a full picture of daily life.

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

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.
