OSP RatingOSP ExcellentHow 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.)

Excellent — a consistently clean state inspection history — one of the strongest records in Oklahoma.

Based on Oklahoma state (OSDH) survey history — assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.

What state inspectors found

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited

Oklahoma State Department of Health inspectors surveyed Van Buren House Assisted Living on October 22, 2025 and cited no deficiencies. A clean relicensure survey at a community of this size, with 46 residents in the building at the time of the visit, means the state found nothing out of compliance. This is the only inspection in the records for the past two years and the report is brief, so it confirms compliance without describing daily care.

  • The state's license-renewal inspection in October 2025 resulted in no deficiencies being cited. 10-22-2025
  • The Health Department's letter to the administrator confirmed the clean result in writing. 10-22-2025

What the state also noted

  • — Only one survey (10-22-2025) is available for the past 24 months; an earlier survey exists in the facility's three-year history but was not included in the documents reviewed, so its results are unknown.
  • — The two-page report contains no narrative surveyor observations, so no claims can be made about staffing, meals, activities, or the environment.
  • — No complaint investigations appear in the records reviewed.

Call me before you call them. Once you contact the community directly, they treat you as a walk-in — and I usually can't step in as your advocate anymore. Reach me first and you keep someone on your side for the whole search, free. There are a couple of things about this community I'd tell you on the phone that aren't on this page.
