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

1 inspection in the last two years · 1 with findings

The one state inspection in this period, an unannounced visit on April 22-23, 2025, cited Village at Oakwood for failing to report an allegation of sexual abuse to the health department within the required one business day. A resident reported to administration on January 10, 2025 that another resident had made sexual advances toward them; the executive director investigated internally, and when surveyors asked directly on April 23 whether the allegation had been reported to the state agency, the answer was no - roughly three and a half months had passed, and the failure surfaced because surveyors asked rather than through the facility's own review. The facility's plan of correction states it did not interpret the situation as abuse at the time, and the same document discloses that the two residents later resumed contact, including errands, meals off-site and rides in the other resident's personal vehicle, which the facility says happened without discussion with administration and that it found out after the fact. The state found substantial compliance on an offsite paper revisit dated May 27, 2025, and the facility says it separated the residents at the time of the report, rewrote its reporting policy with explicit one-business-day timelines, trained all staff in May 2025 and committed to monthly incident-report audits for six months. Against that, surveyors used the same visit to investigate three complaints covering abuse, involuntary seclusion, over-sedation, slow help with daily care, medications, bedtimes and meal quality, and after touring the building, observing staff with residents, interviewing residents and staff, and reviewing health records, incident reports, grievances and police reports, none of those care allegations was cited.

Three separate complaints were investigated during the same unannounced visit, covering allegations of sexual and psychological abuse, involuntary seclusion, over-sedation, delayed help with daily care, medication errors, bedtime choice and poor-tasting meals. After on-site observations, interviews and record reviews, none of those care allegations resulted in a citation. 04-23-2025
Inspectors toured the building unannounced, watched staff interacting with residents, and reviewed health records, reported incidents, grievances and police reports as part of the abuse investigation. 04-23-2025
On an offsite paper revisit a month later, the state found the one cited problem corrected and the facility in substantial compliance. 04-23-2025
In its response to the state, the facility said it separated the two residents at the time of the report, rewrote its abuse-reporting policy with clear one-business-day timelines, trained all staff in May 2025, and committed to a monthly audit of every incident report for six months. 04-23-2025

What the state also noted

— The gap was not brief and was not self-detected. The resident reported the advances to administration on 01/10/25; on 04/23/25 at 1:10 p.m. the executive director confirmed to surveyors that the allegations of sexual abuse had not been reported to the state agency. That is roughly three and a half months, and it came to light because a surveyor asked. The plan of correction concedes the facility 'did not interpret the situation as sexual abuse and, therefore, did not submit a report.'
— A deficiency WAS cited at this survey: the facility failed to report an allegation of sexual abuse to the state within one business day, for one of three sampled residents. This is a reporting failure rather than a finding about hands-on care, but it is a real citation, and the state's letter records that the deficiency 'represented the potential for more than minimal harm.'
— The facility's own plan of correction states that Resident #9 later re-established contact with the alleged resident - accepting errands, meals off-site and rides in his personal vehicle - and that this 'was all done without discussion with adminsitation' and the facility 'found out after the fact.' The protective separation described in the plan of correction was therefore not sustained or monitored.
— Some of the reassuring detail (separating the residents, staff training dates, planned audits) comes from the facility's own plan of correction, which is its account rather than a surveyor's observation. The same document argues the facility did not consider the incident abuse at the time.
— The May 27, 2025 revisit was an offsite/paper review, not an on-site re-inspection; no surveyor returned to the building to verify the change in practice.
— The state's reports do not use the words 'substantiated' or 'unsubstantiated' for the three complaints; what is documented is that only the incident-reporting deficiency was cited.
— Only one survey exists in the last 24 months, so there is no earlier or later inspection to compare against.
— The survey documents contain no surveyor observations about meals, activities, call lights or resident appearance.

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.

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.
