How big is Sand Sage of the Highlands compared with other Canadian County assisted living?

Sand Sage of the Highlands holds 79 of the 475 licensed assisted living beds in Canadian County (17%), across 7 open centers there. Metro-wide the 81 centers hold 5,036 beds, and the median center is licensed for 55 beds.

Licensed beds are a ceiling, not a census: OSDH licenses capacity, and a community may run below it. Ask how many residents live there today, how many are in memory care, and how staffing scales when the building is full.

How often does OSDH inspect Sand Sage of the Highlands?

The public file for Sand Sage of the Highlands holds 5 survey documents across 3 calendar years (2023–2025), about 1.7 a year. Oklahoma assisted living centers receive periodic licensing surveys, and OSDH adds complaint investigations whenever someone files a complaint, so a busier file can reflect a larger building or more complaints — the reports themselves say which.

When you read a survey, look for the date, whether it was a licensing survey or a complaint investigation, the rule each finding cites, and the plan of correction. Repeat findings on the same rule across two or more surveys matter more than a single citation.
