Oklahoma survey readiness

What Oklahoma State Department of Health can ask you for, each line cited — and the ones you can't yet produce.

What Oklahoma requires

Assisted Living Center / Continuum of Care — Assisted living / residential care
  • Evacuation capability of the building AND the staffing. Oklahoma requires provisions for evacuation of the building structure and STAFF sufficient to meet the evacuation needs of the residents. The staffing level is part of the evacuation provision, not a separate question — so a change in acuity or in night coverage changes whether the plan still complies. Okla. Admin. Code 310:663-3-3
Oklahoma State Department of Health · checked July 2026We have not confirmed Oklahoma's drill frequency for this license class, so no frequency is stated. Read the fire and disaster drill sections of OAC 310:663 subchapter 3. A secondary source described six bimonthly drills with two at night; that is now known to be the International Fire Code Chapter 4 baseline shared by Illinois, Idaho, Iowa, Maine and New Hampshire, so it is plausible for Oklahoma rather than a copy-paste error — but it still must be read in the primary text before being encoded.

The evidence, and where it comes from

Every item above needs something you can hand over. The fire drill log produces the drill record — we have not published an Oklahoma page, because we have not verified an Oklahoma drill frequency, the emergency plan builder writes the plan itself from the same research, and the compliance calendar puts the life-safety tests on dates. Anything you record against the building shows up on the checklist already ticked.

A self-assessment against published rules, not a compliance determination. CompliMaint issues nothing — Oklahoma State Department of Health and your authority having jurisdiction do. Requirements we could not verify are absent rather than guessed at.
