Bradbury Commons is administered by Adam Young.
Two inspection records, one home. Oklahoma inspects it under state rules; CMS inspects its nursing-home beds under federal rules.
Inspection History and the Inspection Scorecard below are the state record. CMS Health Inspection History, further down, is the federal record. Each counts its own visits and findings over its own dates, so the totals are not meant to match, and nothing is counted twice.
