The health department has also refused to renew the license for the home, Oak Hills Living Center. The 106-bed nursing home at Jones, northeast of Oklahoma City, has allegedly been cited numerous times by regulators for poor care.
In a letter delivered Friday to the home, the health department stated it has denied the home's Aug. 10 request to renew its license. The letter states that Jiles purchased the nursing home July 10, 1996, in the name of Wishbone Investments Inc. On Aug. 13, 1996, Jiles' daughter, Deanna Beavers, applied for a license for the home. The application stated that Beavers was president and owner of Wishbone Investments Inc. and Oak Hills Living Center Inc.
The letter states that Beavers did not disclose her father's role in the home during annual applications to renew the licenses from 1997 thrugh 2004
Jiles pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to launder bribery funds paid to former Deputy Commissioner of Health Brent VanMeter. VanMeter was allegedly paid $18,800 to funnel nursing home patients to homes controlled by Jiles.
Jiles was sentenced to five years and three months in prison and ordered to forfeit $4,046. VanMeter is serving a two-year prison sentence because of his involvement with Jiles.
Although Jiles has been in prison for the past year, a health department official said Jiles likely continued controlling operations at nursing homes.
