The nursing home has also appealed the health department's refusal to renew the license for the home, Oak Hills Living Center. The nursing home, located northeast of Oklahoma City, has allegedly been cited numerous times for poor care.
The health department stated it had denied the home's Aug. 10 request to renew its license in a letter delivered last week to the home. The letter also stated that Jiles purchased the nursing home July 10, 1996, in the name of Wishbone Investments Inc., but in August 1996, Jiles' daughter, Deanna Beavers, applied for a license for the home, saying that she 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 through 2004
Jiles is currently serving time in prison after pleading 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.
