In the first quarter of 2026, Michael Morton was listed as the owner of Aspen Health and Rehab, data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) shows. This Tulsa County nursing facility has been under Morton’s ownership since Jan. 1, 2005.
The facility operates as a for-profit nursing home.
During this period, Aspen Health and Rehab held an overall CMS rating of 2, which is lower than Oklahoma’s average of 2.7 for nursing homes. CMS evaluates such ratings based on health inspections, staffing, and the quality of care provided to residents.
Data indicate Aspen Health and Rehab served an average of 103.7 residents daily during the first quarter of 2026, with 126 licensed beds. The facility is not hospital-affiliated at this time.
As of Q1 2026, Aspen Health and Rehab had incurred $35,721 in one fine and received one penalty.
Tulsa County, Oklahoma, had a total of 28 for-profit nursing facilities.
U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population is rising as younger groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, residents 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found nearly half of adults in this age bracket—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support. The study also suggests more than a third may eventually require nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
