Budget friendly, clean but food needs improvement
The staff is okay, but they have lots of turn over and do not provide the services they say they do or not easily. Housekeeping is little to none. The only communication is when I reach out. The move process was fine. The meal quality is not good. It's the only affordable option I could find in the area, so I guess I might still recommend it for people with limited income.

Tour experience
I toured with Southern Hills Independent Living and found that the facility itself needed a lot of updating. That was the main reason we decided against them for my loved one.

Has a lot of potential, needs some improvement
Room cleaning was listed as part of the regular service but my mom's place has only been vacuumed a few times since moving in 8 months ago. Food was really good the first few weeks and then quality declined quite a bit. Residents regularly complain about the food quality. For a while they were only serving 2 meals on Sundays instead of the 3 contractual meals. But they have returned to 3 meals every day. There was a full activities calendar upon move in with options every day, but the activities coordinator left and they didn't replace her. Now the only activities that happen are ones that residents do on their own. I'm only giving this a 3 because my mom has made a lot of friends and simply having people to eat dinner with has done wonders for her overall mood.

I’ve typed this a few times and keep hitting the character limit before I can tell out story. My mom was isolated alone in an apartment with no car, and 2 cats. I could not realistically work full time and take her to the store, doctors appointments, get cat food, refill her meds etc. At first she was against the idea. She accused me of trying to “put her in a home”. The isolation was havoc on her mental state. After 6 months of work she agreed to see it. Getting her out of the care was another fight. A very long story short. My mom had lived here for 9 months. She has become a different person. [name removed] has friends for the first time in years. We are not fighting over not being able to leave work to take her shopping etc. [name removed] and the staff have been wonderful beyond my ability to express. They have become family. My mom knows she is home and never wants to leave. I can’t thank everyone enough. Can’t recommend them enough!

A nice community for loved ones
When it comes to the cleanliness of the community they try really hard, we like how the gathering area is always very nice and decorated on certain occasions. We do really like the staff members, and the activities are good, but our loved one does wish there was a little more like bingo or karaoke. Based on our experience so far with Southern Hills Independent Living community, we would recommend them to other families.

We chose Southern Hills because they had an opening the day that we went to look and we needed to move fast. Covid is going rampant in the facility right now so my mom is scared to leave her room. She always tells me that she really likes the food that they serve. I would recommend them to others looking.

The parking at Southern Hills in the back is horrific, there are potholes as big as our car. However the staff has been above and beyond our expectations. [name removed] has been amazing. Also I want [name removed] in the kitchen to have recognition. He has been so good and kind.

A very nice place to live.
I am a retired nurse case manager. Part of my job was to place people in appropriate facilities in the community, according to their needs. I am therefore very familiar with retirement centers in Tulsa so absolutely knew where I wanted to move to when the time came for me to do so - Southern Hills Retirement Center. I have been here for six months now and have found it to be every bit as good as I believed it to be. It's a very comfortable place, a homey place, the kind of place you can go to breakfast in your slippers and dressing gown if you wish. It's a small place so you don't get lost in the crowd. The residents are kind and caring - there is a real sense of community here. Likewise, the staff are very supportive of their residents - the facility Director and Activities Director can frequently be found doing evening rounds in the dining room, checking everyone is doing well, to ensure the wellbeing of their "family". They are truly sincere in their caring.

It has been excellent for him
Since I live out of state I have not been able to visit, but all of the feedback I have heard had been positive. Our loved one id doing so much better at Southern Hills then he ever was at home. He has been the happiest he has ever been and he always talks about just how wonderful the staff are to him. He really likes it there, and we are just so grateful to have found this community where he is happy.

This community is good for people who have good health. My loved ones health declined when she got there and now she is under home health. It has been very good I just wish things would have been a little different so she could have taken advantage of certain things.

A Place for Mom has scored Southern Hills Independent Living 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
