Legend at Tulsa Hills is a large senior living community in Tulsa, OK, and part of the Legend Senior Living company, and the people there offer independent living, assisted living, personal care, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, and continuing care options, so older adults can get help as their needs change over time on the same campus, which helps families stay together and means fewer moves as people age. Residents pick from one- or two-bedroom apartments, some with private patios, and each comes with a kitchenette, private bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, climate controls, and options for furnished units, so there's privacy and comfort no matter what type of care's needed. The building stands out for its natural light, low-pile carpeting, and soothing color scheme, which help make it easier for seniors to get around safely, and there's an emergency call system with water-resistant pendants and 24-hour on-site staff if assistance's needed day or night.
People who want to stay active will find a full calendar of group games, arts and crafts, musical events, fitness classes, gardening, and spiritual gatherings, with a Common Room featuring a fireplace, a game room with dominoes and cards, a library, a movie theater with plush recliners and popcorn machine, a self-serve bistro stocked with coffee and pastries, activity and craft rooms, and a bright dining room for social meals and themed dinner events, which lots of people say makes life feel busy, engaging, and social. Outside, there's safe walking paths, gardens, a courtyard with a water fountain and comfy seating, patios with rocking chairs, and a spa area for massages or relaxation, so residents can enjoy fresh air, nature, and time with friends, which can be especially helpful for mental and emotional well-being. Residents have access to a well-stocked library, computer center, barber and beauty salon, a wellness center, and transportation for errands, doctor visits, or outings, which adds peace of mind and convenience to everyday living.
For those who need some help, associates provide assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, transfers, medication management, and other daily needs, and individualized support follows each person's care plan, so privacy and independence are respected as long as possible. In memory care, trained associates use routines and activities that can help lower anxiety and encourage connection, with specialty therapies like PARO FDA-approved robotic seals, reminiscence therapy, snoezelen sensory programs, light therapy, and personal life story books given to residents to help maintain identity. The memory care area is safe and filled with sunlight, with secure courtyards and home-like touches such as familiar books, patterned couches, and music, which helps those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease feel calmer and less confused.
The staff at Legend at Tulsa Hills have training in dementia care, relationship building, and personal communication, and care extends to end-of-life support with hospice services if needed, as well as short-term respite stays so caregivers can get a break. Meals are served with the Gold Leaf dining experience, where restaurant-style menus offer fresh, seasonal dishes, and special diets like diabetes or allergy needs get attention, and the dining room's set up for comfort, warm lighting, and good conversation. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and mailroom services round out the support offered, and the community's pet friendly, which lots of seniors appreciate.
The community has earned local awards and positive reviews about its clean environment, friendly staff, and quality food. It's close to parks, grocery stores, the Beatty John Saint John Clinic, and pharmacies, which makes trips out easier, and families feel reassured knowing loved ones are nearby good medical care. Legend at Tulsa Hills welcomes adults over 55 looking for social opportunities, assistance as needed, and a safe, neighborly setting to call home for years to come.
