Southern Hills Rehabilitation Center sits in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in a neighborhood close to pharmacies, clinics, parks, and places of worship, and the location makes it easier for folks to run errands, go to appointments, or visit family and friends. The center is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means people can get assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing care all in one place, and you'll often see residents involved in their own activities and daily programs that help keep them engaged and social. They've got certified beds-41 out of 106 were open in June 2025-and the usual census is about 64 residents, with both private suites and shared rooms, all furnished and offering private bathrooms, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable TV, and you'll see amenities like walking paths, gardens, arts rooms, a library, and a fitness space.
For care, they've got a team made up of certified nurses, licensed medical practitioners, nursing assistants, and physical therapists, so you get help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medicine management, and there's always supervision because staff are on site around the clock with a 24-hour call system. They're able to look after folks who need short-term rehab between the hospital and home, help people with memory loss in a secure area, and provide care to frail residents who need lots of hands-on help day and night. You'll find the dining is taken care of, with restaurant-style meals, diets for diabetes or allergies, and the option for all-day dining, plus housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, so you don't end up worrying about chores.
They accept Medicare and Medicaid, which helps some folks pay, and help arrange trips to doctor's appointments when needed. There's a business room, community theater for movie nights or music, activity rooms for crafts or games, and they've got programs run by residents themselves. Southern Hills is managed by Selectis Management LLC since December 2020, overseen by Corporate Operations Director Jeanette Ross and administrator Christy Aubrey, and is affiliated with Global Healthcare REIT.
The environment feels friendly and the staff seem dedicated, but there have been some inspection reports showing deficiencies, including issues with resident rights, nutrition standards, food handling, and infection control, and there's been a nurse turnover rate of about 76%, with nurse staffing hours per resident at 3.79. Still, people say it's a place focused on dignity and self-respect, with family included in care decisions, secure areas for memory care, and a whole range of therapy options like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, so residents can work on recovery or keep as independent as possible, all while being in a place that tries to look after both medical needs and comfort.
