Asher Point Independent Living of Tulsa

Can not say enough good about this home. The staff is absolutely wonderful. They are always available to lend a helping hand in whatever way is needed. They are always there to answer questions or to check on your loved ones if you are not there. The dining staff are so very attentive to whatever some one needs. The cleaning crew are awesome. You can not imagine how nice it is to have meals served and apartment cleaned its great. The lawns are manicured and look awesome. The security is wonderful. I can not say enough good things about living here. Would highly recommend it to everyone.

My loved one is well taken care of. The residents seem happy there. She loves it. She says it's the perfect place for her. She loves the activities, the food, the people. It's been good for her, and it's good to see her smile again. I think its's a wonderful value.

We chose Prairie Rose at The time because they had a more open visitation policy. She picked it too because they had biggest apartments from the ones we saw. It was a great facility it was just not the right fit for us. If you are higher functioning and don't need a lot of assistance I would recommend them.

I would certainly recommend Prairie Rose. I've been in to visit at least a dozen times. They have a very friendly, supportive staff. And they've gone the extra mile with my loved one to help her and accommodate her. The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. My loved one thinks the food is fine sometimes, and other days she doesn't like what they serve. But I imagine trying to serve 120 people of any age and please them all is impossible. The dining is a lot like a college dorm situation where somedays you find things you like and other days you don't. I would assume that is the same as at any retirement community. They have a fair amount of activities, for instance bingo, exercise classes. They've cut back on activities due to corona virus, so they're not doing external outings like they used to. But I think those things are loosening up.

The community is understaffed and does not appreciate their residence. I am not satisfied with this community and I would not recommend it to others.

The staff is personable and they get to know the family also. I would recommend this community to others. The community is open to feedback.

For the first four to six months the meals and dining services were good. Once COVID came they closed down the dining room and you had to stay in your rooms. They had one hot meal and one cold meal item to choose from that was delivered to your room. They had to shut down the activities due to COVID, but beforehand we had about six months of good activities. The room sizes are not designed to live in them 24/7.

Mgmt and residents relations are average. A lot of msgs never get passed along. The food quality is poor. Other than that the overall atmosphere is above average.

I know that this has been especially difficult on your staff is they sometimes have to deal with residents that are more like children than they are adults. I appreciate the gentleness and compassion that you have for them. I pray for you and your family during this time of uncertainty. Please stay safe and well because I couldn't do it without you.

My loved one has been at Prairie Rose for over 7 years. There have been several management changes, but the staff that is there today has improved the facility 100 times over. Keep up the great work.

I have lived at Prairie Rose for 2 years and 8 months. I love my apartment and the people who live here. This year has been difficult, but we have muddled through with our combined strength. I would certainly recommend Prairie Rose Independent Living to anyone.

Management is out of touch with the needs of senior citizens. Their only concern is with how they can cut corners on the services they provide to us so they can give themselves “merit raises” and show a bigger profit. Our “chef” is given a bonus, not based on customer satisfaction, but on how much he can trim his expenses and feed us on less. So we get a lot of processed food. Canned fruit, canned vegetables, processed hamburger patties, meatballs, and meatballs. Actives are poorly planned, poorly executed, and at this time, dwindled down to nearly nonexistent.

Wonderful staff. Great community. Beautiful facility. Peaceful and fun.

This is not an independent living community. There are a lot of residents that have dementia who are not getting any type of care and are trying to get into people's rooms. I have had things stolen from my room. The bus service only works for 2 days a week for doctors' appointments and shopping once a week but with 100 residents it is hard to get on the schedule. Communication with residents is not good. Many other residents need much more care. The food is not very good.

This is not a good fit for a person with higher end care needs. The staff was really good. The food was just okay. The room size and layout of the community was nice. They did not have much outdoor space.

Moved my Mother in middle of February. I love it and she will. She is 97 and is fighting change but she is coming around. Her most stressful time is meal time. She doesn't feel comfortable to sit with anyone and is having trouble making friends. But as I said she will come around. I have been driving 3 hours each month to assist my Mother, so its wonderful to have her here in Tulsa.

BIOS the home health care service that has an office in Prairie Rose brought in a pharmacy yesterday to give flu shots to those who wanted one. Looked like everyone in Prairie Rose got the shot which is good. Don’t need to spread the flu around, seniors have enough problems without the flu. My wife and I went to our family doctor two weeks ago intending to get our flu shot but they were not prepared to start giving the shot. Pharmacy coming to the retirement home is big help and another example of Prairie Rose taking care of the residents.

When considering moving into a retirement home, everyone researches major details like the apartment, environment, sanitation, meals and of course staff but what about everyday requirements that make life easier and more enjoyable? At the Prairie Rose things like the apartment, TV, meals, cleaning and utilities are included in the monthly cost. That is a major selling point of all retirement homes but what about the small things that a person needs? Toothpaste, Kleenex, drinks, snacks, medicine, clothes, banking, new smartphone, etc. etc. Near the Prairie Rose: Supercenter Walmart – 1.5 mile. Online order and pickup or delivery. Shortly after moving into the Prairie Rose, I drove to Walmart, shopped, drove back and then carried my purchases up to the apartment. Believe me, never again – delivery is a bargain. Walgreens – 1.5 mile. They will deliver medicine. Banking – next door. They visit the Prairie Rose at least once a month. Sam’s Club – 1.7 mile. Online order and pickup. Best Buy – 1.7 mile Shopping Mall – 5.2 mile Tulsa Police Branch Office - .5 mile U.S. Post Office – Mail is delivered to the Prairie Rose daily but if you need postal service a branch office is 1.5 mile away

Breakfast is my favorite meal, not necessarily the time but the food. This morning at the Prairie Rose I arrived about twenty minutes before breakfast started. I had a cup of coffee and read the news from my smartphone. Others were reading the local paper, but I like news from different sources, however, that is a different story. At 8:00 am one of the wait staff started coffee refills, followed shortly by the oatmeal cart. This morning I decided to have oatmeal. With your oatmeal you have a choice of raisins, brown sugar, warm milk or all of the above. Regular sugar and other condiments are always on the table. Following the oatmeal cart was another cart with drinks, cold cereal and fruit. I always have a class of milk and either orange or cranberry juice. If I don’t have oatmeal, I will normally have a dish of orange slices. Every morning they will have a featured breakfast item like “Breakfast Casserole, Waffles, Pancakes, Cinnamon rolls and my favorite Biscuit & Sausage Gravy.” I have tried them all and the featured items are excellent. This morning I had: Three eggs over medium, bacon and raisin toast. Did I mention the wait staff is doing coffee refills? If you rather do it yourself, there is always coffee at the coffee bar. I have said it before, if you go away hungry, it is your fault.
