The Ambassador Skilled Nursing & Therapy sits in a mixed-use part of Tulsa, close to shops, restaurants, and the Arkansas River, which is nice for families who want to visit or residents who enjoy a little scenery. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, and all rooms are already furnished, which is helpful for those moving in who don't want to bring much. The building has dining rooms, a library, fitness and game rooms, a business center, a spa and wellness room, and easy access to nursing staff since there are centrally located stations. Meals come prepared with special attention given to diets like diabetes or allergies, plus residents can eat in the dining room with others or alone in their rooms, whatever suits them best, and the kitchen staff manages everything from meal planning to special requests, so everyone gets what they need.
Compassion and professional care for each person take priority here, with staff helping with dressing, bathing, moving around, eating, medication management, and other day-to-day needs so residents feel comfortable and supported. There's always someone there, with 24-hour supervision, and nurses do regular medication and health checks. Residents with dementia, or mild cognitive impairment, get special attention, and there's a secured memory loss unit with its own living room and screened porch, a fenced courtyard outside, and a fireplace to sit by, which adds a cozy feeling when the weather's bad. Care includes dementia waivers, long-term services, and support for both physical and mental wellness, as the staff want each resident to stay as active as possible and connected with others, even if someone needs more help.
Therapy is a big focus, too, since many come after hospital stays from things like strokes, surgery, or broken bones, so therapists help residents regain strength and independence with physical, occupational, and speech treatments as needed, trying to help everyone heal up as much as possible. Laundry, linens, daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, even beauty salon and barbershop services by appointment-those are all handled on site, which makes life run smoother for residents.
Activities fill the week, with scheduled events, movie nights, and social gatherings so people can stay busy and connected with others, and there are special programs for mental and emotional health, not just physical. Cable TV and phones are in the rooms, and there are outdoor courtyards and garden rooms when anyone wants sunshine or fresh air. The building itself is safe with emergency alert systems, plus security features in the memory care units.
Financially, The Ambassador Skilled Nursing & Therapy takes Medicaid and Medicare. Residents also gain access to an on-site administrator, Rebecca Murray, who leads the staff and runs the community. Sister facility Ambassador Courtyards nearby offers luxury apartments for those preferring a more independent living experience with features like private bathrooms and kitchenettes, but The Ambassador focuses on providing skilled nursing, memory care, outpatient rehab, and traditional nursing home services for those needing a bit more support each day. The main goal is helping people live with dignity, whether they need a lot of help each day or just a little, while providing a place where families feel their loved ones are well-cared for.
