Tulsa Jewish Comm Retirement sits at 2025 E 71 St Street in Tulsa and focuses on serving the Jewish community with retirement and health care needs, and you'll find that the place has a good mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even home care, all laid out in apartment-style homes that manage to feel comfortable without being overly fancy. Folks who live here can have one-bedroom apartments at about 800 square feet or two-bedroom apartments around 1100 square feet, and every apartment comes with a living room and a kitchenette, which makes day-to-day life a bit simpler and gives people space to keep things their own way, and they do keep the apartments newly renovated, so things stay in good shape.
The staff offers three levels of assisted living care-Level I, Level II, and Level III-so residents get as much or as little help as they need, from medication reminders and bathing help to weekly housekeeping and laundry services, and there are expanded basic cable and utilities covered, except for phone, so bills stay straightforward, and the nursing staff brings years of experience, doing everything they can to look out for health and well-being, plus the Kaiser Health Care Center provides skilled rehab and compassionate nursing care, and there are specialized services for Alzheimer's and memory care with features like secure environments to prevent wandering and help reduce confusion, which makes a real difference for residents managing different needs.
Meals are served in a communal dining setting, and those who want can join in social activities, weekly events, outings, and field trips that get arranged every so often, and it's not unusual to see folks taking part in yoga, stretching, or learning something new, like picking up bits of a new language or participating in lifelong learning and art programs, and there's always the option to relax or meet up with friends in a shared lounge or outside in the common patio areas, with WiFi everywhere for those who need it, and pets are welcome, which gives comfort to many.
The community is nonprofit, being managed as a charitable organization, complete with an EIN of 731227715, and reports assets of about $24 million, with leadership that includes a President named John Clayman and an Immediate Past President Jon Stopler, and you'll find operations are well organized with careful financial management, but they haven't been making grants, with total giving at $0. The setting itself is a four-story building, part of the larger Zarrow campus, so residents can stay close to friends or get to a doctor or event without much travel, and the campus supports intergenerational programs, cultural outings, and music events, plus there's a Villa community with independent patio homes that are fairly new, comfortable, and a bit more private, with maintenance and housework included, which some people like.
Anyone moving in pays a $1,000 deposit, entrance fees start at $40,000, and there's a $570 per month charge for a second person, but in return, there's a range of care, and if needs change, more services can be added without having to move to another apartment, which takes some stress away, and for residents at any care level, there are regular health, safety, and engagement programs, and a chance to remain part of an active community while still having enough privacy and independence as desired. The facility has a tradition of serving Jewish seniors in Tulsa, though it's open to all faith traditions, and works to foster community, connection, and support for seniors at many stages of aging.
