I was with Tanya yesterday at Prairie Rose independent living, and she was very, very nice, and very helpful. I'm limited in how far I can walk so she put me in a wheelchair and took me all over. They have extensive facilities and anything that you could want. They also have a very nice dining room, a home health care place, and a physical therapy place. She was very, very kind, very nice, and I had a nice time visiting with her. The apartment was just what you would typically find in other places but it was very clean and it had a nice little balcony. To me, that was a plus.
They had a variety of rooms to offer but right now, they only have 3 openings opened. They're all just like the one I saw yesterday, the 1-bedroom. They have a larger 1-bedroom and then a studio, but they don't have anything available right now.
It was very, very quiet yesterday. There wasn't anybody doing anything. They had just finished lunch, and I think people were probably in their rooms recuperating from lunch. I saw some people, but not a lot, and they didn't have any scheduled activities at that time. She just showed me some ladies that play cards and they had a nice area that had a lot of books. If you wanted to read, you could go do that. They had a big, beautiful area down the middle of the lobby that had performers that come in and sing and entertain people. She told me all the amazing things that they did every single month.

I will be moving into Prairie Rose. It's just the most wonderful feeling when you walk in the front door, and all the people are just so friendly, helpful, and happy to see you. It's a lovely place. I even spoke to one of the ladies who lived there, and she said, "We all love it. Don't just take my word, ask anybody."
I had lunch one day, and it was really good. I enjoyed it. No complaints there at all. The one-bedroom, which is what I've rented, is very spacious for a one-bedroom. I really liked it. Even the one I'm getting has a balcony. I am from the South, and so I love southern plantations, and that's what it reminds me of, the exterior.
The dining area was nice. It's so clean, and it has a nice fresh odor when you come in the front door. It's just ideal, I love it. I was there during the lunch hour. I can't say enough about the facility.

Prairie Rose was nice, but it was not suitable for us. The staff seemed friendly. The room was nice. We didn't see many activities. It was just a quick tour. The whole facility and the grounds were well kept. We did not have any meal, but the dining room was well appointed.

I visited Prairie Rose. It was very bright, cheerful, beautiful and clean. They have three meals a day. They have care around the clock. Security is all very important to me and my mother as well. The rooms are very pretty, and it felt very friendly. She liked it. We only met one person, but she was great.

We went to the Prairie Rose. They offered three meals a day. It was nothing more than an apartment house with a few little things in there, like a beauty salon. It wasn't anything special, but for what it was, it was a good place. The rooms were good, they were a good size. The residents were doing pretty well. They were all walking around by themselves. A few people used the walkers and some people had oxygen. That was one reason why my granddaughter didn't think we belonged there. They had organized activities. They had where they took a bus, and you could go on a trip somewhere.

Prairie Rose was nice. It's just that it's more independent living and then you pay for the rest of it. I think the assisted living fits mom better. I like the rooms. There's nothing wrong with the facility. The staff was friendly. It seemed like they knew what they were doing, and they were informative. It had a nice backyard area, and the upkeep was fine. It's easy to get to when there's not a lot of traffic.

I've signed up with Prairie Rose. I was very favorably impressed. They impressed me very much, they were nice, and they talked to me openly and honestly. It's not in the middle of Tulsa, they only had 100 people, and boy are they careful with COVID. Everyone there has been vaccinated -- both doses. It just seemed really great. I have a lease for nine months or something at a special discounted rate. The lady who gave me the tour and all the information was just perfect. The facility looks like a mansion from Gone with the Wind. It's big, it's three stories, but I don't want anything above ground floor, and they answered correctly. The people were lovely. When I got there, they were getting ready to eat, and everybody went to the dining hall for the meals. In this age group and this situation, getting up and going can be daunting, and so I just think they were terrific. The price she quoted was $1885. Then you add the discount for five months to that, and no one came close; everybody wanted a fortune. So, it's great. She showed me the menu, and it was fabulous.

I visited Prairie Rose and it was fine. The staff was really helpful, they showed us around and it was a nice place. Everything was clean. Inside the room, they got a small refrigerator and a microwave. They didn't have bathtubs, they just take showers.

Prairie Rose was first class. The only negative to it, and that's because of my mother's health, is the apartment they showed her. It will be too hard for her to get food and stuff because it's in the end of one of the hallways. They're almost $1000 a month less on the 2-bedrooms than the others I've looked at, so that's the main thing in their favor. I would call it an assisted living more because they provide you meals and housekeeping and trip to the doctors. I don't know if they have a nursing staff on hand, they didn't say anything about that, but I'm also just learning all about these things as we go. They had multi-story apartments. I saw a couple of people walking around, using a walker and some people sitting in the library area, reading a book.
Breakfast is sent into the rooms automatically every morning, unless you don't want it. You can call up and order your meals off the menu and either you come down and pick it up or they'll send it to your room. They don't serve breakfast in the cafeteria, they only do it in the rooms. One thing I don't like about it is breakfast is whatever they feel like fixing. It could be scrambled eggs, quiche, and pancakes, waffles or French toast. I'm one of those people that's not a big breakfast fan. The staff I dealt with was very outgoing and friendly. As for price, they were talking about $2600 for a month for a 2-bedroom for two people, everybody else is $3000 to $4000, so that's a point in their favor by itself.

They're incredibly great at Prairie Rose. I really enjoy them. They're very nice. My father has a really nice one-bedroom apartment with a bathroom and a little kitchenette with no stove. He receives all his meals. They have a library, an internet area, a lot of amenities, and a beautiful dining room. The staff is really wonderful. The home health people are incredibly friendly, engaging, and he receives physical therapy. The facility staff is incredibly kind and nice to me and to him. It's a really nice place. He said he's happy with the food. Their response to the virus was really good. I feel like he is being properly taken care of given the situation. They were the cheapest option that we could find for the level of care that he needed.

My sister liked the Prairie Rose, except she doesn't like it that they have no security at night. They were very well taken care of, there were a lot of staff in the dining room, and the food is really good. She likes that they are very active, they play games, and they are very nice. She likes her room, she likes having a walk-in shower, it's very clean, and she's very comfortable there. It bothers her that there is no security at night. The facility is very old, it only has 2 small elevators, but the activities are good.

I like Prairie Rose. The room I saw was on the first floor, which was nice. I would have preferred that because I had a little dog and I can bring my dog with me. Everybody was nice. They showed me the dining room. The person who showed me around was very nice.

People who lived at Prairie Rose didn't seem too friendly. It had a decent amount of activities but I don't think there were many people who participated in them. The rooms were nice. The dining area was nice and clean. The staff member who gave us the tour was nice and friendly.

My mom is going to be moving into Prairie Rose this week. We were very impressed. It’s clean and quiet. They serve three meals a day and have lots of different activities going on all the time. I know that they have a gym, library, and games. The staff was very nice.

I was very pleased and impressed by Prairie Rose. I thought the community was very nice and clean. The people were very friendly, and the apartments were nice, so I enjoyed the visit. The apartments had more of a dorm-style kitchen with just a toaster, oven, and a microwave. We had a meal there, and the food was very nice. It was a beautiful setting and was close to the river. I thought the grounds were nice.

My visit at Prairie Rose was good. They didn’t have a two-bedroom available, but she did show us some that were nice. They were helpful, answered any questions, and gave us some materials to read at home because we asked for it that way.

We just weren’t all that impressed with Prairie Rose. It didn’t have cottages or covered parking. It was nice, had a pretty nice view and all, but it just wasn’t what we were looking for. We weren’t impressed with the food. We’ve been there twice and ate there once, and we weren’t that impressed with it.
May 22, 2016
I visited this facility
Prairie Rose was fine but needed some upkeep. The staff seemed to pull double-duty, so I guess I was a little concerned about the staff. The dining room was open in a living area, so that was kind of different. The apartment seemed fine and very basic since there wasn’t a full kitchen. Nothing jumped out to me as being outstanding or bad. They need to clean the carpets. That was one of the first things I noticed. The carpets were dirty and had spots all over them right where you walk in. It’s very reasonable price-wise, so I would recommend someone to go look at it.

Prairie Rose is a very nice, open, and airy facility with a great view of the Arkansas River. The facility is easy to access from the main road. Dad likes living there. They have entertainment quite often, bingo, card games, and a lot of other activities.

We placed my dad at Prairie Rose about a month ago. I like it a lot. The food is good. The people are nice. The room is nice and has met all of his needs. It is not as expensive as the assisted living facility, so that also made it attractive. There is a place to do your hair, and they have workout activities, but my dad is not interested in that. They do have activities available that my dad could participate in if he is interested.

The staff is excellent at Prairie Rose. They are probably the best I have ever seen. It is so clean. There is no smell. It is a happy place. There is a lot of light, and it is very open. I like the fact that their managers live on site. They are always accessible.

We looked at Prairie Rose, and it was really nice, but it was not in a good neighborhood. It was closer to some other housing. That would be the only negative I would say about it. There was a park across the street from it which was kind of nice.

We stayed at Prairie Rose some time ago for about three months. We know almost all the people there, and they are very friendly and very helpful. They have one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio apartments. They do not have cottages. The food is excellent. They have just about everything you would need. They have bingo and dominoes. Security seems to be good. They have fulltime managers.

I visited one in Tulsa, but I wasn't really impressed with it. Prairie Rose is really nice, but it is too high. Everything is great just like the other facility. It is just that they charge more. The rooms are really nice. They are large and very clean. They have all kinds of activities like bingo and dancing. It is everything, and it varies day to day so you don't get tired of it. It has a nice and large dining area with the sun shining in. The security is really good. It is like the other one, but the price is too high. They maybe need to change the price by going down a little bit.

My sister has been at Prairie Rose for about four months now. It is a very nice place and the facilities are all really nice, but she is not too happy with the food. It is not that there is anything wrong with it, but she has worked in food service all of her life so she is pretty picky, I guess. All the people that live there are fairly happy with it, she is just not. Her room is like a little apartment with a bedroom, a not really nice bathroom, a living room, and something like a kitchenette. The staff members are accommodating and helpful, they check on her, and they actually go in to do some housekeeping for her. It is a really nice place. They have an exercise room, they take them to Walmart when they want to go, and they do have group things for the residents to do.

My sister is in Prairie Rose, and she's doing just fine. It is a really nice place. The location is great. It is right next to a river. She has an apartment there with a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchenette. She has a door that goes out onto a patio. They have a big dining room. They provide the meals, but she doesn't like the food much. The sanitation is great. They come in and clean, I don't know, once or twice a week, and they do the laundry.

I visit Prairie Rose all the time. My mother-in-law lives there. It's a great community, but I can't afford it. My mother-in-law has a one-bedroom apartment. I guess the staff is very good; I haven't really met any of them, but she loves the place. The amenities and the food are great. The dining area is very nice. The chef always comes out and asks questions -- mostly he asks if the food is good. They need to improve on their speed because they don't get to the residents quickly enough if they need something.

I have no complaints about Prairie Rose other than it's not a good fit. It's way across town from me and I wouldn't be able to get to my dad as often. It's more like a home inside; it has a full kitchen, a living room, bathroom and bedroom. It makes it a more pleasant place to stay.

Prairie Rose is mom's first choice. She loves the staff. They assist her with anything she needs. She loves the people there. She fits in really well in the community. They have activities for her. In fact, it is field-trip day today and they're going out for lunch. She loves her room. She had it decorated just the way she wanted it. She took the things that meant to her the most and they made sure they have rooms for them. She's really happy there. They have a garden and a patio and she loves both of those. She just feels at home in this community.

I have lived at Prairie Rose for nearly 2 years. Love this place and love the dedicated staff. The service is wonderful and the food is excellent. I shopped several retirement facilities in Tulsa and found that Prairie Rose has everything I need. The prices are very affordable. And I appreciate that everyone that works here is so caring.

Prairie Rose has the most wonderful team working there. They get things done when asked, the same day, food service is great. they accomodate things requested and the management team is fantastic. the managers have an open door policy 24/7 if you need them. I recomend you go in and meet the staff at Prairie Rose, you will love what you see.

Do not put your loved ones at Prairie Rose. My mother was there for two years. There is lots promised and very little delivered. They change staff, including "management" and their chefs, often, whick leads to little consistency. But most compelling is that you will likely get attitude from the management staff. They are real quick to tell you when they are not on duty, or don't feel like getting up to go do something. I asked them to check on my mother, because her phone wasnt working. The manager refused and told me I coudl do it myself, by the time I could get there, my mother had died. When I confronted that manager, I was told it was a "training issue!" THAT is the kind of customer service you can expect! It's a training issue simply to go knock on a door? I could go on, because there has been more, but that should give you the general attitude that currently exists there.

My mother lives at Prairie Rose and has for the last two years. Although the decision to move her to a retirement community was not an easy one, none of us could be happier with Prairie Rose. The staff was wonderful at getting her settled in to her new living space and even helped us move her belongings in with her. From day one, they were on call for her every need, providing her with so much more than my wife and I were able to with our jobs and own children to deal with. She loves the freshly cooked meals and has met so many wonderful people who share her interests. She has talked about the many activities she has been able to participate in including bingo, bridge, and most importantly, Bible study. One of the most important aspects for her when we were looking for a community was that she would be able to regularly attend mass and be a part of a community that embraces religion. With regular Bible study, church services, and a shuttle system that allows her to attend a local church on days where the community doesn't provide services, her religious needs have been tremendously accommodated. Overall, I highly recommend Prairie Rose to anyone in the Oklahoma area because of all the services available to the residents and the care and effort the staff puts in to making life easier for our loved ones.
