A life plan community in midtown Tulsa

The best part of the day still starts at seven.

Apartments with city views, a dining room that takes reservations, and assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing one elevator ride away.

Good evening

Retirement, kept on Tulsa time.

Our residents have spent fifty years going out: the symphony at the PAC, a late table on Cherry Street, a jazz set at the Hall of Fame. They didn't want to stop because of a birthday, and they didn't want to move twice if their health changed. So in 1988 a group of midtown families built Osage Terrace: an apartment house that dresses for dinner, with every level of care under the same roof.

Seventy-eight apartments look out over Woodward Park. The Terrace Room seats at six-thirty and eight. And when someone needs more help, the assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing floors are staffed by people who already know their name and their usual.

Sample family reviews

Said over dinner

We gave up the house in Maple Ridge, not the life. Thursday is still date night. We just take the elevator now.
Charles and Ann R.Residents since 2019
Mother went from her apartment to the Garden Level last spring. Same building, same chef, same girls who do her hair on Fridays. She hardly noticed, and that was the point.
Katherine W.Daughter of a resident
I spent forty years in oil and gas reading contracts. Theirs was the only one I didn't have to mark up.
Bill T.Resident since 2021
The night nurse called me at eleven to say Dad had a fever and the doctor was already on the phone. Then she called again at one to say it was down.
Rachel S.Daughter of a resident
I play the Steinway every afternoon at four. Somebody always pulls up a chair.
Dorothy H.Resident since 2017
