ROWE RESIDENCE TULSA CIRCLE

I've never been so compelled to say something nice about a place! If you are looking for a place to lovingly place your mother, father, cherished elder, Rowe Residence is thee place they need to be. We needed to find a place for my momma in March 2024 and Rowe Residence had a room open up so we grabbed it, having heard a few good things about them. We met the owners Tina and Toni on the day we brought momma in. They couldn't have been any more welcoming and helpful. We sat and filled out paperwork where they explained everything perfectly. Although I should probably back up - when we very first walked in, the first thing we noticed were the 5 very happy and calm residents sitting in their recliners, fully dressed and clean (if you know how important and wonderful this is, you know), either watching tv, reading, napping or chatting. The home is beautiful. It's not large, it's perfect. There are 6 small recliners, one for each resident (how wonderful is that?) in a small living room, which connects to a dining room with a large dining table. The residence is immaculate, and it smells incredibly clean and fresh (again, if you know how important this is, you will truly appreciate this). The backyard is so adorable with a bright patio rug, large patio table, manicured flowerbeds, and a nice "lawn" (it's faux, and it's perfect). Mom needed toileting/personal hygiene help, was ambulatory with a walker but always needed an assist, and had Alzheimer's - not a runner or escape artist, but definitely displaying some sundowning and mild agitation in the evenings. We were hesitant, but oh my God, the entire staff knew exactly how to take care of her, and what was best. I think having owner Tina Rowe as an R.N. serves as one of the biggest benefits of Rowe Residence. The day we arrived she looked at all mom's meds and felt some of them could have been lowered - so, in conjunction with mom's doctor she got some med dosages changed or omitted. And then, as time went on and they got to know mom and "figured her out," they would work with the doctor and increase or change meds as needed. We were kept in the loop at all times. Tina and Toni told us all the time that they wanted us to be able to be the family and just come "be" with mom, spend all the time we wanted to with her, and not worry about the care-taking. It was an incredible relief knowing she was so very well taken care of. Visits were absolutely wonderful! That leads me to the staff: I cannot sing their praises loud enough! The staff at Rowe Residence truly LOVE their residents, their "family." They talk to them, treat them, with such respect, as if each one of the residents is 100% absolutely in charge of their own life and making their own decisions. I loved seeing the interactions. All holidays and birthdays are celebrated and the place is always beautifully decorated with a theme. The food is home-cooked and always looks and smells absolutely wonderful! I truly fell in love with the staff, the residents, Tina and Toni, and the home. I miss visiting and sitting with my momma on the comfortable patio; we lost my mom in January 2025 - and Tina and Toni were right there with us through the process, all of the staff were. While I am heartbroken my mom is gone, I am so very thankful her room opened up to allow another beautiful senior to live their life with love, respect, dignity, and family, at the Rowe Residence. Thank you again Rowe Residence, you made all the difference in all of our lives.
