Saint Simeon's Senior Community

What Saint Simeon's Senior Community does

Saint Simeon's Senior Community is a nonprofit, faith-based Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) operating on a 50-acre campus in the Osage Hills of Tulsa, Oklahoma, founded in 1960 as a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma. The community delivers a full continuum of senior care under one roof, including Catered Living (independent senior apartments starting at $3,000/month), the Dotson Family Assisted Living Center (60 apartments with four levels of care, base rates $5,660-$9,223/month plus $998-$2,794/month level-of-care add-ons), a 27,000 sq ft secured Memory Care Center ($315-$435/day), Long-Term Care ($303-$418/day), a specialized Parkinson's Care Program built around purpose-built equipment (Core Stix, SCIFIT recumbent bikes, Glide Track unweighting system, WaterFit Trampoline) and a warm saline therapy pool, and the 2022-launched Saint Simeon's Medical Resort for short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation with a Bridge to Home transition program. Unlike most CCRCs, Saint Simeon's charges no buy-in or entrance fee, operating on a month-to-month rental commitment.

The business model blends seven distinct revenue streams: private monthly residential fees across all care levels, long-term care insurance reimbursement, Medicare and commercial insurance for skilled nursing and rehab stays (Community Care, BCBS, VA/CCN, UHC), a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs contract for eligible veterans, contracted hospice services (Seasons, Miller, Compassus), and donations and foundation support through the Saint Simeon's Foundation and the annual Western Days fundraiser that draws 700+ attendees to the Arvest Convention Center. Pricing is transparent and published on the website, with no hidden fees for medication management, incontinence care, or housekeeping at the assisted living level. The GTM motion is sales-led via a dedicated admissions team, supported by a multi-channel marketing presence (website, blog, social media on Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/Instagram, bi-monthly The Quill newsletter, community events, and the Saint Simeon's Guild young-professional group) and a healthcare-referral network spanning physicians, hospital discharge planners, case managers, Life Senior Services, the Alzheimer's Association, and VA social workers.

Saint Simeon's holds distinctive certifications and designations that anchor its competitive position: it is the only community in Tulsa with secure memory care at both assisted living and long-term care levels, the only assisted living community in Oklahoma offering specialized Parkinson's care, and a 2026 Parkinson's Foundation Community Partner in Parkinson's Care with endorsements from APDA Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Parkinson's Alliance. Notable organizational metrics include 100% of staff trained in dementia care, 24-year tenure for the Director of Nursing, and a 65-year operating history with two major capital campaigns completed debt-free ($5M in 1994, $23.3M in 2009). The community is governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees including the Bishop of Oklahoma and does not have private equity or venture capital investors.

• Covenant Living Communities and Services: National faith-based nonprofit CCRC operator (the CEO previously served in its operations). Comparable as a multi-site faith-based senior living organization with similar continuum-of-care offerings, though at greater geographic scale.
• Pacific Retirement Services: Faith-affiliated nonprofit senior living operator with CCRCs and life plan communities across multiple states (CEO prior affiliation). Comparable continuum-of-care service model and nonprofit mission orientation, at greater scale.
• Franciscan Communities: Multi-site faith-based senior living organization offering independent, assisted, memory, and skilled nursing care (CEO prior affiliation). Comparable faith-based CCRC operating model, though at a regional rather than single-site scale.
• Ascension Living: National faith-based nonprofit senior living operator providing independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Comparable mission-driven, faith-affiliated CCRC model with broader geographic footprint.

Direct peers

• Baptist Village of Oklahoma: Faith-based nonprofit senior living community in Oklahoma with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Comparable as a regional mission-driven CCRC competing in the same Tulsa/Oklahoma market.
• Inverness Village (Oklahoma Methodist Manor): Faith-based, nonprofit CCRC located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, offering a similar continuum of independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Comparable on geography, nonprofit model, and continuum-of-care service mix.

Emerging players

Comparable nonprofit, mission-based CCRC model; included as a regional faith-based peer rather than direct Tulsa competitor.

Regional players

• Life Senior Services: Tulsa-area nonprofit that provides senior services and referral partnerships (Saint Simeon's references them as a referral source). Comparable in mission and Tulsa footprint, though operating more as a coordinating/advisory entity than a residential community operator.
