Primarily short stays
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.
Most new residents arrive under private pay (69% of admissions), and a typical private pay stay runs around 18 days.
The Villages at Southern Hills is a nursing home, assisted living, hospice care, and respite care facility at 5721 S Lewis Ave in Tulsa’s South Peoria neighborhood, with 98 certified beds. Lee Sudbeck is the administrator. WellTrack Medical Center is a quarter mile from the building, which matters for a facility with this level of clinical intensity. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, and is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community.
The care model here is built around short stays. The average resident is in and out in 24 days. Services map to that model directly: short-term and outpatient rehabilitation, a rehab-to-home program, 24-hour staffing, respite care, and hospice care. Social and counseling services are part of the offering. Dental services staff and a medical director are on-site. An active Resident Council meets regularly.
Current occupancy sits at 44%, with 43 of 98 beds filled. Total nursing hours are 3 hours and 54 minutes per resident per day, with nurse aides accounting for 2 hours and 6 minutes of that and registered nurses at 19 minutes. The Walk Score is 46; most errands in this part of Tulsa require a car.
State inspections have tended to focus on medication management and environmental and hazardous-materials safety rather than direct resident care concerns.
The Villages at Southern Hills functions primarily as a post-acute, transitional-care destination, with a clinical service mix and hospital proximity that suits short-stay rehabilitation rather than long-term placement.
The Villages at Southern Hills is administered by Lee Sudbeck.
