Message from the Executive Director of the Foundation
Nearly a half century ago, as a small child, I met a towering figure by the name of Father Louis Basso. As Rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, he was a spiritual leader in my hometown of Coffeyville, Kansas. Father Basso provided counsel on more than one occasion, chiding me for running in the Fellowship Hall, and showing me the way toward adulthood.
Now that I’ve returned to the fold of the Episcopal Church as Executive Director of the Saint Simeon’s Foundation, I think of Father Basso often. He was an anchor in a family all too susceptible to choppy waters. From him, I learned about leadership, dignity, and respect for all, particularly those who came before me. I’ve always designated “secret mentors” from afar. A quick scan of names in the columbarium at St. Paul’s today reveals all those who had an impact on my life, including Father Basso.
When I moved to Tulsa after college, my first assignment as a young staff member at the University of Tulsa was to visit Saint Simeon’s to interview one of its residents – Dr. Ben Graf Henneke. Of course, I was first struck by the beauty of the place, as we all are. Then I had the privilege of looking up to another towering figure, who wove tales about his decades-long tenure as TU President, his beloved Vinalhaven Island off the coast of Maine, where he spent summers watching lobster boats come and go, and Ravenna, Italy, whose mosaics inspired Dr. Henneke’s volume of verse widely praised and which remains a popular item on the shelves of the Saint Simeon’s Library.
The greatest joy of my new position at Saint Simeon’s is listening to the stories of our residents, such as Dr. Pia Petculescu, who was born in Romania, completed medical school, and after becoming a U.S. citizen, enjoyed a long career as a physician in Tulsa. She speaks five languages. Or Jean Sinclair, who was a force in Tulsa County politics for several decades and who, as a weekend
archaeologist, uncovered several historic artifacts in the Mooser Creek Basin north of Tulsa. And, finally, Tom Clark, who we lost just before Christmas. Tom was one of Tulsa’s last aviation pioneers, a highly successful businessman and community leader. I worked with Tom for several years at the University of Oklahoma Board of Regents and learned from him, among other things, how to tirelessly fight for support of higher education.
Speaking of towering figures, we bid farewell this year to the Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward J. Konieczny (Bishop Ed) as he retires from the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma. We welcome Angela Green, who began her tenure as President and CEO of the Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community, and Bishop-Elect Poulson Reed, who will be consecrated in April.
As we embark on our 60th anniversary at Saint Simeon’s, I am grateful to have met all of these individuals. Now, as I sit at my desk at the Foundation, it’s time to take a break and walk down the hall. I wonder who’ll I meet today?

THE SEED IS PLANTED
When the Rev. Dr. Edward Eckel arrived in Tulsa in 1929 to serve as the fifth rector of Tulsa’s Trinity Episcopal Church, no one could have guessed the legacy he would leave 60 years later. Dr. Eckel and his wife had been impressed with the “homes for the aged” they’d seen during their travels in England. Tulsa, they believed, could benefit from such a home.
By 1950, Dr. Eckel was working on making this dream a reality. He shared his vision with Roy Hoffman, an Oklahoma City banker and leader in Oklahoma Episcopal affairs. Soon, Mr. Hoffman and his wife began a drive for funds and the Diocese of Oklahoma established a non-profit corporation for the project. Dr. Eckel’s passion for this venture was spreading.
In 1958, the dream moved one step closer to reality. After an extensive search for the right location, a 22.5-acre plot of land on a hill overlooking downtown Tulsa was purchased for $45,000. A few months later, Trinity parishioners donated enough funds to cover the entire cost. In today’s economy, that’s more than $391,000; an impressive amount to be collected from the congregation.
SAINT SIMEON’S IS BORNWith the site secured, construction could begin. Of course, such a huge undertaking didn’t happen overnight. It took two years before the “Saint Simeon’s Home for the Aged” opened its doors. Phase I included 12 resident rooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a dining room. Just four residents— three women and one man—called Saint Simeon’s home those first months. It was a truly “home-like” atmosphere, as reliable help proved hard to retain and the residents found themselves pitching in to help with the cooking and cleaning. Soon, however, a hostess was hired—Mrs. Welch—along with a cook, maid, and yardman. Operations began to run smoothly.
With these new hires came the need for more financial support. The women on the Board came up with a solution, forming the Home’s Auxiliary in February of 1961 to broaden support. By the end of the year, the Auxiliary had grown to more than 300 members and raised $27,000 (more than $230,000 in today’s dollars). These successful efforts emboldened the Board, and they soon moved forward with a five-year plan for the Home. By 1963, the Home hired its first administrator andContinued on next page
1960 was a year of new beginnings. Little Debbie Cream Pies first appeared on grocery store shelves, the Coca-Cola Company introduced a new soda called Sprite, and the Etch-A-Sketch was born, much to the delight of children coast to coast. The Flintstones, the Xerox machine, Zip Codes, the pacemaker, the laser beam, the weather satellite… they all made their debut in 1960.
It was the year Chubby Checker gave us “The Twist,” Alfred Hitchcock gave us Psycho, and Harper Lee gave us To Kill A Mockingbird. It was the year America elected its youngest president (John F. Kennedy) and saw a boxer named Cassius Clay (later to become Muhammed Ali) win his first professional fight.
It was a year like no other. Not because of these momentous firsts … but because of a new beginning much closer to home – just 10 minutes from downtown Tulsa, to be exact.

within two years had adopted plans for 34 additional resident rooms, a larger dining room and kitchen, a laundry, and an arts and crafts room.
THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’As Bob Dylan sang on his classic released in 1964, things were changing. While there was certainly turmoil on the national stage, some good things came out of 1964 as well. Buffalo wings, bubble wrap, and a sporty new car called the Ford Mustang were all introduced in ‘64. Roald Dahl published Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Beatles held the top five positions in the Billboard Top 40.
Closer to home, good things were happening as well. The University of Tulsa’s football team led the nation in scoring and had the Heisman runner up in Quarterback Jerry Rhome. Tulsa’s tourism business saw a boost with the opening of the new, thoroughly modern, Tulsa Convention Center. Just down the road, Saint Simeon’s Home for the Aged adopted a new name and became known, officially, as Saint Simeon’s Episcopal Home. More changes were coming as well.
The British model of a facility for “ambula-tory persons in reasonably good health” that had inspired Dr. Eckels and his wife to create Saint Simeon’s needed to evolve. “We must plan infirmary facilities,” Dr. Eckels wrote to
a friend. “We don’t want to neglect our sick.”In the spring of 1966, yet another of Dr. Eckels’ visions became a reality: a 21-bed infirmary was completed and a registered nurse was hired as medical director. By 1970, 21 of Saint Simeon’s 68 residents were in the infirmary.Saint Simeon’s was growing. The Board had purchased an additional 19 acres adjoining the property to allow for future growth. The Auxiliary had grown so large (more than 400 members) that meetings had to be held
off-campus. The waiting list for the Home exceeded 30 applicants. In fact, interest in the Home was so strong, an additional residential wing—the E-Wing—was completed in 1977.
As the 70’s progressed, it became clear that providing independent, active residential living no longer met the majority of residents’ needs. Infirmary-care tenants made up 50 percent of Saint Simeon’s population and the waiting list showed 90 percent in need of such care. The times they “were a changin’” and Saint Simeon’s was changing with them.
GROWING INTO A NEW ROLEPresident Ronald Reagan may have famously challenged Mr. Gorbachev to “tear down this wall!” in the 80’s, but for Saint Simeon’s the decade revealed quite the opposite: the need to build up. It was during this time that two additional residential wings were added, along with two duplexes and a new medical center/infirmary. Still, the Home was near capacity as the waitlist swelled to more than 100 applicants.
Construction continued, adding Saint Anna’s Chapel and the Common Room. But more room wasn’t all that was required. As the residents’ needs continued to change, the Home kept pace and embraced its new role, filing a Certificate of Need to upgrade Wings F and G to “intermediate medical facility care.” In addition, a formal task force was convened to develop guidelines for future expansion and a strategy on how to strike a balance between retirement-living facilities and higher care levels. This group also began studying the growing need to provide care for senile dementia and Alzheimer’s, both afflictions that were beginning to show themselves in some current residents.
As the 1990’s began, Saint Simeon’s prepared to launch its largest and most challenging expansion to date: the creation of a $5 million
senile dementia and Alzheimer’s facility. By the end of 1991, two-thirds of the funds had been raised (half coming from the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma) and by mid-1992, ground was broken. The facility opened debt-free in 1994 and, due to its advanced design, was toured and studied by medical professionals from across the country. While 1997 may be remembered as the year Steven Spielberg unleashed the first Jurassic Park on movie audiences worldwide, we’ll always remember it as the year a Golden Retriever puppy was unleashed on the residents of Saint Simeon’s—much to their delight. An instant hit, our new mascot Simone brought joy to everyone on campus as a loving companion and therapy dog. But Simone wasn’t the only addition met with smiles that year. Residents and families alike were treated to a new ice cream parlor, adding to the comfortable ambiance that set Saint Simeon’s apart from other area facilities.
NEW MILLENNIUM, NEW OPPORTUNITIESWhile fears of Y2K dominated the headlines entering the new millennium, Saint Simeon’s was preparing for a decade that would see more expansion and facility upgrades than in all the previous 40 years combined.
Expanding beyond the main campus, Saint Simeon’s established an Adult Day Center at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in south Tulsa. The program, which served elderly persons suffering from Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related illnesses, also provided a welcomed relief for family and other caregivers.
Back at Saint Simeon’s, the nearly bare Health Care Center Courtyard was transformed with the addition of a water garden pool, bronze statue, new plantings, and two beautiful peacocks donated for the enjoyment of Saint Simeon’s residents. Other courtyards soon received makeovers as well.
In 2005, residents were treated to even more upgrades. A “Great Room” was added to the Health Care Center, offering a beauty/barber shop and a spa-like bathing area, as well as audio, visual and physical stimulant areas. The end of the decade, however, saw the Home’s most ambitious plans.
In 2009, a $23.3 million campaign to replace three wings with a new Assisted Living Center including 60 new apartments, a state-of-the-art Wellness Center, plus new activity, entertainment, and dining areas, was successfully completed.

Because of the generosity of Saint Simeon’s donors, the Dotson Assisted Living Center could be completed debt-free. The next year, 50 years after the home’s first four residents occupied them, the original A, B, and C wings were razed as part of the project. The last 10 years of the 2000’s have seen dynamic growth. Saint Simeon’s has continued to upgrade and improve, including the renovation of 5,300 square feet of communal living and dining areas in the Health Care Center known as the Bishops’ Plaza. Skilled Nursing covered by Medicare Part A has been added. Most recently, Saint Simeon’s has taken a leading role in Parkinson’s Disease care in Northeast Oklahoma. In 2019, Saint Simeon’s became the first Struthers Parkison’s Care Network – Certified Community in Oklahoma. A grant provided Parkinson’s-specific exercise equipment and, as a Struthers partner, staff
receives specialized Parkinson’s training, undergoes performance audits, and maintains a specific standard of care unmatched in the area.
THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHTToday, we see the fruits of Dr. Eckel’s vision, his tenacity, and his heart for ministry every time we drive through the gates onto the beautiful campus at 3701 North Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Just as important, however, have been the generous gifts of our donors. A non-profit from the start, Saint Simeon’s is built on the belief that we can provide the best care at reasonable costs. Residents’ fees pay operating costs and generous contributions handle everything else. That’s what has made our history so successful… and it’s what we rely on for a bright future. ■

In 1994, Saint Simeon’s opened a state-of-the-art Memory Center for residents with Alzheimer’s and other forms of senile dementia. This unique facility attracted attention nationwide, as medical professionals in the field praised the amount of freedom it gave residents without sacrificing the watchful oversight of qualified staff.
More recently, Saint Simeon’s has made a concerted effort to build on its authority in providing Parkinson’s care. Spearheaded by Parkinson’s Specialist Mary Nole, Saint Simeon’s has become the area’s leading Parkinson’s care facility through a
partnership with the renowned Struthers Parkinson’s Center.
The Struthers Parkinson’s Center, located at Park Nicollet Hospital in Minneapolis, has been recognized as a leader in Parkinson’s care, education and support since the late 1970’s. Struthers is a National Parkinson Foundation Center of Excellence and is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.
The Struthers Parkinson’s Center presented research at the World Parkinson Congress
OKLAHOMA’S FIRST STRUTHERS PARKINSON’S CARE NETWORK – CERTIFIED COMMUNITY
detailing the results of a professional health survey conducted within the center’s five-state service area. The data showed that nearly 60 percent of health professionals had no Parkinson’s-specific training within five years of the survey and did not regularly work with Parkinson’s patients. In that study, 66 percent of participants who responded they felt they did not have sufficient Parkinson’s educational resources and the average confidence rate for working with Parkinson’s patients was only 56 out of 100. As a result, not only were individuals with Parkinson’s having difficulty finding proper care, but providers (and assisted-living facilities) were hesitant to welcome such individuals.
In response to this, the Struthers Parkinson’s Center launched a Care Network in 2012. The Struthers Parkinson’s Care Network helps to bring expertise in Parkinson’s care to independent living, assisted living, and long-term care communities. This unique partnership allows facilities like Saint Simeon’s to gather additional insight into the complexities of Parkinson’s through training and education.
Saint Simeon’s was accepted into the network in 2019—the first in Oklahoma. As a Struthers Parkison’s Care Network – Certified Community, Saint Simeon’s received specialized Parkinson’s training, undergoes site visits and performance audits, and must maintain a specific standard of care for Parkinson’s residents and their families.
“Parkinson’s affects each individual differently, the course of the disease varies from one person to the next, and symptoms come and go erratically,” says Nole. “That’s why specialized treatment, tailored to each resident, is vital. Without a thorough understanding of Parkinson’s disease, staff may associate symptom inconsistencies with being stubborn, and not be able to provide suitable care. Our residents have experienced that at other facilities in the area.”
It’s true, some area facilities claim to provide Parkinson’s care, but a close look shows a vast difference in care levels. As residents can attest, Saint Simeon’s is truly committed to providing a higher quality of life for those in need of specialized Parkinson’s disease care.
“It takes more than talk to provide the care Parkinson’s patients and their families need,” says Nole. “That’s why we go the extra mile, making sure everyone here who works with our residents knows something about Parkinson’s care: from the CEO to the guys on the maintenance team. We have a soft spot in our hearts for Parkinson’s patients, and it shows.”
As a Struthers Parkison’s Care Network – Certified Community, Saint Simeon’s has invested heavily in the latest training and education for Parkinson’s care. Through the partnership, staff receives training each and every month on how to best serve and care for Parkinson’s residents. The nursing staff and therapy team have received Parkinson’s education and training on the disease process, including symptom management and medication regimens, as well as the benefits of therapeutic exercise and its positive effect in potentially slowing down the effects of Par-
kinson’s disease. Several staff members have undergone training in PWR! Moves and Delay the Disease Parkinson’s-specific training programs to maintain or restore skills that may have deteriorated. In addition to ongoing training through Struthers, Saint Simeon’s has many pieces of equipment in its Wellness Center specifically designed for those individuals in need of Parkinson’s disease care. This is especially important as therapeutic exercise is the only thing that has been shown to slow the progression of the disease.
To help promote Parkinson’s care, Saint Simeon’s has recently launched a marketingcampaign featuring Mary and a few family members of Parkinson’s residents. Even CEO Angela Green makes an appearance.
“As the only Struthers Parkinson’s Care Network – Certified Community in Oklahoma, we provide a higher standard of care for our Parkinson’s residents and their families,” Green says. “But don’t take my word for it. Visit SaintSimeons.org/Parkinsons to hear from those who experience it every day.” ■

What are the most important aspects of your job?
To ensure that Saint Simeon’s provides the best care and services to all individuals while promoting dignity and independence and that we operate as an exceptional work environment for employees who are committed to loving and serving the individuals with which we have been entrusted.
What led to you become CEO of Saint Simeon’s?
I love Saint Simeon’s and working with this incredible team as the Administrator, so when the Board approached me to consider serving as CEO, I was honored to assume the role and continue the great work that was already being accomplished.
Why did you select senior living as your life’s work?

LOOKING AHEAD TO 2020SAINT SIMEON’S POISED FOR ‘TREMENDOUS GROWTH’
Angela Green, President and CEO
Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community is poised for “tremendous growth” in 2020 and beyond, according to Angela Green, President and CEO.
For the first time in recent history, Saint Simeon’s enjoys full occupancy and a balanced budget, two key conditions for solid institutional health and opportunities for growth, Green says.
“In the last two years, we have pursued major initiatives to increase our census and balance the budget – two key ingredients for overall success,” she says.
The daily census at St. Simeon’s hovers near 95 percent and short waiting lists exist for some residency options, she said.
“We significantly expanded our skilled nursing program, increasing our services to 20-25 patients per day, up from just five a few years ago, while adding staff and enhancing training,” Green says. “Many of those patients select to move into assisted living after completing their rehabilitation on our campus, which helps to support our census.”
In addition, Saint Simeon’s improved its admissions and community relations programs to increase awareness of the senior living community and better serve prospective and new residents, she added.
“We’ve worked hard to establish key relationships with case managers at all local hospitals and among key healthcare providers in the Tulsa area,” Green says.The balanced budget included a two dollar per hour pay raise for all full-time Certified Nurse Aides and Medication Aides earlier in 2019.
“We were proud to offer this significant pay increase in an effort to recruit and retain the very best professionals on the floor,” she says. “This will allow us to reduce turnover, eliminate agency staff use, provide consistent patient care, and build a reputation as an employer of choice in the Tulsa area.”“And of course, this has enabled us to improve our high standards of care, which is the end goal of everything we do.”
Saint Simeon’s has altered its model of care through the years to adapt to changes in the senior care landscape, she says.
“When we were founded 60 years ago, the focus was on independent living, which was in demand in the marketplace. That environment has changed through the years. Today, more seniors are living and receiving care at home.”
“The average length of stay of our residents has been decreasing and our residents have a higher level of acuity and require more care.” From a business standpoint, the market segments that Saint Simeon’s serves include varying levels of assisted living, memory care (those with a form of dementia or Alzheimer’s), health care, and Parkinson’s care.
(For more on innovative Parkinson’s care at Saint Simeon’s, see pages 10-11.)
“Solid health from a business and financial standpoint is important for the long-term success of Saint Simeon’s,” she says. “This strong foundation will allow us to continue to set the standard for compassionate care in a non-profit environment and promises to pave the way for tremendous growth in 2020 and beyond.” ■

BISHOP ED TO RETIRE AT END OF 2020
PREPARING TO SAY FAREWELL TO A LEGEND
That achievement is the result of a highly professional and caring staff and dedicated Foundation donors, he said.
In the next several months, Bishop Ed will continue his mission and church administrative work around the world.
He also will spend a significant amount of time with the new Bishop of Oklahoma – only the state’s sixth Bishop. “I encourage the new Bishop to continue to nurture these strong relationships with our institutions, remain active and fully participate in their mission.” The Bishop and his wife plan to make Oklahoma their permanent home in retirement. Debbie will continue working as the Chief Compliance Officer at Capital Advisers, a financial management firm.
What are his dreams for the future of Saint Simeon’s?
“I’d like to see it become three times the size but retain its culture of caring and quality,” he says. “I think we have opportunities for growth in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s care as the leading edge of the Baby Boomers heads toward a more advanced age.” He also would like to see Saint Simeon’s provide more support for residents who exhaust their assets through the Resident’s Benevolence Fund.
Bishop Ed is widely regarded as a spiritual leader in Oklahoma and a towering presence (height) not just among the state’s Episcopal communities but among its wider religious communities, as well as among business, educational and nonprofit leaders. ■
WELCOME TO BISHOP-ELECT
REV. POULSON REED
Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward J. Konieczny
Strengthening relationships with its affiliated institutions is a crowning achievement for the Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward J. Konieczny – or Bishop Ed as he is known - as he prepares to retire as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma.
Those institutions include schools, a camp and conference center, and adult living centers, including Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community. (Diocese-affiliated schools including Holland Hall in Tulsa and Casady in Oklahoma City.)
“In the past, there has been some distance between the Diocese and its institutions, not just at the corporate level, but in terms of personal relationships,” says Bishop Ed. “We have worked hard to reinvigorate those relationships while strengthening the institutions.” “When we re-established those relationships, we re-energized our work and ministry,” he added.“The Episcopal Church is not just about its congregations; the Church has a larger mission in the world and our communities. Much of our outreach and service is achieved through our schools and institutions.”
Bishop Ed was consecrated as Oklahoma’s fifth Episcopal Bishop in 2007. He will officially retire on Jan. 1, 2021, following a time of transition with the new Bishop who was elected in December 2019. (For more on the new Bishop, see facing page.)
Relationships and service are common themes for Bishop Ed as he looks back on his tenure and proudest achievements. Those values are what make Saint Simeon’s so special, he says.
“My wife Debbie and I have always felt part of the Saint Simeon’s family,” he says. “We have been privileged to participate fully in the life of Saint Simeon’s and have formed important relationships with its residents, staff and board members.”
Bishop Ed is the Chairman of both the Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community Board of Trustees and the Saint Simeon’s Foundation Board of Trustees.
“Trustees from both the Home and Foundation Boards have provided exemplary leadership through the years, and recently, have adroitly steered Saint Simeon’s through some challenging times. Their leadership and hard work have paid off – Saint Simeon’s now enjoys a balanced budget, healthy and consistent census in the upper 90 percent range, and a committed and compassionate staff.”
Today, he views the mission of the Saint Simeon’s Home and Foundation boards as perfectly aligned, as it is with the diocese.
“The mission of the church has always been about being present with people in their daily lives,” he says. “This is the gift that Saint Simeon’s provides to its residents – quality of life.” “You can see the joy in the eyes of its residents despite the challenges of the transitions they face. Saint Simeon’s has indeed set the standard for adult living and care in Oklahoma. We are the state’s leading non-profit senior living community.”
Rev. Poulson Reed recently was elected the sixth Episcopal Bishop of Oklahoma. Bishop-Elect Reed will officially start his post on April 1 and will be consecrated on April 18. He will serve alongside the Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward J. Konieczny until Bishop Ed’s retirement on Dec. 31.
Born in 1970, Poulson Reed grew up in Richmond, Virginia, where his mother was a church musician. A lifelong Episcopalian, he graduated from Saint Christopher’s, an Episcopal school for boys in Richmond. He
then attended the University of Virginia, graduating in 1992 with a double major in English and Religion. His academic studies continued with an M.F.A. in 1994 from the University of Utah, and a M.Div. from Yale Divinity School in 1997.
Before ordination, he worked as an English teacher, and was active in his local Episcopal church as a choir member, altar server, Daily Office leader, and Eucharistic visitor. During his ordination process, he served a year as a full time hospital chaplain resident at Saint Raphael’s Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut and an academic year as a chaplain intern at Brent House (the Episcopal campus ministry at the University of Chicago) and intern at Grace Church in the Chicago area.
Ordained a deacon in June of 2002 at Christ Church Cathedral in Hartford, Conn., he served at Saint John’s Cathedral in Denver, Colo., where he was ordained priest, and served for more than seven years as a curate, canon, and eventually as Sub-Dean.
Poulson Reed began serving as Rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church and Day School in Phoenix, Ariz., in 2009. During his time as Rector, All Saints’ strengthened its financial health, purchased and developed property to expand its campus, healed rifts between the church and school, began a community music school and chorister program for children and youth, and reached out to others through new ministries at a women’s prison, and Saint Paul’s Church and School in Haiti. ■
“Above all, Bishop Ed has brought a concerned presence to the diocese and its institutions. He has brought wisdom, empathy and spirituality as well as administrative leadership. Above all, he has developed and nurtured relationships. He will be missed.”
– George Dotson, Trustee

LET’S GO! ExcursionsSaint Simeon’s offers regular excursions to area museums, parks and concert venues to keep our residents connected to cultural events and activities in the Tulsa area. Recent trips have included the Gathering Place, Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Tulsa Zoo.
Bishop Robert M. Moody Wellness CenterAccording to the American Academy of Family Physicians, almost all older people could benefit from more physical activity. Studies have shown regular exercise prevents chronic disease, improves mood and lowers the chances of injury. Of course, seniors need to take a very different approach to physical fitness than they did when they were younger. That’s why Saint Simeon’s has specialized facilities with age-appropriate activities, supervision and instruction for residents. No matter the fitness level, our Wellness Center staff can customize an exercise plan specific to each resident’s needs.
Religious ServicesSaint Simeon’s is affiliated with the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, and offers several services each week, including Holy Communion in the Chapel of St. Anna, mid-week services in the Memory Center and Health Care Center, and regular Bible Study. Catholic mass is held monthly. However, all faiths and back-grounds are welcome at Saint Simeon’s.
Saint Simeon’s often receives recognition for its beautiful campus, flora and fauna, and of course, the highest standards of care. All are important components of the Saint Simeon’s Experience. But just as important are the fun and educational activities, inside and outside the building.
Saint Simeon’s has long been recognized for its Life Enrichment Program, which includes a wide variety of social, physical and recreational programming.
“We do our very best to provide an environment in which all residents are engaged on a daily basis,” says Katie Huebsch, Life Enrichment Coordinator. Several area families and foundations provide support each year for the life enrichment program.
On the next page is a sampling of what you’ll find happening at Saint Simeon’s every day.

Western Days – Saint Simeon’s annual fundraising gala – continues to be one of Tulsa’s most beloved and popular annual events. Last year, the 23rd annual Western Days celebration recorded its highest level of success in Saint Simeon’s history, raising more than $800,000. More than 700 guests attended the festivities at the Cox Business Center in downtown Tulsa. The theme for the evening was “Fiesta!”
“The success of Western Days in 2019 can be attributed to dozens of volunteers, including Foundation and Home board members, Western Days committee members, resident families, and Saint Simeon’s staff,” says Melissa Stallcup, who served as Co-Chair of the event, along with her husband Mac. “The entire Saint Simeon’s family came together to celebrate and honor the home, its residents, and our dedicated supporters.”
The event also featured the “Lots of Love” campaign in which guests kicked in $97,000 to purchase a new bus that can accommodate up to six passengers in wheelchairs.
Western Days also featured the popular Mid-Life Crisis Band, general store, photo booth, a fantastic meal and hundreds of interesting silent and live auction items.
“We are so grateful for the outpouring of support at Western Days,” says Angela Green, President and CEO of the Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community. “We would not be able to provide our residents with extra amenities and an even higher quality of life without Western Days support.”
Honorary Chairs of the evening were Gayle and Frank Eby; Patron Chairs were Hilary and Tom Clark and Barbara and John Turner; Live Auction Chairs were Beth and Scott Brown; and Silent Auction Chairs were Phyllis and George Dotson. Lisa Gray of the Foundation Office spent many hours working to make Western Days a success, and support was provided by local event and auction firms, including Rumbledrum and fundyourorg.com.
“We would like to thank the many members of our Patron and Advisory Committees for all their hard work in making Western Days the best ever,” says Melissa Stallcup. ■

When the Rev. Edward H. Eckel, Rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Tulsa, and his wife, Emily, envisioned a Christian senior living community that would attend to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of its residents, they could not possibly have imagined what would happen in the 60 years that have unfolded since its opening.
From a lovely retirement community nestled in the Osage Hills in 1960, Saint Simeon’s has expanded its facility and services to include a premier HealthCare Center, an Assisted Living Center with four levels of care, a Memory Center that brought the very latest in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia care to Oklahoma, and a Wellness Center complete with a warm saltwater pool and the latest in exercise equipment designed for seniors. Most recently, Saint Simeon’s has undergone a major commitment to the latest learnings, best practices, and certification for providing care to those suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
It’s true, we have come a very long way to achieve the current state of excellence in nursing care and services that continue to define Saint Simeon’s. But, as the old commercials used to say, that’s not all! From the beginning to the present day, Saint Simeon’s has also been very committed to spiritual care. From day one, there have been Episcopal clergy providing Chaplain services to the Saint Simeon’s community.
Initially, our founder, Fr. Edward Eckel, retired as Rector of Trinity, lived here as a member of the community, and served as Chaplain from 1960 until his death in 1969. Then a series of vicars of Saint Aidan’s Episcopal Church also took on responsibilities as Chaplain of Saint Simeon’s. These were: The Rev. Arthur Tripp, 1969 – 1972; The Rev Ernie Anderson, 1972 – 1976; and The Rev. Richard Brewer, 1976 – 1985. In 1986, The Rev. John Norris left his position as Rector of Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church, Tulsa, to become the first
full-time Chaplain of Saint Simeon’s. This was a significant upgrade and commitment to spiritual care provided to the community as both Saint Simeon’s and the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma worked to create and maintain that position. Fr. Norris served
as Chaplain from 1986 until Christmas Day, 2005. The following day, I became the sixth Chaplain and the second to hold that position as a full-time member of the staff. The changes I have seen to the physical facilities and services we provide have been many, significant, and amazing!
The real story of Saint Simeon’s, however, isn’t the buildings, staff, or accomplishments, as wonderful as they are. The real story is in the people who have lived here over the past 60 years – people from every walk of life who have actually given life to these buildings and purpose to our staff. One can feel the legacy they left as they helped to give Saint Simeon’s its soul. That legacy is being added to daily, and it is and always will be the very heart of this magnificent place.
May all who enter here be blessed,
Father Bill Holly

Raising awareness, making lives better, and finding a cure for Alzheimer’s and dementia are part of Saint Simeon’s outreach into the community.
Several Saint Simeon’s staff members are active in the local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association as well as the Dementia Friendly Tulsa initiative, coordinated by Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum. The Mayor hosted a symposium in 2017 to launch the all-volunteer, grass-roots initiative.
“It’s so important to educate the community, as well as clergy and parishioners, about memory care offered at Saint Simeon’s,” said Charlie Redding, Saint Simeon’s Director of Community Relations.
Recently, Saint Simeon’s served as a sponsor for the Alzheimer’s Association annual Memory Gala and Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Redding serves on the Association’s Executive and Recruitment Committee, and Katie Huebsch, Life Enrichment Coordinator, served as Volunteer Coordinator for last year’s Walk. Several Saint Simeon’s employees participated in the Walk.
In addition, Saint Simeon’s recently partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association to offer a community presentation titled “Estate Planning and Caring for a Loved One with Dementia.”
“Tulsa is fortunate to have a very strong chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association and
Saint Simeon’s is proud to serve as a vital community partner,” Redding says.
Redding also serves as a certified trainer for the Dementia Friendly Tulsa initiative, representing Saint Simeon’s and providing dementia training for organizations across the city.
Last summer, Saint Simeon’s brought in experts from Living Well with Dementia, LLC, to provide hands-on dementia training for allMemory Center staff. This was the first installment of a four-session intensive training experience. The second phase of training took place in December, and training will continue in 2020.
Saint Simeon’s also partners with Life Senior Services to offer continuing education for nursing administrators, social workers, case managers and other local health care professionals.
“We have a deep bench of senior care experts on the Saint Simeon’s campus,” says Angela Green, President and CEO. “It’s important for us to play a leading role in dementia and Alzheimer’s care in Tulsa, and more broadly, position Saint Simeon’s as a leader and expert in senior care in Tulsa and across the state.” ■
“Sometimes our residents forget they’re not at home.” – Hilary Sharp, Director of Nursing
The high quality of life enjoyed by Saint Simeon’s residents is well-known in the Tulsa area. But what is behind the “Saint Simeon’s Difference”?
“Simply put, Saint Simeon’s is a family environment – residents, their families, frontline staff, the administration – we all work towards a single goal – ensuring our residents live their very best lives every day,” says Hilary Sharp, Director of Nursing.
Care begins with education and training, hiring the best qualified professionals, and of course, compassion, Sharp says.
All frontline staff, including nurses and assistants, benefit from extensive training in dementia and Parkinson’s care, and certification in administering IVs and CPR, she says.
“Education, education, education is our mantra,” Sharp says. “We are committed to lifelong learning among our staff. More than anything else, that contributes to the ‘Saint Simeon’s Experience’.”
Education and training sessions are held in the new Lindsay Hurley Fick Education Centeron the Saint Simeon’s campus.
But the human touch also makes a difference, Sharp says.
“We really get to know our residents and families,” she says. “We discover their preferences so we can make their experience closer to home.”
“Sometimes our residents forget they’re not at home!” ■

Our residents are inspired by the bounty of life that exists at Saint Simeon’s, including the wildlife that thrives in the surrounding forest and of course, the beloved peacocks. It’s easy to take for granted the beauty of our campus. But take a closer look and the flora and fauna have secrets to tell.
HISTORIC MAGNOLIAAn historic “Andrew Jackson” magnolia tree grows near the entrance of the Saint Simeon’s campus. This tree originated as a sapling from the magnolia tree President Jackson planted in honor of his wife on the White House grounds. Not familiar with the Andrew Jackson magnolia? Just look at the back of a twenty dollar bill and find the magnolia growing next to the White House. Ruth Staudt donated the tree to Saint Simeon’s.
DAWN REDWOODSeveral years ago, a dawn redwood tree was planted on the Saint Simeon’s grounds. A cousin to the towering redwoods that grow in northern California, the dawn redwood is the only variety of redwood able to survive in Oklahoma. In several years, it will be the tallest tree on the Saint Simeon’s campus. The redwood was provided by Art Rubin.
COUNCIL OAKThe story of the Council Oak tree near downtown Tulsa is well-known to most residents. A sapling from that historic tree near 18th and Cheyenne Ave. was planted on the Saint Simeon’s campus – an offspring of the original Council Oak. Ruth Staudt also provided the sapling.
BALD CYPRESSThe bald cypress tree thrives in the swamps of Louisiana and is easily recognizable by the “knees” it grows to draw water and nutrients from marshy waters. Several bald cypress trees on the Saint Simeon’s campus also have grown “knees” – an unusual occurrence in our climate, the result of several wet seasons – and a much-used sprinkler system! These trees were donated by Jack Ward, master gardener.
Trees can be planted on the Saint Simeon’s campus and dedicated to loved ones by contacting the Saint Simeon’s Foundation at 918-794-1977. ■
A colorful portrait of our beloved Simone balancing a tennis ball on her nose is the most recent addition to the art collection at Saint Simeon’s.The painting was created by Hilary Clark, member of the Saint Simeon’s Founda-tion Board of Trustees and longtime Saint Simeon’s volunteer and supporter. It joins a substantial art collection that adorns the walls throughout Saint Simeon’s. Many pieces of art have been donated by residents and families through the years. The painting of Simone was purchased by Melissa and Mac Stallcup in the Silent Auction
at Western Days last year. The Stallcups, who served as Chairs of Western Days, donated the painting to Saint Simeon’s, where it has been permanently mounted in the Ice Cream Parlor. “It’s such a colorful and playful portrayal of Simone,” says Melissa. “Residents, families and visitors to the Ice Cream Parlor really seem to enjoy it.” Simone, 11, is cared for by Saint Simeon’s volunteer and former staff member Kathy Hinkle, who brings the beloved friend and mascot to spend quality time with residents at Saint Simeon’s on a daily basis. ■
Nestled on 50 secluded acres just outside downtown, Saint Simeon’s has been exceeding expectations in senior care and living since 1960.

A new bus capable of transporting up to six passengers in wheelchairs at one time recently was purchased by the Saint Simeon’s Senior Living Community.Guests at Western Days 2019 who participated in the “Lots of Love” campaign contributed more than $97,000 toward the purchase of the bus. “This terrific new vehicle will allow us to transport more passengers in wheelchairs for social, recreational, and educational excursions,” says Angela Green, President
and CEO of Saint Simeon’s. “We are so grateful to Western Days guests who stepped up to show ‘lots of love.’” Recently, residents toured fall foliage, visited the zoo, and participated in several Christmas light tours, according to Katie Huebsch, Life Enrichment Coordinator. The 2020 Diamond VIP 2500 bus will join the Saint Simeon’s vehicle fleet, which includes several other accessible vans and cars. The new bus features a Ford E-450 engine with six-speed automatic transmission,
top-level body equipment, and all the “bells and whistles,” including floor heater, sound system, and branded exterior wrap.Most importantly, the bus features the latest in wheelchair accessibility, including six chair positions with lift. “Now, nothing can stop us from providing fun excursions for more residents, even those with some mobility challenges,” Huebsch says. “This really does open up the world to our residents.” ■
