South Tulsa covers the city south of 51st Street, from the Tulsa Hills shopping district and the Inverness area west of the river, across the Riverside and Lewis Avenue corridors, out to the Memorial Drive and Mingo Road neighborhoods around 71st, 91st and 101st streets. Saint Francis Hospital on Yale Avenue and the Saint Francis South and Hillcrest South campuses near 91st and Highway 169 serve the area.
This is where most of Tulsa's purpose-built assisted living and continuing care campuses are, many with dementia special care units, so a family can often compare five or six licensed options within a few miles. That density makes the state's survey documents especially useful for telling buildings apart.
