Tahlequah, Oklahoma Assisted Living Community

About Our Community

This is the promise that the staff at Heritage Place - and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities has shared since 1999 - when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.

The Perfect Location

Set on four acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard. Heritage Place is considered one of Cherokee County’s premier senior living communities. Located off of Highway 82, our community offers 39 apartments all on one floor for easy access. Here our residents, in many cases with their pets, enjoy retirement living.

A Wonderful Selection

Once a resident moves into Heritage Place, he/she immediately comment on how much this place feels like home. Our company Motto is “Our family is committed to yours” and at Heritage Place we make that motto a reality.

Strong, Caring Professional Relationships

Capacity for caring

Excerpt

At first, Magdalene Timmons was reluctant to accept the idea of moving into an assisted living environment when her son and daughter approached her about it. But when Timmons’ car was stolen from her rural home, she agreed with her children.

“When I came here, I didn’t really want to come. I had a really nice home and acreage, but one night I was spending the night with my daughter here in town, and when she drove me home, my car wasn’t in the carport. I thought my son had taken it to be serviced, but that wasn’t the case. Someone had stolen my car,” Timmons recalled. “That’s when my children wanted me to move here.”

Timmons would still rather be home, but the break-in was a wake-up call.

“Life moves on and nothings stays the same, but I’ve made good friends here,” she said. “I’m happy here, and I’m a member of the First Baptist Church, and that’s nearby. If I don’t have a ride, the church will pick me up.”
