Chaplain visits for elderly parents
Nursing Home & Assisted Living Visits in Tulsa
I'm Michael Reece, a hospice chaplain for 10 years. I visit loved ones in nursing homes, assisted living, memory care, hospitals, and at home in Tulsa, Sapulpa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, Jenks, Owasso, Sand Springs, and Glenpool, with music, conversation, and, if it's welcome, scripture and prayer.
What a visit looks like
Time together, music, and a short note home
A visit is unhurried. I sit with your loved one, listen to their stories, talk about the day, and keep them company. I often bring my guitar and play music. If they would like, we can share scripture and prayer. If they would rather talk about family news, a favorite memory, or the weather, that is just as welcome.
I've been a hospice chaplain for 10 years, so I am used to sitting with people at every stage of aging and illness, including memory care. I follow their pace and their comfort. Nothing about the visit has to be formal.
After the visit, I can send your family a short note about how the time went, so you have a picture of the visit even if you could not be there that day.
Who it's for
For families nearby, and for families farther away
This is for adult children and families who want a caring chaplain to spend time with Mom or Dad, or with another loved one.
Some families live here in the Tulsa area and want another familiar person to stop in during the week. Some live farther away and want someone they can trust to visit, and then to hear how the visit went. If work, distance, or a full week makes it hard to be there as often as you would like, I can be another caring presence, alongside your own visits and calls.
If you are choosing a nursing home or an assisted living community in the area and would like a chaplain who can visit as well, you are welcome to reach out.

A regular rhythm
Weekly or monthly visits
Many families ask me to come on a regular schedule, once a week or once a month. A steady visit can become something your loved one looks forward to, and it gives you a consistent word about how they are doing.
We can start with a single visit and decide together whether a recurring plan would help. If you already have a day or time in mind, mention it in the form.
Faith and background
Faith-friendly, for any background
I am glad to share scripture and prayer when that is wanted. I also visit people of any faith background, and people who are not religious. You do not have to belong to a church, and you do not have to share a particular belief. The visit follows what brings your loved one comfort.
