University Village had lots of activities and very nice people. The price point was good, but they didn't have memory care. The staff was wonderful. I saw a one-bedroom apartment. It was a Saturday visit and there were lots of activities going on. The amenities were not as pretty as the others, but it's functional. The leasing agent was very accommodating.

My parent has been at UV for one year and really likes it there. All the staff an nurses have been s I appreciate as I live far away. The nursing staff makes sure that my parent takes their meds, coordinates with their doctor, and the hospital, and keeps me informed of any concerns. My parent is very happy there and has made some good friends with residents and staff. The food selection is very good and there is good variety and choice. Like all places, there is a need for constant upkeep and maintenance. My parent’s studio apt was freshly painted, new carpet installed, and new fridge put in before she moved in. Basic maintenance issues issues are quickly addressed. There are a variety of activities - art, music, movies, exercise, gardening, bingo, comedy review, computer/cell phone help—and these are clearly posted. Overall my parent and I are glad she moved into UV. Great peace of mind for my family.

University Village was my first choice, but they didn't have an opening. It was a little bit classier and nicer. There's nothing bad about it. The apartments were fine. They had a computer room and a couple of post office boxes. They had a couple of games, and the staff was very helpful and cordial.

University Village is a big place, and it was nice. The eating area looked OK. and everybody seemed to be enjoying it. They have several different areas; there’s one which you can go for crafts, one where you can do some exercise, and I think they have everything there. I found it appealing. They had a studio room and a 1-bedroom, and I was pleased with it. They have a big closet, and even the bathroom can fit a wheelchair.

I liked the University Village because it had the cottages. It was nice, and it was our second choice.

We were most pleased by the UV staff. We found their caring for Mom genuine, compassionate, and "on point." Everyone from the dining staff to the LPN's were responsive to Mom's needs and you could tell that their actions are not the result of "it's just a job" but one of "a calling." The dining staff is to be recommended for their great food! We have no reservations in recommending UV to others.

My mom recently fell and cracked her pelvis. She stayed at University Village for over a month and I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff here. The physical therapy team is the warmest and caring people! A few times I did have to remind the nurses of things but not because they didn't care, only because they were trying to take care of the other residents also. Would happily have my mom stay here anytime! You won't be worried having your family be here!

My mother was in the rehabilitation unit at University Village for several weeks about three months ago. We were having trouble finding a place that would accept her. University Village did and we are so very grateful!! When mom entered the rehab from the hospital, I expected that she may not live much longer. Today she is back in her own home and doing wonderfully. Everything at University Village was top notch from the therapy department to nursing to the food. The place is ultra clean and doesn't have that "nursing home smell" that is often common in some places. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The administrator of the department even went out of his way to help me carry some of mom's things from the car. The nursing staff would always make sure she was comfortable and had everything she needed. I credit this place with my mother's recovery and with her being able to live a mostly independent life again. Thank you University Village!

My mother fell and broke her pelvis in four places. According to the hospital and Medicare, she did not qualify to be an inpatient, That meant that Medicare would not pay all of her bills at the hospital or at a Skilled Nursing Facility. We had to quickly look for a facility that could get her the care that she was going to need and get her out of the hospital. We found that care at University Village. She stayed nearly two months and progressed from needing two people to help her get to the bathroom to walking with the assistance of a walker. The physical therapy group was excellent. The food was good and the nursing and medical staff excellent. Our family would highly recommend University Village.

My mother was a skilled nursing resident for thirteen months until we lost her. The care she received was incredible.. The administration through the staff top to bottom is top notch. Given the opportunity again I would do exactly the same thing for my mother 's care. University Village exceeded all of my family's expectations.

We stopped by University Village to take a tour. We are looking for long term care for my father-in-law. When we arrived at the reception area, we were greeted by a very nice woman who paged someone to come and give us a tour of the nursing home. The man arrived rather quickly and took us on a tour. He answered all of our questions and introduced us to some of the staff. The place is VERY clean and didn't smell like so many nursing homes do and everyone was very friendly. We had to stop along the tour a couple of the times because the gentleman giving us the tour took the time to help a couple of people that needed assistance. One lady was confused, and he did a very good job of redirecting her. We were very pleased with the place and plan to move him in as soon as we are able.

The staff at University Village is very informative. However, they forfeited my room reservation. It was a single room with a bathroom, and a separate shower. They were quite accommodating in the dining room.

My husband and I toured this facility looking for long term care for my father. This place exceeded my expectations by far. The young man that gave us a tour of the nursing home was very friendly and eager to answer our questions. The whole of the building itself seemed exceedingly clean and well maintained. Everyone there greeted us with smiles and "hellos" when we walked by them. I am looking forward to having my father at this place.

I visited University Village, and I liked it. The community was nice, and it was well laid out. They had lots of room where you could walk. They take you to the store and carry your stuff in. I have a close friend living there. The single rooms like the studio are huge. It's a little far from my house, but I love the park-like setting that it is in.

I visited University Village Senior Living. They told me the price and I can't afford it. The atmosphere was good, and the residents seemed happy. The food seemed nice, but I did not eat there. I believe their activities were good.

We weren't terribly impressed with University Village. The staff was very nice. They had a lot of different activities for people who have Parkinson's, and that's their specialty. The rooms were small but clean. The place is old. It doesn't seem to have any perks.

We visited University Village at four different times. They were good visits. We loved the place; we loved the apartment. We were on the waiting list. We looked at their two different-sized 2-bedroom apartments. One was a very large apartment with a HUGE walk-in closet. It was very homey, reasonably priced, and the size was adequate. It had one apartment that was probably close to 1000 to 1100 square feet. They called us to say there's an apartment available. We went in, and it's just perfect for our needs. It was laid out like a mobile home would be. However, they were doing some redecorating, and they told us they could lease it to us for a year. At that time, they would be starting to work on that area and we would have to move out. They couldn't guarantee another place at their facility, and they wouldn't store your things. We didn’t want to get involved in something like that.
It's much an older building, so it's more difficult to clean. They also have a nursing facility attached with a covered walkway, so you can go and visit if you or your spouse becomes too ill to stay in the assisted living part. They had a nurse on duty on all days. They have more of cafeteria-type food. We overheard two of the staff talking about the food not being as sanitary and good in the memory care because the people didn’t know the difference about what they're getting. I found that if someone knows something like that and doesn't do or speak out about it to someone who could do something, then I don’t feel like they're hiring the best staff they could get. I have talked with them several times, and it's one of the places I'm going to look at again.

University Village is a quiet, peaceful facility which provides both privacy and many opportunities for social activities. The staff was always helpful, from the front desk to the nursing staff they were always simply a ring away. In the area in which my relative lived, the hallway was decorate with memories. Walking up to his door showed me the type of pride he had in being able to share his experience with those who passed by. Many of the tenants were self sustaining with vehicles of their own and those who did not have transportation had ready access to the University Village van as well as scheduled trips to the store. There were large gathering areas inside where you would often find a group of old friends gathered around playing games, enjoying each other's company. I always enjoyed visiting, they made me feel at ease about the transition into assisted living for my grandfather. If you are looking into finding a great new home for your loved ones in the Tulsa area, I recommend giving University Village a tour.
