University Village Retirement Community

Peggy

My husband and I are both at University Village Retirement Community. I'm at the independent living while my husband is at the nursing home. It's clean, people are friendly, and the food is good. I like my cottage and it's well-kept. I'm in the cottage away from the big building, away from the nursing home section. The staff is very friendly and caring. They play bowling, bridge, and bingo. They have exercise classes and I'm sure there's more. I bring my food back to my cottage, but their dining room is very spacious and nice. It's a very good value for the money. My husband said he's receiving wonderful care.

We visited University Village Retirement Community. We saw their assisted and independent living. The staff was very nice. My father was there in their skilled nursing at the time. It's hard to review them because my parents haven't made the decision. I don't know what their preferences are, but from my point of view, it was just a little bit older than the other ones we visited. My father has been there three times since October to March. The rooms were clean, but very bareboned and very clinical. The food was a big contention for University Village. He didn't like their food. We are Jewish, and he doesn't eat pork. I guess pork was in a lot of the options. Absent Covid, they seemed pretty active. Anywhere my dad has been, the staff has been great because they're super patient. They had a chapel and a hair salon, which we didn't get to see because of Covid.

I went to University Village Retirement Community to visit their long-term care area. It was more institutional like, but they do have private rooms. We didn't get to tour the whole facility because of COVID, but we walked through and looked at a room. We didn't get to really see the dining room or the other common areas that they have for the residents, but it was OK. What I liked the most about them was their level of care, and the fact that they have quite a bit of staff. They were everywhere. I think that was the main thing that impressed me. We're all pretty satisfied with the level of care that they could give my mom. The room was also nice, and they supply furnishings, like a hospital bed. Everything is provided, like TV, furniture, and all levels of care. We didn't get to try the food because of the COVID restrictions, but we were there when they had lunch, and it smelled real good though. The nursing home area was an older facility, but the rest of the place, like the assisted living, the cottages, and stuff there were nice. The price is really good too. You can hardly beat it.

University Village Retirement Community was nice. It looked a little bit Taj Mahal and maybe too nice. The dining room is great, it looked really professional and the tables are evenly spaced for Covid. The rooms were nice and uniformed. They had no regular tub. All the showers were walk-in, so if you wanted to soak in a tub you just wouldn't have a chance to. Their facility was nice.

Joe

University Village Retirement Community was nice, but they did not have enough cottages, and I wanted a semi independent living. I only met one staff. They had 1 and 2-bedrooms, and they were nice and well laid out. It was during the Covid lockdown, so it was difficult to see a lot of things. There were plenty of space outdoors, and you could walk on the streets. The facility was well maintained.

Sue

My sister is in University Village Retirement. It's a large facility that has real nice, upscale independent living cottages, and smaller apartments for independent living, they also have assisted living units, and she is in their skilled nursing care. That has been a real blessing, my niece who is there, has found them very good to work with and communicate with, and they have been very helpful in giving her information. My sister is very pleased that they're very helpful, they're very kind, and she's been in quarantine the whole time. These girls are bringing her extra food and snacks and giving her Ensure. She's very content and very pleased there.

University Village Retirement Community would have been my wife's choice. She would have picked them first. Both of us enjoyed the interactions that we had with some of the current tenants that are living there. They were kind to us, engaging and easy to talk to. They told us of their enjoyment living there, so that was inviting. However, the age of the building was 30 to 40 years old, and it looked that way. At best, they put several coats of paint to keep things nice and neat, but they weren't up to par with other communities. I didn't care for them.

John

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.

James

My visit to University Village Retirement Community was okay. It was my impression that it was not fully occupied; perhaps the number of people living there is declining. It's one of the older senior living communities in the area. The facilities or apartments we looked at were all like 70's or 80's, in other words they're like 20 or 30 years old or older. That was the only negative I have; people were certainly nice. I saw the dining area, but I did not try the food. The dining area was okay; I have no negative impression of it. The apartments are fine, though not as modern. We're living in a new house, relatively new, and their apartments were all kind of dated. They had a fitness area. The person who showed us around there was very competent and a very nice person. I was uneasy about the location, it wasn't very far from a high-crime area in Tulsa. There's a Walmart store in the neighborhood that would be an easier location to buy groceries and stuff.

The rehab and skilled nursing at University Village is exceptional. It is a very clean place. Everyone was very nice and helpful. My mother made a great recovery. I would recommend this place to anyone.

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.

Ralph

We looked at University Village Retirement Community and were very impressed. We liked the layout, facilities, staff, and food. The independent living is in cottages away from the main building, which was one thing that we liked. If you need to go into assisted or skilled nursing, they're all there on-site. The food was good and delicious. The apartments were very spacious and come complete with everything you need; take care of all of it. The staff was very good. They keep the facility immaculate.

Mpm has lived at University Village for over 5 years. As long as Mom was able to care for herself, we had no problems. When we went to Assisted Living, it was one nightmare after another. They left her in pain for hours several times. They evidently only give meds twice a day. If you need more than that, you are out of luck. The last disaster was giving her a suppository and leaving her alone all night. ONLY LEAVE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE IF THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.

MY MOM LIVES HERE, WONDERFUL PLACE . FOOD IS GOOD I EAT THERE MYSELF WHEN WE GO TO SEE MOM. MR MORRIS IS VERY COOL ! PEOPLE TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER THERE.

The apartments at University Village were OK. The bedroom was on the smaller side, but not much of a kitchen. I was not impressed. In fact, they did not seem to want me to interact with their clientele at all. It did appear clean and orderly, but it was not welcoming. It was really more of the staff. I had a friend with me, and they didn’t seem to appreciate that.

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.

NinaLeighMOM

Good communication and feedback regarding the patient. Well kept facility with good to moderate nursing attention. Very helpful during the intake processs. Only concern was being sent home with meds and it was confusing what was still being taken and what had been given at the arrival. Some of it had changed.

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. Howard

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.

The cottages at the University Village Retirement Community were being renovated when we visited. They were very nice, sunny and roomy. We are interested in the one-bedroom deluxe cottage. Sylvia, the lady who gave us the tour, was very nice, and we all liked her very much. It seems the facility offers everything my mom needs. They only serve one meal a day but they said their servings are large enough for take away for another meal. They have a wide range of activities. My mom is a quilter, and it is her passion -- good thing the dining room or living room or the one-bedroom deluxe cottage is big enough to accommodate her quilt train. They have walking trails, as she also likes walking.

At University Village, everyone was friendly. It was clean, and they had home healthcare onsite, if you needed it. It was conveniently located to where I live, and I was sold on that one. They were cottages that were all ground level, with your own front porch and little backyard area, and some of them have little fenced areas for pets. The dining area was all clean and nice, and one thing I did like is they didn't require that you have three meals a day. It was actually two, which gives people an option.

University Village has been excellent. The people are friendly. The accommodations are terrific. It has been a very good experience. The food is very good and very well served. The serving staff is super. Dining is excellent. They do have a lot of activities for the residents.

Sue98097050

We liked the variety of University Village had to offer and the cleanliness of the facility. They had duplex housing as well as one and 2-bedroom apartments. The staff was friendly, helpful and informative. I've seen their dining area and it's nice, with great variety and great service. I was most impressed by the succession in care. They start out with independent living and go to assisted living and then the full nursing care if needed. They also have a van that takes residents shopping and doctor's appointments as well as exercise classes, arts and entertainment.

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.

James91704050

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.

Caring94620650

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.

In 1994 after Mom died we moved Dad to University Village's assisted living complex. Even at 90 he was very ambulatory and active physically but we were unaware how dementia was affecting him. He had walked away from the facility on a few occasions, once noticed by an employee about a mile away and she returned him to the home. It was decided for security reasons to place him in the nursing home area with an ankle monitor. I was concerned because of bad previous experiences in nursing homes but this was always immaculate and never smelled bad. A few weeks after he was settled in I asked him how he liked it and, though never one to complain much, he said they didn't feed much and he had no breakfast. I inquired with the manager when I left and she said he ate at every meal. I asked what they served for breakfast and she gave a basic diet for most 90-year-olds. I explained he had eaten sausage, eggs and biscuits with gravy for 90 years. She was surprised he could still eat like that and told me to bring a note from his doctor saying that was OK. He never complained about the food again. After about two years, he injured his heel and with his memory fading he would forget it was hurt and re-injure it. In spite of their diligent efforts to monitor his activities, the injury became infected, leading to an abcess. He had always been so active and the lack of mobility affected his attitude about living and I believe he was ready to leave this world. He eventually developed some respiratory problems and we were alerted that he might not survive much longer. He was at peace with that and died a few days later. The staff was extremely cooperative in every facet of his treatment and the manager always available for any question we might have.
