University Village Retirement Community A Tradition of Caring for over 50 years For 50 years, University Village has been one of the leading senior living communities in Tulsa.

Our excellent reputation is a result of a professional and caring staff and a legacy of committed ownership. University Village is owned by a group of local, Christian business leaders who understand the responsibility they have in shepherding the community through its next 50 years and beyond in service to Tulsa seniors and their families.

One of the little things people worry about giving up after a move to senior living? Their trip to the library. 📚

Every month, the Tulsa City-County Library bookmobile pulls right up to University Village. Residents can browse and check out books without ever leaving campus.

For anyone who loves to read, that's a big deal. A fresh stack of books can be something to look forward to all month.

Finn would also like you to know the books smell incredible.

Worried the days might feel too quiet after a move to senior living? Twice a week, our Wellness Studio says otherwise.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, residents at University Village get together for floor shuffleboard. It’s a game, but mostly it’s a standing reason to spend time with neighbors. A good shot never hurts, either.

If you think moving to a retirement community means slowing down, meet the Lucky 7. 🎳

This University Village team won both games last week in the National Senior League, a national Nintendo Switch bowling league, and took all five points. They’re sitting alone in first place in their conference, and their 20 points are tied for the most in the entire league. Nobody has more.

Captain Rolling Ron leads the team, along with Joanne, Don, and Ron. Joanne and Ron are both new to bowling, and both are in their 90s. Two Rons on one team, and somehow it works.

Worried about finding your people after a move to senior living? These guys saved you a seat at the table. 🃏

On the last Monday afternoon of every month, the men of University Village get together for Men’s Game Day. The cards come out and the poker faces get a serious workout. Whether those poker faces actually fool anyone is still up for debate.

A rookie and the Phyllisophical GOAT, two pins apart 🎳

Sheri started Nintendo Switch bowling in August. Phyllis has more perfect games than anyone at University Village.

In a recent National Senior League match, these Switch Hitters teammates went back and forth for the top score all game long.

Sheri held the lead by a pin or two until a split in the 10th frame. Phyllis finished with 257, Sheri with 255.

Friendly competition, real support, and a whole lot of heart. 💛

This is retirement at University Village.

If someone you love needed therapy tomorrow, would you know where to start?

At University Village, our therapy team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with both inpatient and outpatient options. They help with mobility, balance, speech, and daily living skills, all with the goal of getting people back to doing things on their own.

Every plan is built around the person, and recovery happens inside a community that’s here to support them.

What happens when the staff become the racehorses? 🏇

Once a month, six members of our University Village team take their places on a life size game board for Live Horse Races. It’s one of the most popular events in our Tulsa senior living community. Residents pick a cup with their horse’s number, then take turns rolling the dice. The first roll decides which horse moves, and the second decides how far.

If a resident’s horse finishes in the top three, they earn a token they can redeem for prizes. And yes, horse number five, Spirit, has a loyal fan club. Some residents even wear their Spirit tees to the races.

This month the horses showed up dressed for football season, from team jerseys to one giant foam finger. Finn, our therapy dog in training, watched it all from the game board. 🏈

Week one of the National Senior League is done, and four of our eight teams are already tied for first place.

The NSL is made up of 15 conferences, and our UV teams landed in 5 of them. Teams are grouped by skill, not location, so we bowl against teams from across the country. Opponents this week came from Maryland, Colorado, Florida, and Indiana. Every team plays everyone in its conference, so when two UV teams share one, they face each other.

A few weeks ago, University Village closed out Assisted Living Week the only way that made sense. A 60s theme party.

Tie dye, peace signs, party favors, balloons, and residents who dressed the part and then some.

The dancing said it all.

Because that week was about celebrating something bigger. The residents and staff who make this community what it is.
