University Village Retirement Community

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.

“I knew no one when I moved in.” 🤍

And now? Cards, bridge, Canasta, lunches — and yes, a Wii Bowling league that competes against other retirement communities every spring. 🎳

That’s not luck. That’s University Village.

We asked a few of our residents what a good day here looks like — and the answer was the same across the board: there’s always something to do, and always someone to do it with.

If you or someone you love is looking for a community where life stays full, connected, and genuinely fun — come see what we’re about.

Spend a little time here, and you’ll start to notice the talent.

From Linda’s carefully pieced quilts to a table runner she’s making for the Circle Lounge, every stitch reflects years of skill.

Helga has created dozens of quilts over her lifetime — many given to family as meaningful gifts — and now you’ll still find her knitting with the Yarn Spinners.

Creativity doesn’t retire.

You never know what might be happening here on a weekday afternoon.

This week, Carolyn Orr from Ransomed Relics joined us for a hydrangea painting class — and every table had its own take on the canvas. It’s just one of the many ways we bring fresh, creative experiences into the community.

Follow along to see what life at University Village looks like from week to week.

It’s not required. They just do it anyway.

Every month, Yvonne and Carmen take Live Horse Races to another level with over-the-top costumes and full commitment to the theme. The residents wait for it — and they never disappoint.

This is the kind of spirit that makes community special.

This is how we do a Winter Ball.

Beautiful tables, sparkling drinks, sweet treats… and a dance floor that did not stay empty for long. By the time the conga line started, the whole room was moving.

Moments like this are what make community feel alive.

Follow along for more real-life celebrations from University Village — or share this with someone who loves a good dance floor.

You can feel it the second the cage starts spinning.

Prime Time Bingo is part competition, part comedy, and all community. Cards out, eyes focused, neighbors side by side.

After all these years… you’d think they’d know.

At our Valentine’s Party, the Not-So-Newlywed Game took a turn when we asked the husbands what they’d find in their wife’s purse (besides a wallet). The wives had to guess what their husbands said — and let’s just say… only one couple nailed it.

Good thing love doesn’t depend on purse inventory. 💕

This isn’t just a knitting circle.

The Yarn Spinners bring decades of skill to the table — knitting, quilting, needlepoint — hands that have been creating beautiful things for years. Right now, that talent is going toward baby caps for the PICU at St. Francis, lap blankets for neighbors in long-term care, and one very special baby blanket for a great-granddaughter on the way.

Talent like this deserves to be seen. Follow along for more moments that show how community really looks here.

You haven’t seen horse racing like this.

Six “horses,” a giant game board, residents rolling the dice, and three to four races in one afternoon. It’s loud, competitive, and one of our favorite monthly traditions — complete with tokens for winners and candy at the finish line.

Calendar reveal day is kind of a big deal around here. 📅

At our monthly assisted living meeting, residents get the inside scoop on all the fun coming up — from favorite activities to special events worth circling.

Because half the fun is knowing what’s next… and the other half is showing up.

Before we fully pack up the Christmas season… we had to share this. 🎹

Wade Daniel closed out the holidays at University Village with a beautiful Christmas concert that had our residents smiling, humming along, and soaking in every note. From classic carols to familiar seasonal favorites, it was one of those moments that felt calm, joyful, and exactly what December is meant to hold.

A perfect final bow on the season before we step into a brand-new year.

spent the day sharing music and joy with our residents — from carolers visiting the health center Thursday night to ninety kindergarteners filling the halls with Christmas songs earlier in the day. It was one of those moments that instantly felt special (and a little magical).

We’re so grateful for groups like Victory Church who take the time to bring warmth and kindness into our senior living community here in Tulsa. Those simple acts mean more than they probably know.

Share this with someone who loves seeing the heart of the season in action.
