Good — a clean, solid state inspection record — better than most Oklahoma communities.
Based on Oklahoma state (OSDH) survey history — assisted living and memory care have no federal star rating.
2 inspections in the last two years · 1 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings
State inspectors visited University Village twice in this period. In February 2025 they investigated two complaints alleging verbal, physical, psychosocial and sexual abuse; they observed residents with staff throughout the visit, interviewed residents and staff, reviewed records and resident council minutes, and cited no deficiencies. The April 2025 licensing survey cited one item: six opened food containers in one of four kitchen refrigerators and the warming cabinet had no open/use-by date. The kitchen team was retrained and a May 2025 revisit confirmed the community was back in substantial compliance.
Summarized from Oklahoma State Department of Health survey documents. Inspections are a snapshot of specific days and sample a small number of residents.

Call me before you call them. Once you contact the community directly, they treat you as a walk-in — and I usually can't step in as your advocate anymore. Reach me first and you keep someone on your side for the whole search, free. There are a couple of things about this community I'd tell you on the phone that aren't on this page.
