About

“You hear laughing here every day. People planning their day, where they’re going. That’s living!”

In 1990, Epworth Villa opened its doors, and we’ve been flourishing ever since. Our residents include singles and couples from all walks of life. Retired teachers, ministers, military, veterans, physicians, lawyers, small business owners, full-time homemakers, and more, all united by an enthusiasm for life and each other. True, deep friendships are made among those who live here, and the result is a sense of community you’ll not likely find anywhere else.

Epworth Villa was founded by and is affiliated with the Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church. However, you’ll find people of many denominations living here. Welcoming people of all backgrounds and faiths is one of the reasons our community has such vitality and strength.

As a locally owned not-for-profit Life Plan Community, we reinvest our revenue after expenses back into the community to maintain staff and our beautiful environment and to keep enhancing services and amenities.

As the senior population continues to grow, we will continue to adjust to meet their expanding needs and their desire to embrace all that life has to offer.
