Overview of Village at Oakwood

Nineteen years into operating in Oklahoma City’s Oklahoma County, Village at Oakwood runs a 110-bed assisted living and independent living community out of a two-story building at 817 SW 59th Street. The neighborhood is moderately walkable (Walk Score 67), which means some errands don’t require a car. Fidelia Oglesby serves as Executive Director, with John Wilson as General Manager.

Right now, 80 of the 110 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 73 percent. Inside, residents live in one-bedroom apartments and get an all-inclusive setup: rent, utilities, maintenance, and meals bundled together rather than billed separately. That kind of structure tends to simplify budgeting for families weighing long-term costs.

Day-to-day support covers the basics that matter most: medication management, personal care, housekeeping, transportation, and meal assistance. Recreational activities and fitness programming fill out the calendar beyond the caregiving side of things.

On the regulatory front, inspections here have tended to circle back to two areas: infection prevention and control, and resident rights and protections. Those are the categories that keep showing up in the record.

Village at Oakwood lands as a fairly standard, well-established assisted living option. Apartment-style housing, an all-inclusive cost model, and built-in personal care support point toward residents who want predictable daily structure without managing separate bills or arrangements for each piece of care.
