Epworth Villa Health Services is a 130-bed skilled nursing facility administrated by Barbara Harter at 14901 North Penn Avenue in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134, in Oklahoma County. The facility is owned by Central Oklahoma United Methodist Retirement Facility Inc and operates as a voluntary non-profit Life Plan Community partnered with OU Health for comprehensive geriatric care. Epworth Villa provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing with 24-hour staffing, accepting Medicare for short-term rehabilitation and private pay.
The facility maintains an overall CMS rating of 4 out of 5, exceeding the Oklahoma state average of 3.4 out of 5. Health inspection ratings are 4 out of 5; staffing ratings are 4 out of 5; quality measure ratings are 4 out of 5. Epworth Villa provides 6 hours 50 minutes of nursing care per resident per day, 34 percent above the Oklahoma average. The facility employs 207 staff members at a 3:1 staff-to-resident ratio, 74 percent better than the state average. Occupancy is 83.1 percent with 108 residents in 130 beds. The community primarily serves Medicare patients in short-term rehabilitation (average 24-day stay) and private-pay residents in longer stays of 2 to 3 months.
Epworth Villa’s inspection history reflects areas of ongoing concern. Four health inspections in the past three years yielded 9 citations, including 1 critical citation for quality of care in May 2025 and 1 serious citation for quality of care from 2022. Additional citations addressed nutrition, care planning, and infection control. Substantiated complaint investigations from 2022 through 2025 documented medication administration and neglect concerns, though several complaints were unsubstantiated. All cited deficiencies were corrected. A 2023 reinspection confirmed correction of earlier issues, indicating some improvement. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions appear in available documentation. Quality of life and care deficiencies represent 44 percent of documented findings over the past three years.

Oklahoma average: 8 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on November 4, 2025, did not include deficiencies as it was a change of information submission related to memory care services. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication management and staff training, including issues with medication cart security, medication administration errors, and incomplete staff abuse training. Complaint investigations from 2022 through 2025 substantiated some medication administration and neglect concerns but also included several unsubstantiated complaints. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed some prior deficiencies, as a 2023 reinspection confirmed correction of earlier issues, indicating some improvement over time.
