4.6 / 5.0

As a retiree, I have worked and managed in many very different environments. I have never see a staff that is so proactive, works so well together, and has such positive attitudes. The room sizes and amenities offered to residents in memory care seem to be just fine!

2.6 / 5.0

There are three meals a day served to the residents, and they have choices to choose from. The community could use more staff overall to assist with the care of the residen...

How people pay for assisted living in Tulsa

Many seniors and families plan ahead to ensure an assisted living community is within their budget. Here, you’ll find ways you and your loved one can pay for assisted living care. Assisted living can be attainable with a combination of private income sources and public benefits, such as Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Private pay methods in Tulsa

Like many seniors and families, you may pay for some or all assisted living costs with personal income like savings, pensions, and investment returns. Your loved one may also be able to cover senior care costs through other private methods like the following:

Can veterans benefits help cover assisted living costs?

Yes, qualifying senior veterans can pay for some or all assisted living costs with VA benefits like the Aid and Attendance benefit and the Veterans Pension. In fact, senior veterans could use these specific payments for anything that improves their quality of life, from care costs to transportation costs. Most veterans find that the Aid and Attendance benefit offers the most assistance since it’s added on top of the Veterans Pension.

Is my loved one eligible for VA benefits?

If your loved one is disabled or a surviving spouse, it’s likely they will qualify for some type of VA benefit. Don’t let the word “disabled” put you off looking into benefits. The VA has an extensive list of eligible service-connected disabilities. This list is not exhaustive, and there are many factors that determine what type of benefits a veteran qualifies for. Therefore, it’s essential to reach out to local veteran benefit officers to ensure your loved one receives all they can from the VA.

How can my loved one find help with VA benefits?

You and your loved one can find extremely helpful guidance when looking for veterans benefits assistance in Tulsa. The city helps veterans understand what they qualify for, work through the application process, and file claims with resources from veterans service organizations (VSOs). The Muskogee VA Regional Benefit Office is another great resource for understanding benefits.

Below, we highlight some of the VSOs available in Tulsa, and the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) lists even more resources for veterans in Oklahoma through their site. Other resources like the Tulsa Area United Way’s community resource line and Eastern Oklahoma 2-1-1’s veteran benefits assistance search can help local seniors find additional support.

We also encourage you to look into VSO nonprofits. You can find local chapters for Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans of America in the lists below.

The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs also helps veterans find local resources with its VALOR (or OKVALOR) veterans assistance locator. Some seniors may find this system difficult to navigate, so here is a step-by-step guide on how to find Tulsa VSOs below:

  • Visit OKVALOR. Then, click on GO TO OKVALOR.
  • On the left-hand side are five clickable options — LAYERS, NAVIGATION, FILTERS, FEATURES, and CONTACT. Click on LAYERS. Then, turn on Veteran Support. If a senior wants to find other resources, turn on other preferred options.
  • Next, select NAVIGATION. Choose the county or city where your loved one’s potential community exists.
  • Then, select FILTERS on the left-hand side. Turn on Veterans Assist and then select Veteran Service Organization. Individuals can also click on other resources if needed.
  • Finally, a list of VSOs will appear on the right-hand side. Clicking the resource name or the map’s clickable triangles will provide more details on that resource’s location, like hours, fees, and services.

Click on the FEATURES tab at any time for further guidance on operating OKVALOR and using different features.

Note: The main page includes an area for addresses, but this may generate unclear results or errors if the address isn’t exact.

Tulsa Medicaid for assisted living

SoonerCare — Oklahoma’s Medicaid program — can help eligible low-income seniors receive health care coverage. This state-funded health insurance program can cover care services such as the following:

  • Personal care services
  • Prescription drugs
  • Medical equipment and diabetic supplies
  • Inpatient hospital services
  • Laboratory and X-ray services

SoonerCare doesn’t cover room and board costs in an assisted living facility. However, home and community based services waivers help cover in-home health care services in a senior’s residence like an assisted living community.

What is covered by the ADvantage Waiver program?

The home and community based services waiver, ADvantage Waiver Program, helps cover the following in an assisted living community:

  • Personal caregiving services
  • Personal care in adult day health
  • Physical, respiratory, occupational, and speech therapies
  • Skilled nursing and hospice care services
  • Transitional case management

The Community Living, Aging, and Protective Services (CAP) webpage can help your loved one find similar services if they don’t meet ADvantage criteria.

What is the ADvantage Assisted Living Service Option (ALSO)?

SoonerCare ADvantage waiver recipients can access assisted living options through the Assisted Living Service Option (ALSO) by requesting it through their ADvantage Case Manager. However, seniors must meet additional qualifications to access ALSO:

  • Their current home must be deemed unsafe.
  • Their current home limits their activities of daily living.
  • They’re at risk of losing their home.
  • They need more care than an in-home caregiver can provide.
  • They need to move out of their current assisted living community.

ALSO is only available for designated ADvantage assisted living facilities, but A Place for Mom doesn’t partner with these facilities. You can, however, access a list of ADvantage assisted living facilities on the Oklahoma Department of Human Services website.

If your loved one isn’t an ADvantage recipient, they can call ALSO’s care line 800-435-4711 to request access to the service.

How can my loved one learn more about SoonerCare coverage?

SoonerCare programs may be difficult to navigate. Many resources in Tulsa, like the Department of Human Services and Social Security Administration offices, help guide locals through SoonerCare programs, benefits, the application process, and filing claims.

Your loved one can use our resources below and find additional resources using Eastern Oklahoma’s 2-1-1 community resource line or online chat.

Medicare assisted living coverage in Tulsa

Seniors age 65+ may be eligible for medical coverage through the federal health insurance program, Medicare. Unfortunately, Medicare doesn’t cover room and board costs in an assisted living community. Instead, Medicare helps cover medically necessary services associated with assisted living, such as those below:

  • Care services for hospice or rehabilitation
  • Short-term skilled nursing services
  • Prescription medications
  • Doctors’ appointments and hospital stays

Additionally, seniors age 55+ may be able to access low-cost health care services with the help of the dual Medicaid and Medicare Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Eligible seniors can find various health care services, like the following:

  • Nursing home care
  • Hospice care
  • Meals
  • Medically necessary transportation
  • Prescriptions
  • Physical, occupational, and speech therapies

Ways to pay Medicare premiums

Oklahoma’s Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) provides programs that help low-income Medicare recipients with premium costs.

  • Medicare Savings Programs can help cover Medicare Part A and/or B premium expenses, as well as diabetes supplies and services.
  • Extra Help (or Low-Income Subsidy) can help cover prescription medication and Medicare Part D (prescription coverage) costs.

How to learn more about Medicare

Tulsa residents have access to multiple local resources — like the Social Security and area agency on aging offices — to help guide them through Medicare benefits, eligibility requirements, the application process, and filing claims. Community Living, Aging, and Protective Services (CAP) can also provide insight and assistance.

Seniors can receive specialized help through the Senior Health Insurance Counseling Program, dedicated to helping seniors with Medicare benefits. Your loved one can also use the Eastern Oklahoma resource line via the nonprofit organization Tulsa Area United Way.

If a senior ever needs an advocate to represent their health care rights, the state long-term care ombudsman is dedicated to championing the aging population.

Tulsa laws and regulations for assisted living facilities

Oklahoma assisted living facilities must meet certain regulations to keep seniors safe. The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) licenses every assisted living community as an assisted living center or residential care home.[03,04]

  • Residential care homes provide supportive personal care services for individuals who are ambulatory (can walk without help),capable of managing their personal affairs, and don’t require intermittent skilled nursing care.
  • Assisted living centers (i.e. assisted living communities) assist two or more individuals who need personal care services or nursing supervision. These individuals don’t have to be ambulatory and may need intermittent nursing care.

Are assisted living communities in Tulsa inspected?

Yes, assisted living centers and residential care homes must be inspected every 15 months to be licensed. These inspections help ensure the building is up to current standards, follows State Fire Marshal rules, and meets local fire safety requirements.[03] The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) makes these reports available to the public on the Long Term Care Provider Survey/Inspection Search.

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to navigate the system and find detailed reports on Tulsa assisted living facilities.

  • Click on the OSDH Long Term Care Provider Survey/Inspection Search link. This search engine may require seniors to turn off their pop-up blocker.
  • The website has three drop-down bars — Home, Search, and Contact Us — in the top left-hand corner. Hover over Search to see a drop-down list of options. Then, click Assisted Living Centers or Residential Care Homes.
  • Here you can search by facility name, city, county, or zip code. Use your preferred search method and select what you’re looking for. Then, click Search.
  • A list of assisted living centers will be generated. Click on any that you’d like to learn more about. By clicking on a community, you’ll find detailed information about that facility and a list of documents (SURVEY DOCUMENTS or LICENSES).
  • It’s most beneficial to review the most recent SURVEY DOCUMENTS, as they offer the most detailed information on complaint investigations, deficiencies, and plans of corrections.

What assisted living facility building requirements exist?

Assisted living facilities in Oklahoma don’t have many building regulations. However, the state does ensure residents in assisted living communities don’t have to share private areas. There can be no more than two residents per bedroom and no more than four residents per bathroom.[03]

While Oklahoma doesn’t require private units in assisted living facilities, every community must offer privacy with lockable doors in every unit. Even if your loved one shares a unit, they can bring personal furnishings per Oklahoma law.[03]

How do staffing requirements help seniors receive the best care?

Assisted living communities must provide adequate staffing to meet the needs of every resident by staffing the following positions:[03]

  • Nurses
  • Qualified staff to give medications
  • An administrator responsible for the facility
  • A licensed dietician or nutritionist

Staff members who work directly with residents must be trained in first aid and CPR to ensure the safety of senior residents. Additionally, your loved one will always have attentive caregivers available, as Oklahoma law requires assisted living communities to have at least two staff members awake and on-duty at all times. At least one direct care staff member must be available around the clock, limiting access to areas outside the facility.[03]

What services can assisted living facilities provide in Tulsa?

Assisted living communities in Oklahoma are allowed to provide multiple senior care services, like those listed below:[03]

  • Personal care
  • Nursing supervision and intermittent nursing care
  • Medication administration under a doctor’s orders
  • Assistance with transfers
  • Social activities
  • Meals
  • Housekeeping and laundry services
  • Help with cognitive care and dementia care services

Assisted living communities aren’t allowed to admit seniors who need more care than the facility can provide. Community health professionals are legally obligated to identify whether a senior will receive the care they need in that facility. After consulting with the senior, the community health professional must create a customized care plan.[03]

Does a senior have rights in an assisted living community?

Yes, seniors have the right to know about community procedures and services they can receive. A senior should receive a complete contract from an assisted living facility before moving into the community. This contract should include answers to the following:[03]

  • What are the admission and discharge criteria?
  • What services does the community provide?
  • How does the community handle dispute resolution and grievances?
  • What is the contract term?
  • How can my loved one renew their contract?
  • What are the cancellation provisions?
  • Does the community conform to state law?

Do residential care homes follow different regulations?

Residential care homes and assisted living centers follow similar guidelines. However, there are some notable differences.

For example, residential care homes must staff a sufficient amount of caregivers who are available for at least 45 minutes daily per person. Additionally, one person must be in charge of the home at all times. Similar to assisted living centers, residential care homes must always have one staff member trained in first aid and CPR on site 24/7.[04]

Residential care homes also allow more residents per room and common area:[04]

  • For every six residents, there must be one bathroom
  • For every 10 residents, there must be at least one tub or shower
  • Note: Regulations also vary for residential care homes for three or fewer residents.

COVID-19 regulations for Tulsa assisted living facilities

Since Oklahoma’s public health emergency ended in May 2021, Tulsa no longer has COVID-19 restrictions. However, seniors and their families should ask prospective communities about specific on-site COVID-19 policies since a community may have its own guidelines. Since COVID-19 policies consistently change, visit Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) for the most current local guidelines.

What assisted living is like in Tulsa

Assisted living supports seniors while encouraging socialization and active living through engaging activities. From elegant communities with modern touches to charming communities with warm hues, Tulsa provides a wide range of assisted living communities. Read on to learn how our partners ensure your loved one will feel at home and cared for.

What’s the difference between stand-alone assisted living communities and those with multiple care options?

Tulsa assisted living communities can sometimes provide more than one type of senior living. Only four of our partners in Tulsa are designated for assisted living services only, while 13 also offer independent living and/or memory care services.[01]

Communities that provide a continuum of care services can be helpful for couples with different needs. For example, if your loved one only needs assisted living, but their spouse needs memory care, they could live on the same campus. Additionally, some of these facilities offer floor plans for couples to live together even if their care needs differ. When you tour a community, ask about options for couples to continue living together.

Will my loved one be safe in assisted living?

Assisted living facilities in Tulsa help ensure your loved one’s safety through consistent supervision from staff members who are available around the clock. Additionally, most assisted living communities prepare for emergencies with alert plans like built-in call systems, wireless pendants, or pull cords. Other security features that can benefit seniors may include the following:[01]

  • Secured entrances and exits
  • Wheelchair-accessible showers
  • Handicap-accessible buildings

How can assisted living help my loved one develop new hobbies and socialize?

Some seniors may be hesitant to move into a senior living community, so it’s essential to help your loved one understand how they can continue living a rich life in assisted living. All our Tulsa partners offer on-site activities that boost engagement and socialization. Check out some examples of such below:[01]

  • Devotional activities
  • Classes for art, cooking, education, stretching, etc.
  • Karaoke sessions
  • (Chair) Yoga exercises
  • Wii bowling games
  • Happy hours
  • Live musical, dance, or theater performances
  • Games and clubs

And, 83% of our partners schedule day trips or outings.[01]

What type of services and amenities does assisted living include?

Senior loved ones will be able to live comfortably in an assisted living community thanks to luxe amenities and services. While on-site amenities vary by facility, these are the most commonly seen comforts in Tulsa:

  • Outdoor patios and enclosed courtyards
  • Beauty salons and barbershops
  • Arts and crafts centers
  • Libraries
  • Raised garden beds

All assisted living communities provide meals, but many also offer the following features:

  • Restaurant-style dining rooms
  • Professional, chef-prepared food
  • Special dietary accommodations like low sodium, sugar-free, vegetarian, or gluten-free
  • Guest meals
