Oklahoma Assisted Living
Oklahoma licenses two types of assisted living facilities: Assisted Living Centers, which provide personal care or medical supervision to two or more seniors, and Continuum of Care Facilities. A continuum of care facility offers more extensive nursing services in addition to either assisted living and/or adult day care. This allows seniors to transition easily from occasional assistance to permanent residency in the same familiar facility.
In Oklahoma, there are 78 Assisted Living Facilities. We can help you find the best matches for your needs. The average cost of Assisted Living in Oklahoma is $2,751 per month.

Overview of Oklahoma Assisted Living
Back to top According to Rodgers and Hammerstein’s popular song, Oklahoma is a place with “Plen’y of room to swing a rope! Plen’y of heart and plen’y of hope!” The state name means “red people” in the Choctaw language, and life in Oklahoma is still interlaced with Native American and cowboy charm. Despite its reputation for sweeping plains and big, open skies, this state also contains four beautiful mountain ranges: Ouachita, Arbuckle, Wichita and Ozark. The state’s average annual temperature is a pleasant 60.5 degrees, and residents of Oklahoma assisted living will see their dollars stretch further while residing in the state with the lowest cost of living in the country.Assisted Living in Oklahoma Defined
Back to top
Within Oklahoma statute Title 63, an “assisted living center” is defined as any home or establishment that provides services to two or more residents who are unrelated to the operator. These individuals may seek assistance with personal care or medical supervision either by choice or by necessity.
Another term used to classify establishments of assisted living in Oklahoma is “continuum of care facility.” This type of care unit is similar to a traditional nursing home in the sense that the staff are qualified to provide a higher level of medical attention than they could in an assisted living center.
A continuum of care facility must offer extensive nursing services in addition to either assisted living and/or adult day care. This type of set-up allows seniors to transition easily from occasional assistance to permanent residency, and then advance to receiving more extensive care once needed—all in the same familiar facility.Regulation of Oklahoma Assisted Living Facilities
Back to top Assisted living in Oklahoma is licensed under the Continuum Of Care And Assisted Living Act. The facilities are monitored by the Oklahoma State Board of Health. Assisted living centers and continuum of care facilities are subject to random inspections at least once every 15-month period, but these unannounced visits usually occur more frequently. A small selection of the many requirements that must be met in order for an Oklahoma assisted living facility to retain its licensure are:- Each client must have a valid Residency Agreement on file.
- All centers must employ the services of both a nurse and a dietician.
- Staff must be trained to provide quality socialization and activities to the residents.
- A minimum number of staff are required to remain on site and awake.
- Water used for bathing, cooking and laundry must be maintained at specified temperatures.
