I didn't like University Village Retirement Community assisted living at all. It had an odor, the staff seemed distant, the apartments had an odor, and they only had a studio available. The people who helped us during the tour were very helpful.

My wife is in assisted living at Brookdale Tulsa South. We like it. The staff seemed nice and good. The location is fine and the grounds are pretty nice. It has a center courtyard where my wife can go and smoke. She has done Bingo and arts and crafts. Comparably, their price is very reasonable.

Review by Lawanda | Consumer

Brookdale Tulsa South is a good place for assisted living. The staff is very caring, but the place is understaffed because there are not enough people to take care of their residents. The grounds are beautiful, and their smallest room is really nice with a big walk-in closet and a nice-sized bathroom.

Brookdale Tulsa South was a fine, much smaller place. We saw a studio and a one-bedroom with a living room. There wasn't much light, and it's only in the bedroom, not in the living area. They had about 43 residents, and the staff was very helpful.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Tulsa

Medicaid in Oklahoma

The national Medicaid program provides medical insurance to Americans who meet income and asset guidelines. Funding for this program comes from federal and state sources, and Oklahoma’s Medicaid program, SoonerCare, is administered by the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA).

To be eligible for SoonerCare, applicants must meet income and financial resource criteria. Due to enrollment caps placed on this program, seniors may be placed on a waiting list after their application is approved.

Seniors seeking assisted living arrangements can apply for the state’s Medicaid Waivers/Home and Community Based Services program. To be eligible, an individual’s income can’t exceed $2,313 per month. For married couples, the limit is $4,500. The program also has an asset limit of $2,000 for individual applicants and $4,000 for married couples.

If only one spouse is applying, the applicant must meet the individual financial guidelines. But, there is an income disregard allowed to cover living expenses for the non-applicant spouse, who can also have up to $126,420 in assets. 

Countable assets include bank accounts, second homes, cash, investments, stocks and bonds. Other assets, such as personal belongings, one vehicle, burial trusts, household furnishings and a primary home, are exempt. The home’s value must be $585,000 or less.

There are two Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) waivers available under SoonerCare to aid seniors who wish to remain in their community.

  • ADvantage: Available to seniors at least 65 years of age with physical disabilities that would require nursing home care
  • Medically Fragile: Available to anyone who would otherwise require hospitalization or nursing home placement

Additional information about the SoonerCare program and HCBS waivers can be obtained by contacting the OHCA SoonerCare Helpline at (800) 987-7767.

Other Financial Assistance Programs for Assisted Living

SSI State Supplement

Oklahoma offers SSI State Supplemental payments to those in assisted living facilities who are at least 65 years old and are unable to live independently due to age-related health concerns or disabilities. Cash payments are given monthly and can be applied toward room-and-board expenses. Individuals can receive a maximum of $42 per month, and couples receive up to $84. Maximum allowances increase if a senior is eligible for federal funds as well. To find out more, contact the Oklahoma Department of Human Services at (877) 751-2972.

Veterans Aid and Attendance Benefits

Oklahoma veterans, and their surviving spouses, over the age of 65 who are eligible for a pension may apply for Aid and Attendance benefits to add to their monthly payments if they require assistance with activities of daily living. Eligible veterans can receive benefits of up to $1,881 per month; married couples receive up to $2,230, and surviving spouses receive up to $1,210. For more details on this program, contact the regional VA benefit office at (800) 827-1000.

Assisted Living Bridge Loans

Seniors who are ready to make the move into an assisted living facility but don’t have the funds to cover initial expenses can apply for an assisted living bridge loan from Elderlife Financial Services. These loans generally have short terms of up to 12 months and offer a solution for those waiting on benefit payouts or funds from the sale of a home. If approved, seniors can receive their money as one lump sum or as a line of credit in as little as 24 hours. The loan is subject to credit approval, but multiple co-borrowers are accepted, even if they are not related to the primary applicant. To learn more or start an application, call Elderlife Financial Services at (888) 228-4500.
