I visited this facility

Bellarose was lovely. It's a new facility, but they didn't have a ground floor apartment available. The person I met with was very nice. It was a lovely facility. It was just the availability of first floor apartments is hard to come by and it was a little bit more expensive than what I'm paying now. Meals were included, and there were activities. There was a pool and a gym. The apartment size was average and there wasn't a lot of storage, but they had their own washer and dryer in each unit, which was nice. Everything was clean and new. The staff was very nice and very helpful. They weren't letting anyone in the dining room at all. I had a brief tour of the vacant apartment they had, but they were still on pretty strict lockdown. They had a pool.

We have chosen Legend at Mingo Road for my sister-in-law. I visit there a lot with friends. It has always been a warm, really pretty place. I feel my sister-in-law would be comfortable there. It's not a really big place. Nice residents. I heard the food is good. It looks like my sister-in-law is going to have a nice view. It's very small compared to what she's used to, but it's still a quiet place. I like that, too. The staff who helped me and talked to me was very nice and helpful. The building was lovely.

I went by Legend at Mingo Road when we were touring for my father-in-law's move, and the striking thing about there is walking in and going into one of the rooms to view the room it smelled heavily of urine. The facility looked great, but that aroma of urine is a quick turnoff. Because of that experience, I make sure that people know that's not a good place to go. They could've cleaned it up, and they may not always smell that way, but it sure smelled of pee when we went. The staff was friendly and positive. I even commented on it, "It smells like pee in here." They had a television room and it had books in it, but they didn't have a lot of communal gathering areas from what I saw. They did menu type style meals. The place was acceptable, but not the best.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Mom moved into here in January 2019. We're really happy with it and we like it. The room is nice, we're happy with it. We're also happy with the staff They do bingo, and things have been changed because of Covid. They used to do field trips and used to go to Walmart. I know they do have a man that comes out and plays the piano every couple of weeks. Mom enjoys that, but most of the activity she's not really able to participate in. The food is good. Some is better than others, but for the most part it's pretty good.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I moved in and will move out of The Parke Assisted Living. There was a major misunderstanding about my insurance policy, so after 2 months, I'm moving tomorrow. The staff and the food are excellent. I think the activities meet the needs of the residents. The room is excellent, it was clean, and spacious. They have an activity room, craft room, TV room, an extra dining room, and all are excellent. I felt the director, sales rep, and insurance company misrepresented my insurance to me. The parking area was sufficient. The facility was very nice.

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.

Bellarose was very nice and very clean, but it was much larger than we wanted, and there were a lot of hallways. The staff was very knowledgeable and very nice. The dining area was quite a ways from the room Dad would've been in, and it was fancier, had tablecloths, and was more like fine dining than just a regular dining room. They had quite a few activities, and I saw some of the rooms.

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.
