Seniors and Driving
New Section Added to Our Website
We have added a new section on seniors and driving to our on-line resource center. The website provides information about ways to maintain safe driving skills, signs that an older driver may no longer be able to drive safely, and what to do if you suspect a person is no longer safe to drive. There are also links to other helpful resources on seniors and driving.

How To Pay for Assisted Living?
A Few Assisted Living Facilities Now Accept Medicaid ADvantage Waiver
To qualify for the ADvantage Waiver program, residents must meet medical and financial eligibility requirements. Residents will still be responsible for some of the costs, including room and board.
You can look up ADvantage-certified facilities by county on OKDHS's website. NOTE: If there is no certified facility in the county, the database defaults to the ADvantage program's office in Tulsa. |

Advance Directives Make Great Stocking Stuffers!
Give the Gift of Health Care Planning
Many are surprised to learn that family members are not automatically allowed to make medical decisions or get information about incapacitated loved ones. Not even spouses. An Advance Directive for Health Care allows each of us to nominate loved ones to make medical decisions on our behalf if we ever become unable to make our own decisions.
The Advance Directive also gives us the opportunity to express our preferences in advance about medical treatment, particularly at the end of life. By completing an Advance Directive for Health Care, we are giving our loved ones the gift of being able to care for us when we most need them and the peace of mind that comes from honoring our known wishes.
Your Right To Decide is a free publication that walks the reader through Oklahoma's Advance Directive for Healthcare. You can download this booklet as well as the Advance Directive form from our website. Or, contact the Senior Law Resource Center to order printed copies. |
