Oklahoma’s Living Choice program gives eligible Oklahomans the opportunity to live in their own homes in a community setting while receiving the necessary services and support to meet their needs. The Medicaid program is designed to transform the current long-term care system by promoting home and community-based care instead of institutional care.
With the right support, many individuals can regain their independence as active, engaged community members. Living Choice offers various community-based services to help make the move successful.
COVERED SERVICES MAY INCLUDE:
Case management
Personal care
Prescription drugs
Self-direction services
Home-delivered meals
Adult day care
Assisted living
Skilled nursing
Transportation
Private-duty nursing
Therapy (physical, occupational and speech)
Transitional funds to help facilitate the move (one-time benefit of up to $2,400)
Additional services may be available based on need
