One can find more information by calling their toll-free number at (800) 435-4711 or http://www.okdhs.org/services/aging/pages/faq.aspx

 

Advantage Personal Care: To be eligible for this Medicaid waiver, an applicant must be a resident of Oklahoma. Age, functional ability, income, and assets are also all qualifying criteria for the ADvantage Program. Age and functional ability are related.  Persons 21 years of age and over are eligible if the Social Security Administration designates them as disabled. Persons 65 and over do not require full disability; instead they must have a need for the level of care provided in nursing homes. The ADvantage Waiver is a SoonerCare program managed by the Aging Services Division of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services. To apply, contact your local Department of Human Services Office or call (800) 435-4711 or http://www.okdhs.org/countyoffices/Pages/default.aspx
