There are more ways to pay than most families realize
The government does not automatically cover senior care, but between these options, most families have real ways to make it work.
Private pay
Savings, monthly income, or proceeds from selling a home. The most flexible option.
Long-term care insurance
A policy purchased years ago can cover a lot. We help you read the fine print.
VA benefits
Wartime veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for Aid and Attendance.
Medicaid (SoonerCare)
Oklahoma's Medicaid program can help cover certain long-term care for those who qualify.
GUIDE program
A Medicare program for dementia: care navigation, caregiver support, and respite, at no cost to those eligible. We advise on how to access it, we do not run it.
Assistance programs
Smaller nonprofit and local programs that can cover pieces of the overall cost.

Common questions about senior care costs
How much does senior care cost in Tulsa?
It depends on the level and amount of care. A few hours of in-home help a week looks very different on a budget than full-time facility care. We share honest local ranges and, better yet, help you understand the real cost for your specific situation, for free.
Does Medicare pay for senior care?
Medicare covers short-term, skilled needs like a nurse or therapy after a hospital stay. It does not pay for ongoing personal care, companionship, or room and board. Those are covered through private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, Medicaid, or specific programs.
Is in-home care cheaper than assisted living?
It depends on hours. A few hours of in-home care a week usually costs far less than monthly assisted living. Once someone needs around-the-clock help at home, the cost can exceed a facility. We help you compare honest numbers.
What is the GUIDE program?
GUIDE is a Medicare program focused on supporting people living with dementia and their caregivers. Details and availability can change, so we confirm the current specifics with your family before you build a plan around it.
