Assisted living in Oklahoma
218 licensed communities · 208 have an inspection or enforcement document on file. Listed alphabetically — Oklahoma State Dept. of Health publishes no severity, so there is nothing here to rank by.
This state publishes the document, not the severity.
Oklahoma State Dept. of Health posts that it issued a statement of deficiency or an enforcement action, but not how serious the finding was — and a statement of deficiency can be anything from a forced medication pass to a missing signature. So nothing below is marked a serious violation, and nothing below is ranked: we list alphabetically. More paperwork on file is not the same as being worse, and ordering these communities by how thick their file is would be our guess at severity dressed up as the state’s finding. Open a community’s state report to read the actual citation.
What Oklahoma licenses — and why this total isn’t comparable to another state’s
There is no national definition of “assisted living.” Each state decides what it licenses and what to call it, so a state total counts whatever that state chose to license — state counts on this site are not comparable to each other, and a bigger number does not mean more assisted living. Here that total is:
- 189 ALC
- 29 RCH
17 of these (7%) are licensed for 6 beds or fewer — residential homes rather than the apartment-style communities most families picture. They are real licensed care and we list them, but filter by beds if that is not what you are looking for.
Memory care isn’t marked here — because the state doesn’t publish it.
Oklahoma State Dept. of Health’s licensing file carries no memory-care or dementia-unit designation, so we cannot tell you which of these communities has one. There certainly are memory-care communities in this state — we just have no authoritative list of them, and we won’t guess from a community’s name. Ask any community directly whether it runs a secured dementia unit, and ask your Long-Term Care Ombudsman ↗ which local communities take dementia residents.
Median private-pay cost, CareScout (Genworth) 2025 Cost of Care Survey — a regional midpoint, not any single community’s rate. Private rooms and higher care levels cost more; ask for a current quote. Project your own in the cost-of-care planner.
† Memory care is our estimate, not survey data: CareScout does not survey memory care, so we take the assisted-living median for the state and add $1,200/month — the typical secured-dementia-unit premium. It is a planning figure with no state-level detail behind it, and real memory-care pricing varies far more than that. Treat it as a starting point and ask the community for its own memory-care rate.
Estimated cost range · regional
In Oklahoma, assisted living typically runs about $4,900–$7,400/month.
This is a regional estimate modeled from published survey data (the CareScout/Genworth state median, ±20%) — not this community’s actual price, which it sets privately. Ask the community for its current all-in monthly rate and what each care level adds.
Paying with Medicaid
Oklahoma Medicaid helps pay for assisted living only in limited circumstances — through a waiver, and not everywhere in the state or for everyone who qualifies.
The Oklahoma waiver that can pay for it:
- ADvantage Waiver Program — covers in-home personal care / adult day / assisted living / respite
In Oklahoma: apply or check eligibility ↗ or call 1-877-751-2972.
A waiver pays for care, not for rent. Even where the state covers assisted-living services, room and board is still the resident’s to pay. Full eligibility limits — income, assets, the look-back — are on our Oklahoma Medicaid page.
