Key takeaways

• Start with your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA). They are the state’s “no wrong door” for senior services and can help you apply for meals, transportation, in‑home help, caregiver support, and more. Use the Oklahoma AAA directory to find your local office: Oklahoma Department of Human Services AAA Directory.
• Health coverage options include Medicare, SoonerCare (Medicaid), the ADvantage Waiver (in‑home services), PACE in some areas, VA health care for veterans, and low‑cost clinics (FQHCs). Get free counseling through the Oklahoma Medicare Assistance Program (SHIP/MAP) via the Oklahoma Insurance Department.
• Rent and home help: Section 8/Housing Choice Vouchers (OHFA and local PHAs), USDA 504 Home Repair grants/loans for homeowners 62+, Weatherization Assistance, and nonprofit repair programs (e.g., Rebuilding Together OKC).
• Food support is available through SNAP, home‑delivered or congregate meals via AAAs, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (senior food boxes), Senior Farmers’ Market vouchers, and regional food banks.
• Utility and phone help: LIHEAP (heating/cooling), Weatherization, Lifeline (discounted phone/internet), and company assistance programs. Know your rights and disconnection protections through the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

Reality check: many programs have income/resource limits, waitlists, or limited funding cycles. Apply early, keep documents handy, and ask your AAA or 211 Oklahoma to help coordinate applications.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Q1: What’s the difference between Medicare and SoonerCare (Medicaid)?

• Medicare is federal health insurance mainly for people 65+. SoonerCare is Oklahoma’s Medicaid program for people with limited income/resources and can help pay Medicare costs and long‑term care. Start with Medicare.gov and the Oklahoma Medicare Assistance Program (1‑800‑763‑2828). For SoonerCare eligibility and applications, visit OHCA’s SoonerCare page.

Q2: I can’t afford rent. Where do I go first?

• Apply for Housing Choice Vouchers (OHFA or your local PHA) and ask about public housing. Use the HUD PHA Locator. Also call 211 Oklahoma to see if local charities have short‑term help while you wait.

Q3: Who brings meals to the homebound?

• Your local AAA coordinates home‑delivered meals. Find your AAA via the OKDHS AAA Directory. If there’s a waitlist, ask about temporary options through Meals on Wheels or food banks.

Q4: Can I get rides to the doctor?

• If you have SoonerCare, check SoonerRide. If not, contact your AAA and the Oklahoma Transit Association’s “Find Transit” tool for local options. Veterans should ask their VA facility about DAV vans or VA transportation.

Q9: I’m a veteran. Does the state help with benefits?

• Yes. The Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs assists with claims, benefits, and long‑term care options: ODVA Veterans Services.
