How Oklahoma regulates assisted livings

In Oklahoma, assisted living is licensed by OSDH (the Long Term Care Service) under Title 63 O.S. §1-890.1 (the Continuum of Care & Assisted Living Act) and OAC 310:663. A facility's license can include endorsements — such as memory care — that let residents stay as needs increase. Always verify the exact license and endorsements; they determine how long your parent can remain as care needs grow.

How to evaluate Arbor House Assisted Living of Mustang

The strongest signals of quality at an assisted living community are staffing and transparency, not amenities. Find out the awake-overnight staffing level, the caregiver turnover rate, and the tenure of key leaders. Ask for an itemized, all-in monthly cost for your parent's specific care level, and what triggers a move to a higher (more expensive) tier. Probe how the community handles a decline — a fall, new incontinence, or memory changes — and how it communicates with families. Visit more than once, unannounced, at different times of day, and check the OSDH inspection and enforcement history on the oklahoma.gov/health lookup for a pattern of repeat deficiencies before you commit.

Is Arbor House Assisted Living of Mustang the right fit?

Arbor House Assisted Living of Mustang is licensed for this level of care in Mustang; whether it's right for your parent depends on their specific needs, budget, and preferences.

Common questions about Arbor House Assisted Living of Mustang

How Mustang families actually pay for care

Very few families cover senior care from a single source. In Mustang, the typical plan layers several of these, often shifting over a multi-year stay:

1. Personal savings & Social Security. Most Oklahoma City metro families self-fund the first 12–24 months from savings, pensions, and monthly Social Security before tapping other sources.
2. Long-term-care insurance. If a policy is in force, it can cover a large share of assisted living or home care — check the elimination period and daily benefit cap. Oklahoma's Oklahoma long-term care planning also provides a state long-term-care benefit for eligible workers.
3. VA Aid & Attendance. Eligible wartime veterans and surviving spouses can receive roughly $1,800–$2,900/month toward care — a major lever in a metro served by the Oklahoma City VA Health Care System (Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center).
4. SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid) long-term care. Oklahoma's SoonerCare long-term care — delivered in the community through the ADvantage Waiver, administered by OSDH Home and Community Services — covers personal care and many community-based services for those who qualify by income and assets. Residential care homes are a common low-cost, Medicaid-contracted setting.
5. Home equity. Selling the family home or a reverse mortgage frequently funds sustained care once a parent has moved.
6. Family cost-sharing. Siblings often split the monthly gap; a written agreement keeps it fair and durable.

Because Mustang assisted living can run into the thousands per month, mapping the funding plan early — before a crisis — often saves a family tens of thousands of dollars. A free local advisor can tell you which of these you qualify for and which Mustang providers accept SoonerCare (the ADvantage Waiver).
