Adult Day appropriations
Body
Every day 100 Oklahomans turn 65 years of age or age out of services for the disabled! As our populations of seniors and those with disabilities continue to grow dramatically, we need to provide the most cost efficient and appropriate options for their care. Adult day services save our state millions of dollars by rebalancing our states aging and disabled services from institutional to home and community-based. Adult Day saves the state 61% over the daily rate of institutional and nursing home care.
