Case Management Options
ADvantage Case Management
In Oklahoma, individuals who meet the income and resource guidelines for Medicaid, and who medically qualify for nursing home care, are entitled to State assistance in paying for nursing home care. But, for many individuals who would prefer to continue living at home, another option is the ADvantage Program, a Medicaid Waiver Program that will pay for day, home and community-based services to help the individual in their home instead.
An ADvantage case manager works closely with each individual to determine needs and to create a care plan that may include services such as in-home skilled nursing services, homemaker/chore services, personal care, adult day services, respite care, durable medical equipment and nutritional supplements as well as incontinence, ostomy and diabetic supplies. The ADvantage case manager then stays in regular contact with the individual to monitor services and ensure that on-going needs are met.
LIFE Senior Services is an ADvantage case management provider in the following Oklahoma counties: Tulsa, Creek, Osage, Wagoner, Rogers, Okmulgee and Pawnee.

LIFE’s Independent Case Management
For seniors who would benefit from day, home and community-based services to help them stay in their homes, but who are either in the ADvantage application process or do not qualify for the ADvantage program, LIFE’s Independent Case Managers are here to help. Like ADvantage professionals, Independent Case Managers assess individual needs, create care plans and arrange for day, home and community-based services. Once services are in place and situations are stabilized, the Independent Case Manager steps out of the picture until needed again.
There is no fee for the case managers, however, the individual is responsible for any co-pays or charges for services. LIFE’s Independent Case Managers serve primarily Tulsa County.

Fee-for-Service Care Manager
There are private, fee-based case managers who coordinate day, home and community-based services to help at-risk seniors remain in their home. These services may include assessment, care coordination, care management and support services. These services can be especially helpful for long-distance caregivers when their loved ones don’t qualify for the ADvantage program.
