Oklahoma Home Care Services

All agencies must be licensed by the State Department of Health to do business in Oklahoma. An agency does not have to be Medicare certified unless it receives payment from Medicare. The Oklahoma Bar Association recommends that seniors should, in choosing among available home care providers, look for some of these things:

• Certification and membership: Medicare, Medicaid, the Oklahoma Association of Health Care, the Oklahoma Department of Health, the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, Home Care Association of America, National Association of Home Care;
• Reputation: references from doctors and public health workers; and,
• Personnel Standards: skill levels of employees and the process used to screen and select employees.
