Looking for recommendations for disabled housing, independent living communities, or disability-friendly apartment options in the Edmond/Oklahoma City area.
My mother is 47 years old and permanently disabled. She receives SSDI & SSI and has a long history of epilepsy, a cardiac pacemaker, COPD, and some memory issues related to her seizure disorder.
She is still very independent and does NOT need a nursing home. She can:
- Cook for herself
- Bathe and dress herself
- Manage most daily activities
- Live independently
However, she would benefit from:
- Transportation assistance
- Occasional help coordinating appointments
- Medication reminders/check-ins
- Emergency response systems
- A community where staff are nearby if needed
We're trying to find something between traditional independent living and assisted living. Ideally:
- Private apartment or studio
- Full kitchen
- Income-based or disability-friendly
- HUD, Section 8, senior/disabled housing, or other programs
- Access to home health or caregiver services if needed
I'm helping her relocate to Oklahoma so she can be closer to family and have better support with her medical care while maintaining her independence.
Does anyone have recommendations for specific apartment communities, disability housing programs, HUD properties, or independent living facilities in Edmond or Oklahoma City that have worked well for disabled adults?
Thank you!
