There comes a time in our lives when parents or grandparents become more than we can handle. Sad but one of life’s situations that we pray never happens to us. Oklahoma Department of Veteran Affairs has seven State Veterans Homes in Ardmore, Claremore, Clinton, Lawton, Norman, Sulphur and Sallisaw. We spoke with Candice McIntire of the ODVA, and she said that veterans can enroll early because if they wait it could be a hardship on the family and by pre-enrolling can be placed on the inactive waiting list. The Veterans Homes, according to Tracy Wilkinson in Norman, have two waiting lists for admission to the nursing home, one an active waiting list for veterans that need to be admitted when possible and an inactive waiting list of veterans who may or may not need a nursing home in the future. Being on the inactive waiting list does not insure a room but most of the paperwork is completed. Visit oklahoma.gov/veterans.html or call Candice McIntire at 405-523-4092 for more information.
