Eligibility for the ADvantage program requires that you are a resident of Oklahoma, 65 years of age or older and in frail health, or 21 years of age or older with a physical disability or developmental disability without mental retardation or a cognitive impairment. You must be at nursing home level of care and meet Medicaid financial criteria.
