What to Consider About Assisted Living in Owasso

Oklahoma Human Services licenses and regulates assisted living facilities in Owasso and the rest of the state. This agency publishes details about the rules residential facilities follow regarding housing requirements, meal services, care planning and staffing. It enforces these rules through an extensive licensing process and by conducting regular and unannounced inspections.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Owasso

  • Two hospitals are in Owasso, including Bailey Medical Center and Ascension St. John Owasso. These facilities provide emergency services, trauma care and inpatient and outpatient services, supporting seniors and those managing chronic health conditions. Health care costs are high at about 11% over national norms, but the high number of doctors per capita can result in low wait times when scheduling medical appointments.
  • The air quality is poor in Tulsa County, where Owasso is located, which may negatively impact the health of those with lung or heart conditions. The region gets a passing annual particle pollution score, but ratings of D for 24-hour particle and ozone pollution from the American Lung Association indicate an above-average number of high-ozone and high-particle days. To support seniors’ health and comfort, assisted living facilities have indoor recreational activities throughout the year.
  • Those aged 60 and over may be able to obtain transportation services through the local Area Agency on Aging. These transportation services can reduce seniors’ reliance on private vehicles for errands and medical appointments.
  • Owasso’s temperatures are warm in the summer and mild in the winter, with daytime highs ranging from 47 to 92 degrees. Humidity may be noticeable in July but is low throughout the rest of the year, and the city gets 42 inches of rain and just 8 inches of snow. To help residents stay comfortable, many assisted living facilities have individual thermostats in residents’ units.
  • Crime is relatively uncommon in Owasso, making retirement in this city an appealing option for active seniors. On a 100-point crime index that assigns lower values to cities with fewer reported crimes, the city rates 12 for violent crime and 26.9 for property crime. By comparison, the state scores 25.5 and 42, respectively, while national rates are 22.7 and 35.4.
  • On a 100-point cost of living index based on national norms, Owasso rates 91.7 compared to the state score of 82.2. This indicates that while living costs are high compared to the rest of Oklahoma, they’re low compared to the nation as a whole, which may benefit budget-minded older adults.
