Homecoming Week
AAHSA's Homecoming Week is your chance to celebrate what makes your organization special.

From May 26-30, join thousands of your peers by opening your doors and inviting your neighbors and your elected officials to learn about your work and meet your community's treasures: the people you serve. Host an open house, introduce them to your residents over a meal or coordinate a staff community service project. Whatever you do, this is your chance to showcase how you make your community a better place to live.

Download the Homecoming Week Toolkit for program ideas, media outreach tips and sample materials.

Making Our Communities More Liveable for Older Oklahomans
OKAHSA is leading an advocacy initiative to ensure that programs and services for the elderly are adequately funded. Organizations across the state are encouraged to join this effort on behalf of the "Greatest Generation".

"Every year when the legislature convenes, there is one population that is noticeably absent... I am speaking of the frail elderly population in Oklahoma . They have fought our wars, nursed our sick, taught in our schools, built our roads, and have contributed so much to our state. We needed them. Now they need us... They need us to advocate for adequate funding for programs and services such as nutrition programs, transportation, adult day services and quality nursing home care."  
-- Mary Brinkley, Oklahoma Association of Homes and Services for the Aging Executive Director

 


OKAHSA's request bill, SB 1622, was signed into law by Governor Brad Henry on May 11, 2004.

 

"This measure proposes a new funding methodology that will reward nursing homes that place emphasis on the use of revenues for direct resident care."  
-- Mary Brinkley, Oklahoma Association of Homes and Services for the Aging Executive Director
