Alzheimer's Disease or Related Disorders Special Care Disclosure

Before a long term care facility may offer care or treatment as a special care provider, each provider shall file a standardized disclosure form with the Department. The law and rule provide for the disclosure of information on special care provided to persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders at facilities, homes and centers licensed by the Oklahoma State Department of Health. The rule is authorized under the Alzheimer’s Disease Special Care Disclosure Act linked below. (63 O.S. Supp. 1998, Section 1-879.2a et seq.)

A "Special care provider" means a provider that advertises, markets, or otherwise promotes itself as providing care or treatment to persons with Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders in a special unit or under a special program. [63 O.S. § 1-879.2c]

The Health Facility Systems staff receives and processes disclosure forms. For a list of facilities that have applied to offer care or treatment as a special care provider see the Directory of Long Term Care Facilities.
