CREOKS: Living Better, Longer Services
Aging brings changes to all of us, and we want to help you navigate these changes. As you age, it is important to consider and plan for these new developments. Our specialized team works with you, your loved ones and caregivers to help you know what is normal and ease any aging concerns. Studies tell us, people with positive outlooks live seven years longer than those who are more negative.
Our aging services help you determine what is aging-related and assist you to work through those obstacles. The goal is to maintain control over your independence, quality of life and dignity.
Individual & Group Therapy
Therapy is a vital tool when dealing with live changes. Whether one-one-one or in a group, find a space to work through challenges and connect with others.
Case Management
Case management helps you navigate health and social services. We work closely with your medical team and other organizations like Meals On Wheels, area agencies on aging and the Oklahoma Equality Center to create a seamless network of support for you and your family.
Medication Management
Our team, including a nurse, will review your health situation and coordinate with your medical team to alert you to any medical situations that need to be addressed.
