"Why is housing designed to help older people stay in the mix becoming a priority? Two words: baby boomers."

In Oklahoma, approximately 61.4 percent of U.S. Veterans are over the age of 55. Per capita this would approximate 26,897 Veterans in Tulsa County. We want to be sure they have the community lifestyle they deserve for the life they have lived for all of us.

Several new developments make a point of mixing age groups, because who wants to enter the golden years surrounded by only old people?

We seek to provide Senior Veterans in Tulsa a connection to other Veterans through new homes and a community lifestyle.

"Veterans are most likely to trust another Veteran when it comes to health care and lethal means safety, and we know social support is a leading factor in improving treatment outcomes and reducing isolation that contributes to su***de."

For veterans who are at risk for su***de, prevention is most effective coming from people they already trust.

"The OKVA says on average 17 Veterans a day are committing su***de due to the toll it takes to return from having a role in the military. OKVA said the more social opportunities Veterans get, the more likely they are to feel supported and connected to those around them and can help them through the pain they are dealing with."

This week the Oklahoma Veteran’s Alliance is bringing attention to what they say are increasing rates of veteran su***de.

"Sen. Inhofe and his colleagues have an opportunity to make National Warrior Call Day a reality. Greater connection is what is going to turn the tide and save our nation’s bravest in Oklahoma and across the country."

"Veteran su***de is a serious problem in Oklahoma, where the state is suffering among the highest rates in the nation."
