Letter from the Publisher
Dear Readers,From our family to yours, thank you for picking up your copy of Retirement Connection and sharing this resource with your family and friends. We are a small family business and we greatly appreciate your support and valuable feedback. Together with the local hospitals, healthcare providers, area agencies on aging and disability offices we are able to provide the most comprehensive resource for Southern Oregon.
We are honored to be the “official resource” for The Alzheimer's Association of Oregon, Asante Medical Centers, and the ADRC of Jackson and Josephine Counties. We also partnered with CHI Mercy Medical Center and UCAN for increased distribution in Douglas County.
Due to the support of our sponsors, Retirement Connection is available and free to the community. Please return the favor by supporting them when you find a need for their services.
Our goal is to be the most comprehensive local resource for the community and local providers. The table of contents covers more than 100 topics of information. Please view page 10 for a quick reference on how to best use this guide. The Caregiver Checklist and Information Request Form are available to provide ongoing support. Visit www.RetirementConnection.com for event calendars, a thorough glossary of terms, additional articles, and links to
local provider emails and websites. We will also continue to update the website daily with new listings or changing information. Any updates made after the print date may be seen at RetirementConnection.com/updates.
Additional copies of the guide may be found at Area Agency on Aging offices, Libraries, Senior Centers, Hospitals, Housing Communities, and local events. We have printed 50,000 total copies of this annual publication. If your physician’s office, church, or other organization would like additional copies, we are happy to provide these at no cost. Please call us, visit our website or email us at [email protected] to order additional copies.

Caregiving as an Encore Career Reaching retirement age has a whole new meaning for today’s growing number of baby boomers. They are embarking on second careers that are not only about making a living but making a difference.
Known as an encore career, this second vocation strives to combine a paycheck and a sense of purpose for adults after retirement that have a passion for working with public service. It turns out many who are starting their “second act” are doing so not necessarily because they want to do something new, but because they want to do something that matters. Encore careers are on the rise because:
Americans are living longer and thereby working longer
The employment picture for baby boomers is slowly improving
These jobs fulfill a passion with a social purpose and are not really a necessity
Boomers don’t want to outlive their retirement savings
Boomers are interested in volunteering or mentoring others
Boomers need the additional income
Boomers just want to continue working
Boomers want to make a difference in the lives of others
While encore careers are available in a variety of sectors, homecare is one of the more popular options among seniors because it’s rewarding and allows them to open up and work with people their own age. While family caregivers do their best to care for their loved ones, accepting help
is easier for those when their caregiver or companion is someone to whom they can relate to and who understands the desire to remain independent.
Here are a few ways to tell if caregiving is right for you:
You enjoy working with people, especially older adults where you can interact one-on-one.
You’ve enjoyed taking care of members of your family and want to share this passion.
You have the potential of making a difference in someone’s life.
You don’t want a desk job, and you are still physically and mentally able to work.
You know you would want the same type of care if you needed it.
You take pride in your work and pay attention to details.
In-home caregiving requires a variety of unique skills, but the benefits are plenty:
Hours are usually flexible, and you may work as few as 10 hours a week to as many as 40 hours.
You’ll develop personal, long-lasting relationships with your clients.
You can truly make a difference in the lives of others.

The Alzheimer’s Association is here to help you any time. If you or a loved one needs resources or support, call our 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900. We also offer many web-based services you can access whenever and wherever it is most convenient for you.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiver Center (alz.org/care)
Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s often involves a team of people, and no matter your role, there is much to do and plenty to know. But it doesn’t have to be a lot of work to find the resources and support you need. The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiver Center can help. While there, be sure to check out the Community Resource Finder and the Care Team Calendar.
ALZConnected (www.alzconnected.org)
This online social networking community is designed specifically for people with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers. Members can connect and communicate with people who understand their unique challenges. They can also pose questions and offer solutions to dementia-related issues, create public and private groups organized around a dedicated topic and contribute to message boards.
Alzheimer’s Navigator (www.alzheimersnavigator.org)
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease raises many questions. Alzheimer’s Navigator helps guide you to answers by creating a customized action plan and linking to information, support and local resources. Depending on the needs of the user, specific action steps are created for the following areas: planning for the
future, working with doctors/health care professionals, caregiver support, activities of daily living, home safety, driving and knowledge of Alzheimer’s.
E-learning (elearning.alz.org)
The Alzheimer’s Association Oregon Chapter offers classes every quarter throughout the state, and some of our classes are also offered online — and are available 24/7.
“I Have Alzheimer’s” (alz.org/IHaveAlz)
“I Have Alzheimer’s” is a section of the Alzheimer’s Association’s website created with input from individuals living with the disease. It is easy to navigate and helps answers many questions, including:
How do others respond to their diagnosis?
What should I expect as the disease progresses?
How should I plan for my future?
How do I live day to day?
What resources are available through the Alzheimer’s Association?
This comprehensive website offers information and advice for people in the early stage of the disease. We encourage users to take their time and digest the content at a comfortable pace. They can return as often as needed; we’re always here to help.

Thorough and careful pre-planning for your funeral, memorial service, cemetery and end-of life choices gives you enhanced peace of mind knowing there will be adequate funds to cover funeral expenses and that your wishes, beliefs, and preferences will be met. There are many benefits of pre-planning and we have covered a few below.
Locking In Costs vsInflated Costs:Pre-planning and pre-funding generally ensures that your funeral and cemetery arrangements are completely paid for at today’s prices. The funeral and cemetery industry faces inflation, which drives costs up each year. National statistics show that cemetery and funeral costs are expected to double every 7-10 years. By pre-planning, you lock in today’s cost rather than forcing your family to pay inflated costs upon your passing.
Making Rational Decisions Together vs Emotional Decisions Alone:Making these decisions ahead of time allows for more careful consideration of all the options in choosing the funeral and cemetery arrangements that are right for you and your family. Statistics show that more often than not, a widow is left to make these decisions in the worst time of his or her life, upon the loss of their best friend and life partner. These are not times that anyone should be making any kind of financial decision.
Telling Your Own Story vs Someone Telling It For You:Thoughtful pre-planning of your arrangements allows you to make choice based on your preferences. Making your wishes known in advance will reduce the number of decisions that your loved ones will have to make and may help make this time of loss less stressful.
Pay As Affordable vs Cash Up Front:Many people assume that savings or life insurance policies will cover the costs of one’s funeral and burial, but when a death occurs, these costs must be paid up front before services are rendered. Pre-planning allows you to pay as affordable with terms to meet your budget verses your family having to pay the entire amount at the time of your passing.
Peace of Mind:Knowing that all of your affairs are in order will give your loved ones peace of mind. This peace of mind is the greatest gift of love you can provide your family.
Pre-planning can ease the burden for surviving family and friends eliminating the added stress of indecision and uncertainty when death occurs. Advance planning is easier, it’s kinder and it is always more economical.

Hearing Impairment is Not a Benign ConditionWe all instinctively know hearing impairment is not a benign condition. When a child or adolescent is diagnosed with even a mild hearing loss there are multiple programs that can help them get hearing aids – we value their hearing. We all know how important it is for them to be able to hear as well as possible so they can function at their fullest potential, at school, work, and in relationships.
Yet for some reason, when adults have a hearing loss many people seem to think that it’s nothing to worry about. Most people seem to think that it’s okay to just live with the impairment. However, untreated hearing impairment can have serious consequences.
Hearing impairment contributes to:
Social isolation
Depression and anxiety
Increased hospitalization
A decline in physical functioning
An increase in falls - a mild loss = 3 times more likely to have a history of falling
Cognitive decline
Early death
Hearing impairment does not primarily affect the elderly. The majority of people, 50% of women and 64% of men, start to perceive hearing impairment between the ages of 20 to 59 (20% of females and 17% of males are identified as having
impairment before the age of 20). And 12% of adults between the ages of 21 – 84 have hearing difficulties even though they have normal pure tone test results. Because we associate hearing loss with old age most people put off dealing with hearing impairment thinking they aren’t “old” enough to have hearing aids. Imagine what would happen if people still thought this way about glasses. Most people think hearing aids just aren’t worth the costs. Hearing loss is usually ignored for years and by the time it is dealt with there are often irreversible complications such as treatment options are limited yet more costly, and outcomes are less satisfactory.
Hearing impairment is a disease state and not a benign condition. Early diagnosis and treatment of hearing impairment is an important part of limiting its effects upon our mental, emotional, and physical health as well as upon our work and relationships. We need to stop ignoring hearing impairment.

ces What is a LTACH
(Long Term Acute Care Hospital)?Long Term Acute Care Hospitals (LTACH) are designed to care for critically ill and medically complex patients who require several weeks in a hospital setting. Typical patients have multiple co-morbidities, multi-organ system failure, and significant loss of independence following a traditional hospital stay. Specialty programs include: Complex Respiratory and Ventilator Weaning, Medically Complex Conditions and Extensive Complex Wound Care managed by our Board Certified Specialty Physicians.
Our Complex Respiratory and Ventilator Weaning Programs are managed by our Pulmonologists and partners from The Oregon Clinic. Designed to address the needs of patients during and after mechanical and non-invasive ventilation, our program works to ensure that each patient achieves their fullest recovery potential. Our highly skilled treatment teams are led by the Pulmonologist working in conjunction with our Hospitalists and ACLS-certified Nurses and Respiratory Therapists. With a commitment to identifying and maintaining best clinical practices, our program is specialized in the treatment of Respiratory Failure, CHF and COPD exacerbations, Pneumonia, Emphysema and Respiratory conditions with high oxygen needs.
Our Complex Wound Care Program is designed and staffed to treat medically complex patients with a broad range of
complex wounds. Using a multidisciplinary approach our Hospitalist and Specialty Surgeons work with our Wound Care Certified Nurses and Dieticians to conduct a complete diagnostic assessment of each patient before developing an individualized plan of care. We specialize in the treatment of: Post-Surgical Wounds, Stage III and IV Pressure Ulcers, Vascular Ulcers, Fistulas, Wound Dehiscence, Complex Ostomies and Wound Debridement.
We specialize in aggressive goal-directed care that requires an Interdisciplinary Team approach to care and recovery. This team includes Hospitalists who assess patients daily, Specialty Physicians, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Pharmacists, Nutritionists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Language Pathologists, and Case Management. This collaborative team coordinates care so each patient has the best individual outcome.
Some of our specialty services include: 24/7 coverage by Hospitalists, Pulmonologists onsite 5 days/week and on-call 24/7, Consulting Physicians include Surgeons, Infectious Disease and Nephrologists. We offer Cardiac Care and Telemetry Monitoring, Specialized Post-Surgical Care, onsite Chronic and Acute Hemodialysis, onsite Pharmacy, Laboratory and Radiology Services.

People get reverse mortgages for all kinds of different reasons. Part of their overall financial plan is they no longer want to make a monthly mortgage payment, or they want to create additional cash flow or pay off debts. The reasons to get a reverse mortgage are as diverse as the people getting them. Yet there are countless people that could benefit tremendously from a reverse mortgage but won’t even consider it because of these common misunderstandings.
Misunderstanding: You Must Give Your Home's To The Bank.
You remain fully vested on the title, not the bank. You are in full control and can sell or refinance your home.
Misunderstanding: The Bank Gets The Home When You Die.
The home will go to the estate. The estate will determine what to do with the home. Any remaining equity from the sale of the home goes to the estate.
Misunderstanding: You Can Outlive A Reverse Mortgage.
There is no term on a reverse mortgage or any balloon payments. The loan is active as long as you are living and the home is your primary residence.
Misunderstanding: I Could Owe More Than My Home Is Worth.
You can never owe more than what your home is worth. The FHA reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan, which means, if the loan amount exceeded the home’s value, you, your heirs or your estate are not liable. The most you can ever owe is what the home is worth.
Misunderstanding: You Should Only Get A Reverse Mortgage If You Are Desperate.
In the past, reverse mortgages attracted the stigma that only desperate homeowners would get a reverse loan. Today’s senior homeowners are seeing the value that a reverse mortgage brings to their lives not only from a financial perspective but also in an increased quality of life.
Misunderstanding: You Need To Own Your Home Free And Clear In Order To Qualify.
You do not need to own your home free and clear in order to get a reverse mortgage. Many people get a reverse mortgage to pay off their current mortgage and free up monthly cash flow.
Misunderstanding: I May Lose Social Security Or Medicare Benefits.
A reverse mortgage does not affect Social Security or Medicare because the proceeds are a loan, not income. Some need based programs such as Medicaid may be affected.
Misunderstanding: I Can’t Use The Money The Way I Want To.
It is your money and you can use in any way you see fit. You could purchase long- term care or life insurance, supplement your income, pay for in-home care, pay your grandchildren’s education, remodel, or upgrade your home or anything else that makes sense to you.

Retina Specialists & Diabetic RetinopathyAn ophthalmologist is a physician and surgeon trained to manage diseases of the eye. Many of us are familiar with ophthalmologists as they perform cataract surgeries. There are also ophthalmologists who choose to subspecialize in the field of Retina. These Retina Specialists manage medical and surgical diseases of the retina, a light-sensitive tissue lining the inner back wall of the eye. They specialize in conditions such as Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and retinal arterial occlusions. They also specialize in surgical repair of the retina such as in retinal detachments and macular holes.
In the U.S., Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults. About 40-45% of adults with diabetes over the age of 40 will have some level of Diabetic Retinopathy. With the current epidemic of Diabetes, it’s important to understand the potential impact on the retina and ultimately, a person’s sight.
The retina is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It captures light entering the eye and transforms it into electrical signals. These signals travel through the optic nerve and are interpreted by the brain. Within the retina lies a rich supply of blood vessels that are susceptible to damage from high glucose levels. Over time, this damage may result in leaky blood vessels that cause retinal swelling and result in blurry vision. Sometimes the blood vessels close off completely, starving the retina of oxygen. The damaged retina will then release growth factors to
stimulate the growth of new blood vessels. Unfortunately, these new vessels are fragile, leaky and often rupture, bleeding inside the eye. They may also result in scar tissue formation that contracts, pulling the retina off the back of the eye (retinal detachment). These changes constitute varying levels of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Today Retina Specialists use multiple methods to manage Diabetic Retinopathy. For many patients, eye injections of medications that stop the production of growth factors work well. Sometimes a laser is used to target leaky blood vessels or destroy a dysfunctional retina. Patients with more advanced Diabetic Retinopathy may require surgery to remove blood or scar tissue inside the eye.
The key to avoiding these problems is maintaining regular visits with a physician to ensure adequate blood sugar and blood pressure control. A healthy diet, regular physical activity, and weight management play crucial roles as well. Smoking should be avoided at all costs. Regular screening or follow-up visits with an ophthalmologist or Retina Specialist are important in preventing vision loss. With a direct view of the retina’s health, your eye care specialist and you can work together to preserve your vision.

There comes a time for many seniors when they need or want more care than they can receive at home. It can be overwhelming for many to know “Where do I start?”
Here Are 5 Factors To Consider:
1. Needs: Independent Living may be the right option if your loved one needs assistance with meals, housekeeping, transportation and activities. If your loved one needs help with medications, bathing, dressing, transferring or toileting an Assisted Living Community provides 24/7 care. If your loved one’s dementia has progressed to the point of wandering or exit seeking a secured memory care community is safest.
2. Preferences: This includes the style or aesthetics of a community–how does it look and feel? Would your loved one enjoy a newer or established community? Does your loved one desire a studio, one bedroom or, two-bedroom apartment? Also, would your loved one enjoy a more intimate community of 35-100 residents or would they prefer a larger setting of 100+ residents? Or perhaps a smaller Foster Care Home setting of 5 total residents might be a good fit if your loved one is not all that social and does not have any night- time care needs.
3. Wants: Does your loved one like to attend or be a part of social events? If so, what hobbies, events, or shopping would they like to be a part of? Determining
how someone would enjoy day to day engagement goes a long way towards a successful move. There are many communities that offer a variety of entertainment options. If your loved one is more reclusive, there will also be many communities willing to accommodate a quieter lifestyle.
4. Finances: Based on what’s included in the rent, what is affordable with one’s income and assets? If I outlive my assets will I be able to remain in the community I move into? Do I qualify for VA or Medicaid and what do I need to do to apply?
5. Location: Based on the 4 factors above, how far from my ideal location would I or my loved ones be willing to consider potential communities? Many times this becomes the most critical element in choosing an option.
Once these factors are determined, it would be helpful to have a Senior Living Advisor inform you of which options fit your criteria. A Senior Living Advisor will also be able to assist you with touring, paperwork and other resources surrounding a transition in addition to narrowing down the best options to consider.

g Housing Definitions:
Adult Day Care Programs offer a protective setting during the day, for those who cannot be left alone due to health care and social needs. The structured program within a community setting offers: socialization, planned activities, care services, companionship and meals. Adult Day Care provides daytime respite for the caregiver who typically works, needs time for other responsibilities, or simply to take a break. Some programs are designed for older adults with dementia and/or physical limitations. Day Care programs in senior housing communities that are listed in this guide must be able to accept non-residents to be included.
Adult Care Homes or Foster Care Homes are private residences that provide a home-like setting, and serve 6 or less residents. The caregiver may perform several functions, such as personal care, housekeeping and activities and group meals. There are three levels of Adult Foster Care Home licenses. The classification system is based on the level of care the Adult Foster Home may provide to residents who live in the home as well as the experience and training of the providers and their ability to assist residents with: personal hygiene, mobility, eating, dressing, toileting, and behavior management. Residents may require very light assistance or may be dependent with several care needs; it is best to ask individual locations for their specific policies and license.
Assisted Living Communities are State-regulated rental properties where six or more residents may reside. Care assistance is available, including: medication management, bathing, dressing, toileting and eating. Some may be fully self-contained private living units with a lockable door, private bathroom, and kitchenette facilities. Accommodations are typically in a home-like setting and may range from a shared bedroom with common bathroom, to private apartments with kitchenette and private bathroom. The fee schedule is regular monthly rent along with additional fees for specific services and amenities. Assisted living communities are best suited for individuals who want to remain as independent as possible and who are able to direct their own care. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the level of care provided and the size and amenities of each apartment.
CCRCs (Continuing Care Retirement Communities) also known as Life Plan Communities, include a continuum of care from independent living, assisted living, residential care and skilled nursing services all on one campus, allowing individuals to live within the same community as their needs progress through the spectrum of care. They typically offer the full selection of amenities associated with retirement living. An endowment fee in addition to a monthly maintenance fee can be expected.

Independent Living Communities provide residents an independent living setting without the burden of home ownership. Typically, residency is established on a monthly rental basis. Residents live in fully equipped private apartments or cottages from studios to large two-bedroom units that may be rental-assisted or market-rate depending on the community. Amenities and hospitality services such as housekeeping, linen service, transportation and social and recreational activities may be included, provided for an additional charge, or may not be available at all. These communities do not provide assistance with activities of daily living or personal care.
Memory Care or Dementia Communities offer or provide care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia in a home-like environment. These communities must receive an endorsement and are governed by additional regulations that are specifically intended to support individuals with dementia, including: a secure building that alerts staff if a resident has exited, a secure outdoor area that provides outdoor freedom safely, interior finishes that are non-glare and well lit, and visual contrasts between floors, walls and doorways. Alzheimer’s units must also have programs, which include: gross motor, self care, social, craft, sensory enhancement and outdoor activities.
Rehabilitation & Therapy is treatment for an injury, illness, or pain with the goal of restoring function, including nursing and therapy services. Rehab is ordered by a physician and services are provided by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Examples include working with a physical therapist to help you walk and with an occupational therapist to help you get dressed.
Respite Care is short term relief for family caregivers to take a break from the caregiving responsibilities and allows for a healthier and better quality of life for both the caregiver and care receiver. Respite services include: companionship, personal care, recreational activities and security. Respite care can be provided as short stay or for a longer period that allows the family caregiver to go on vacation or a business trip. Longer duration respite care is generally found at select senior housing communities although some Companion services may provide this service in the home.
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or Nursing Homes are State licensed facilities that provide a safe, therapeutic environment for individuals who require rehabilitative care or can no longer live independently due to functional or cognitive impairment. Nursing Homes offer 24-hour skilled nursing care and medical services by registered nurses and support professionals. This is the highest level of care that can be provided that is not hospitalization. Additionally, nursing facilities offer residents planned social, recreational and spiritual activities. Nursing facilities are most appropriate for people who need 24-hour medical oversight and a protective/structured setting. Most residents must share their room, but residents are allowed to bring personal items to encourage a more home-like atmosphere.

g Making a Difference at Any AgeIt is never easy in life to make a transition from one home to another and making the decision to move to an active living or assisted living community can be even more challenging. One of the primary concerns seniors have about moving into an active or assisted living community is that they’ll become disconnected from the community, activities, and causes they care about most. However, active and assisted living communities provide the perfect setting for building coalitions, forming outreach taskforces, and planning benefits for the communities and the causes that matter to you.
It is extremely important for all of us to remain connected to the people, communities, traditions, and causes that we each find most important to us. This could be anything from volunteering at your local church or food bank to organizing fundraisers for local causes, the options really are limitless. One of our favorite residents reads books to kindergarten children at a local school every week – fantastic intergenerational work! If you are someone who is heavily engaged in your local community and causes and if you’re also considering retirement or assisted living, we recommend looking into active living communities that encourage
engagement and foster socially responsible outreach and activities. The right active lifestyle community for you should offer you plenty of opportunities to stay involved with your community and the causes that matter most to you. When individuals strive for something bigger than themselves it builds self-worth and creates senior leaders and advocates who make invaluable contributions to their surrounding communities.
All of us can deeply improve our quality of life by volunteering. Studies have shown that volunteerism can contribute to living longer and that it improves overall brain function. All ages benefit from this approach, not to mention active volunteering can be a great exercise too! So, it turns out that volunteering is not only the socially responsible thing to do, but it’s actually mentally and physically good for you, not to mention it’s great for your community as well.

If you are taking responsibility for helping an aging relative get through the day, you may be shouldering a larger burden than you realize. Many caregivers don’t stop to consider the personal, financial and emotional costs of caring for a loved one. New research is bringing those costs to light.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 44 million Americans provide unpaid care for a parent or other adult, and these caregivers report higher levels of stress, depression, heart disease and diabetes than the population at large. They are also at higher risk for catching the flu or a cold.
Caregiving also exacts a toll on the workplace. Fifty-seven percent of caretakers work outside the home, and studies show a majority of those workers take at least some time off, with many reducing hours at work or having to quit altogether in order to provide care for a loved one. One study estimated that working caregivers lose a lifetime average of $303,880 in lost wages, benefits and retirement contributions.
Other studies show that what matters most to caregivers is lost time. Time spent providing care is often time that can’t be spent with your spouse or children, with friends, volunteering, attending church or relaxing.
If the hidden costs of caregiving are taking a toll on you and your family then you may reach a point when you should seek additional caregiver assistance. Remember, there are many options available ranging from in-home care to retirement and independent living, to assisted living, to skilled nursing homes.
The earlier you begin to explore your options, the easier it is to understand your choices and make the best-informed decisions. As you explore housing options, think about your loved one's current and future needs. Is your parent healthy, or managing a chronic condition that could require special care?

Licensing requirements for assisted living facilities vary by state and can be known by as many as 26 different names including: residential care, board and care, congregate care, and personal care. A complete list of each state’s terminology and state regulations can be found at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/reports/04alcom.htm
Choosing A Community
A good match between a community and a resident’s needs depends as much on the philosophy and services as it does on the quality of care.
The following suggestions can help you get started in your search for a safe and appropriate assisted living community:
• What are your future needs and how will the community meet those needs?
• Is the community close to family and friends? Are there any shopping centers or other businesses nearby (within walking distance)?
• Visit each community more than once, sometimes unannounced.
• Visit at meal times, sample the food, and observe the quality.
• Observe interactions among residents and staff and ask questions.
• Ask about social, recreational, and spiritual activities.
• Ask about the type and frequency of staff trainings.
• Review state licensing reports.
These Steps Should Also Be Considered:
• Contact your state’s long-term care ombudsman to see if any complaints have been filed against the assisted living community you are interested in. In many states, the ombudsman checks on conditions at assisted living units and nursing homes.
• If the assisted living community is connected to a nursing home, ask for information about it too. (Information on nursing homes can be found on the Medicare website at http://www.medicare.gov/nhcompare/home.asp).
It is a good idea to review The Substantiated Facility Abuse Complaints at https://apps.dhs.state.or.us/cf2/spd/facility_complaints/ This website contains Facility Adult Protective Services (APS) investigations that constitute abuse as determined by Corrective Action Coordinators.

Adult foster homes are inspected and licensed single family residences that offer care in a homelike setting with 5 or less residents. Adult foster care is often chosen by consumers because care is provided in a homelike setting and can be more affordable than other care facilities. Informal adult foster care has been a part of our society for years.
Some providers are able to provide more complex care because of their training and experience and/or help from visiting nurses. A caregiver may receive instruction from a registered nurse to perform a care task specific to a particular resident. Some providers may be able to meet your care needs if you are coming to the adult foster home directly from the hospital after surgery or you are recovering from a serious illness. Other adult foster home providers have special training to provide care for people with Alzheimer’s disease, brain injuries, AIDS, respiratory failure, or the need for hospice services.
Some Things To Keep In Mind While Visiting The Homes Are:
Who provides care in the home: Does the owner live in the home, or is there a Resident Manager who lives in the home and is the main caregiver?
What are the schedules and/or routines of the home?
What are the care needs of the other residents?
Would you feel comfortable living with the other residents and caregivers in the home?
How do residents interact with one another?
Adult Foster Home Classifications
There are three classifications of adult foster home licenses in Oregon. The classifications are based on the experience and/or training of the provider. Each home has a license posted that indicates the classification of the home.
1. A licensee with a Class 1 license may only admit residents who need assistance in no more than four activities of daily living (ADLs).
2. A licensee with a Class 2 license may provide care for residents who require assistance in all activities of daily living, but require full assistance in no more than three activities of daily living.
3. A licensee with a Class 3 license may provide care for residents who require full assistance in four or more activities of daily living.
In each classification, the provider can only admit residents with a certain number of impairments. These impairments are defined according to six major activities of daily living (ADLs). These are eating/nutrition, dressing, personal hygiene, mobility, toileting and behavior management.
Adult Foster Home Lists
You can find adult foster homes with vacancies matching criteria you specify at www.HomecareChoices.org.
