Abstract

The Institute on Aging at Portland State University (IOA/PSU) presents findings from the ninth annual study of Oregon community-based care: assisted living and residential care facilities (AL/RC) with and without memory care endorsement (MC). In this year’s study, we included information about various resident, community, and staff characteristics, including: 1) Residents: sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race, ethnicity), length of stay, personal assistance, health conditions, status, service use, medications, and advanced care planning/legal documentation; 2) Communities: capacity, occupancy rates, resident move-in and move-out locations, private pay charges, Medicaid reimbursement to facilities, staffing, resident transportation use, COVID-19 impacts; and 3) Staff: type (e.g., RN, LPN, CNA, CMA, non-licensed or certified personal care staff), contract or agency staff, number of staff employed, benefits offered, ability to hire new staff, challenges to hiring new staff. The study was funded by the Oregon Department of Human Services.
