Abstract

This report is the ninth installment of the Oregon Community-Based Care Study: Resident and Community Characteristics Report on Adult Foster Homes. Each year, the Institute on Aging at Portland State University (IOA/PSU) collects and reports information that can inform and advise policymakers, state and county agency staff, advocates for older adults and people with physical disabilities, and AFH owners and providers about the AFH landscape in Oregon. The results covered in this report include home and owner characteristics, staff positions, wages, and hiring challenges, consumer payer sources, additional fees and services, resident demographics, health conditions, personal care, health services use, and medication use, and providers’ experiences owning and operating an AFH during a pandemic. IOA/PSU collected the information in this report between January-March 2023. The study was funded by the Oregon Department of Human Services.

Description

A study completed by the Institute on Aging at Portland State University in partnership with Oregon Department of Human Services.
