Abstract

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Resident and Community Characteristics Report on Adult Foster Homes as part of the Oregon Community Based Care project. The first of these reports was published in 2014 and looking back, one gets a sense of both stability and change. In this year’s report, we describe the results based on data we collected from AFHs licensed and monitored by the Aging and People with Disabilities program of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS/APD). These are small residential settings that provide personal and health-related services for up to five residents. They are primarily single-family residences with most owners living in them and providing hands-on direct care to their residents in the AFH. When available, we include data from the past years. For certain resident and home characteristics, since we have been tracking them since 2016, we provide data from three specific years (2016, 2020, and 2024) to show notable or significant trends.
