  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Characteristics of Medicaid Clients in Assisted Living, Residential Care, Memory Care, and Adult Foster Homes 2013-2014 Author: Carder, Paula C., Kohon, Jacklyn Nicole, Elliott, Sheryl DeJoy, West, Maximilian, Zimam, Amanuel, Neal, Margaret B. Year: 2014 In collaboration with the Aging and People with Disabilities (APD) program of Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS), Portland State University’s Institute on Aging generated this report of Medicaid clients living in community-based care (CBC) settings in the state of Oregon. The Oregon legislature appropriated funds for DHS to collect information about these community-based care providers which will allow DHS, providers, and the public to better understand characteristics of Medicaid clients living in different CBC settings. This report is based on an analysis of Medicaid data provided by DHS. The study goals were to: describe Medicaid clients’ health-related needs, service use, and demographic characteristics; provide a baseline for future reports. In addition, this information about Medicaid clients can be compared to the recently completed summary of assisted living facilities (ALF), residential care facilities (RCF), memory care communities (MCC), and adult foster homes (AFH) completed by Portland State University’s Institute on Aging. All three CBC reports and a report recently completed by Oregon State University on nursing facilities in Oregon, provide an important overview of community-based and long-term care settings in Oregon that can be used by policymakers, providers, and consumers.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Resident and Home Characteristics Report 2014: Adult Foster Homes Author: Carder, Paula C., Elliott, Sheryl DeJoy, Limburg, Aubrey, Kohon, Jacklyn Nicole, Zimam, Amanuel, West, Maximilian, Neal, Margaret B. Year: 2014 In collaboration with the Aging and People with Disabilities program of Oregon’s Department of Human Services (DHS), Portland State University’s Institute on Aging conducted this research study of adult foster homes (AFH) throughout the state of Oregon. The Oregon legislature appropriated funds for DHS to collect information from these community-based care providers that will allow DHS, providers, and the public to better understand resident characteristics and adult foster home services. This report summarizes findings from the first state-wide survey of licensed adult foster homes in Oregon. The survey goals were to: describe resident health-related needs, service use, and demographic characteristics; describe AFH provider characteristics (e.g., number of years as a provider, professional training); describe adult foster homes (e.g., occupancy, monthly charges, staffing); and provide a baseline for future surveys. In addition, this information about AFHs can be compared to the recently completed summary of assisted living, residential care, and memory care facilities completed by Portland State University’s Institute on Aging. Both surveys, along with a report that summarizes characteristics of Medicaid clients based on data provided by DHS and a report recently completed by Oregon State University on nursing facilities in Oregon, provide an important overview of community-based care settings in Oregon that can be used by policymakers, providers, and consumers.
