  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: Oregon Community-Based Care Survey: Assisted Living, Residential Care, and Memory Care Author: Carder, Paula C., Kohon, Jacklyn Nicole, Limburg, Aubrey, Zimam, Amanuel, Rushkin, Megan, Neal, Margaret B. Year: 2016 This report, prepared by the Institute on Aging (IOA) at Portland State University (PSU) in collaboration with the Oregon Department of Human Services, describes community-based care (CBC) settings that provide residential, personal care, and health-related services, primarily to older adults. The study collected information from assisted living, residential care, and memory care communities to achieve the following four main goals. Describe assisted living, residential care, and memory care community characteristics, including staffing types and levels, policies, and monthly charges and fees Describe current residents’ health and social characteristics Compare current results to prior Oregon surveys and to national studies of similar setting types to identify changes and possible trends Compare setting types for differences that might affect access, quality, or costs The study findings are intended to provide information that state agency staff, legislators, community-based care providers, and consumers might use to guide their decisions. Providing state-level information was one of the goals of Oregon’s LTC 3.0 planning process (Oregon Department of Human Services, n.d.). In addition, as possible, comparisons are made to national surveys of residential care and assisted living conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics. Because of state variation in licensure categories, the national surveys combine residential and assisted living settings and use the term residential care to describe both. It should also be noted that regulatory standards and the types of residents that can be served in AL and RC settings vary by state, as well.
