  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.

The results presented here are derived from surveys completed by 243 facilities serving 9,485 residents. Key changes between the 2008 OOHPR survey and 2014 include: Compared to 2008, the number of facilities increased by 13%, with the largest growth in MCCs (41%). The proportion of for-profit facilities and facilities managed by a third party increased from 2008 by 8%. The acuity level of residents increased on most measures compared to 2008. Compared to 2008, residents across all three community types required more assistance with ADLs and used more health services. Residents of MCCs required the most assistance with ADLs and use of health services, which is similar to 2008. The percent of residents who used hospice services increased from 2008 by 2%. The percent of residents who visited the hospital or an emergency department increased from 10% in 2008 to 28% in 2014. The percent of residents using Medicaid increased from 2008 by 10%.

  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.
