How Oregon Licenses Assisted Living
Oregon Department of Human Services, Safety, Oversight and Quality Unit (ODHS) licenses assisted living and residential care facilities in Oregon. License categories in Oregon:
- Assisted Living Facility
- Residential Care Facility
- Memory Care Community endorsement
- Adult Foster Home
What it means for your family: Oregon requires a Memory Care Community endorsement for facilities that provide memory care. 25 of our 51 Oregon partners also offer memory care, so a resident whose needs grow may not need to move again.
Inspection reports for Oregon communities are available through the ODHS licensing page.
Oregon Programs That Help Pay for Assisted Living
Medicaid long-term services and supports (K Plan / Community First Choice)
Oregon Medicaid can pay for services in assisted living, residential care, and memory care for eligible residents.
Aid & Attendance in Oregon
The benefit is paid to the Oregon veteran or surviving spouse, not the community, so it can go toward any assisted living bill. It is not federally taxable.
The family home
Many Oregon families rent out or sell the house. VA counts sale proceeds as assets, so plan the timing.
Long-term care insurance
If your Oregon parent bought a long-term care policy years ago, it may pay a set daily amount toward assisted living.
