There is a lot to consider in
choosing an Adult Foster Care home. Location is important and care
is also a consideration, as well as how your loved one fits with the
other seniors and whether their interests and age and memory, are
compatible within the Adult Foster Care home. We try to match
those with your loved one to make a good fit particularly if your Mom or
Dad are alert and like to converse, regardless of their physical
abilities. When it is time for meals, most homes like to eat meals
together forming a family bond, whenever possible. Individual care
is most important as well as personal needs. There are basically
three levels of care in all Adult Foster Care homes in Oregon. Light,
medium and heavy that correspond to those three. In
determining specific health needs, we perform a personal
assessment and make recommendations to those homes that may
specialize in those areas that are most needed.
Some homes are furnished but will make
room for your twin bed, dresser, chair and other personal belongings,
and recommend pictures or family photos that depict their past. In taking an assessment, we can establish level of
care needs and provide an idea of cost and how that fits within your
budget, and of course this is a no fee referral service to you.
There are over
500 Adult foster Care homes in Multnomah County alone, and we are constantly updating our files and checking
weekly for any changes regarding
complaints, and only refer those homes with good standing, and that have
no substantiated complaints. We make
every effort to make sure that you are more than satisfied with your choice and help you
through this difficult transition period. We provide a no cost referral
service in Multnomah County, Clackamas County, Washington County, and
Clark County |
