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
