Care Setting:

The goal of an adult foster home is to provide care and services to residents while supporting their independence. Adult foster homes provide the opportunity for residents to reside in a safe and caring home-like environment where individual needs are met, and dignity of life is maintained. The health, safety and dignity of our residents is always our primary focus. Oregon Seniors and Disability Services licenses and inspects our home annually.

There are 5 residents in the adult foster care who we support in performing their activities of daily living (feeding, medication management, bathing, toileting). We maintain a safe and clean environment for them, as well as help them pursue activities they enjoy whether it's reading, shopping, cooking, watching the farm animals, outings into town, or going for a walk. There is a minimum of two caregivers present at all times. We help one another and work as a team to provide the best care possible to our residents 24 hours a day. Ability to work with others and a positive attitude are required.
