What is a residential care (an Adult foster home)?

A residential care home or an adult foster care is a licensed, single-family residence that provides 24-hour care in a homelike setting for up to five adults. These homes offer a more personalized and community-integrated alternative to larger institutional care facilities.

. Personalized Care: AFHs cater to older adults and individuals with physical disabilities, offering services ranging from basic room and board to comprehensive personal care.

. Homelike Environment: Residents live in a family-style setting, promoting comfort and familiarity.

. Regulated and Licensed: The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS)oversees the licensing, inspection, and monitoring of these homes to ensure safety and quality care.
