Why Adult Family Homes Matter
The statistics tell a compelling story about the future of senior care
Adult Family Homes are the Future of Senior Care
In Oregon state, more than 17,000 seniors receive long-term care in state-licensed adult family homes. As our population ages, this number will be expected to double in the next 7 to 10 years.
$280 Million Saved Annually
It is estimated that each year Washington state saves more than $280 million in long-term care costs by utilizing adult family homes rather than nursing homes.
Small and Familial Setting
Adult family homes offer a small and familial setting where frail seniors can receive all levels of care.
120,000 People with Alzheimer's in Oregon
295,000 family caregivers bear the burden of the disease in Oregon. We are here to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
5,200 Residents Receiving Hospice Care
Many of them at home or in institutions, a low-stimulation home environment with dementia-skilled staff is best for minimizing difficult behaviors.
27.3% Growth Rate by 2025
It is estimated that the number of individuals 85 and older in Oregon State will grow from 47,000 to 54,000 by 2025.
