EAST PORTLAND CARE CENTER

EAST PORTLAND CARE CENTER is an Assisted Living Facility located in PORTLAND, OR. Assisted Living Facilities in Oregon are typically licensed to care for 6+ residents. Some smaller Assisted Living Facilities may accommodate 6 – 20 residents, while others may accommodate 60+ residents per facility. OR Assisted Living Facilities are typically large apartment / resort style facilities that encourage social interactions, group activities and communal dining. In Oregon, these are separated into two categories - Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) and Residential Care Facilities (RCFs). Assisted Living Facilities offer private self-contained Studios and 1 - 3 Bedroom Suites, Apartments and Cottages with their own kitchens and bathrooms. Residential Care Facilities only offer private and shared rooms, with no Studios or Apartment style units. Both offer communal dining halls. Room & Care fits both of these into the same category called Assisted Living Facilities. You can tell by the Room Type which type of facility it actually is. Shared Rooms and Private Rooms are formally considered Residential Care Facilities (RCFs), while Studios, 1, 2 and 3-Bedroom Suites are formally considered Assisted Living Facilities. Both are perfect for people who need some daily assistance, but prefer a much more independent and social lifestyle. Assisted Living Facilities and RCFs typically employ less caregivers per resident than smaller Adult Foster Homes. This encourages independence and social interaction, but may not be suitable for residents who require constant attention and care from staff.
EAST PORTLAND CARE CENTER currently has a room available, and is looking for the right resident to join their facility. The available room listed here is shared, meaning you will have a roommate. The bathroom is shared between you and one or more of the residents in the home.

EAST PORTLAND CARE CENTER accepts Medicaid, and is seeking a Medicaid resident for this available room. Medicaid recipients typically need to have an assessment from Medicaid which will include the resident’s level of required care, as well as the daily and monthly dollar amount that Medicaid will cover for their care. There may also be certain waivers available for qualifying residents, which may cover additional items that Medicaid itself will not cover. Each state has very different Medicaid rules, coverages and limits, as well as different available waiver programs. If you have not already done so, please contact your local Medicaid office to determine what you need to do in order to get an official assessment, and if you qualify for any additional coverage. Once you have that, you can contact this facility (or any other facility that accepts Medicaid) and they will ask you some questions about the care you require and about your Medicaid assessment. The facility will make the final determination whether to accept a resident or not. Room & Care encourages residents to contact multiple facilities to improve their odds of being accepted faster. Facilities look at factors such as whether the resident will fit in with their other current residents, if the resident requires a similar level of care as the other residents in the facility, current number of available caregivers or a lack thereof - among other factors.
