Health and Wellness Programs If you are looking for a way to keep healthy, improve your health, or manage a health condition, we invite you to find about the free, evidence-based health and wellness programs we sponsor in our five county service area.

NorthWest Senior and Disability Services can help. We have workers, called Options Counselors, who can discuss with you your needs and share options. This help is free. Care in the Community You may find that you want or need to live in a place other than your home. It can be helpful to know about community care options. They are: Adult Foster Homes Adult foster homes are private homes with family-style living. They offer room, board, and physical care for up to five people. NorthWest Senior and Disability Services licenses, inspects, and monitors these homes in Clatsop, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, and Yamhill counties. Assisted Living Facilities Assisted living facilities have private apartments with a bathroom and small kitchen. They offer dining room meals, housekeeping, physical care, and call systems for 24-hour care. They are licensed and regulated by the Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities
7 Residential Care Facilities Residential care facilities are group settings that offer room, board, supervision, and physical care for six or more people. They offer either a shared or private room. They do not have to offer private bathrooms or kitchens. They are licensed and regulated by the Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities. Nursing Facilities Nursing facilities provide nursing care 24 hours a day in a medical setting. They offer services such as on-site physical rehabilitation, recovery after being in the hospital for a serious illness or injury, and restorative services. In Oregon, all people must be screened before entering a nursing facility. This is called a pre-admission screening. The screening is free and helps to make sure a nursing facility is the right fit for your care needs. Nursing facilities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities. Public Files NorthWest Senior and Disability Services has files for all community care options in Clatsop, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, and Yamhill counties. In them, you will find licensing and monitoring information. You will also find any reports of abuse. These files are helpful when deciding on a place to live. Please contact any NorthWest Senior and Disability Services office to set up a meeting to view these public files. Reporting Abuse The truth is that there are cases of abuse. It could be physical, sexual, or mental abuse. It could also be neglect, self-neglect, or financial abuse. Anyone can report abuse. It can be reported for someone who lives at home or in the community. It can be reported for yourself, or you can report it for someone else. You do not have to give your name when making a report. To make a report, contact: NorthWest Senior and Disability Services Toll-free: Oregon s Abuse Reporting Hotline Toll-free: Your Local Police Department (for help at anytime) 14

9 Gatekeeper Program A Gatekeeper is a person, who in the normal course of his or her job, has contact with seniors and people with disabilities. This could be, for example, a grocery store clerk, bank teller, pharmacist, utility reader, or mail carrier. Gatekeepers learn to keep watch for signs that someone may be in need of help. When they notice something concerning, like confusion, neglect, or a poorly kept living space, they contact NorthWest Senior and Disability Services to follow up. Volunteer If you are looking for a way to keep active, please think about volunteering with NorthWest Senior and Disability Services. Our senior meals, Senior Peer Mentoring, and Medicare counseling programs are possible because of many dedicated volunteers. We also have a Senior Advisory Council and a Disability Services Advisory Council. To learn more, please contact us. Emergency Fund NorthWest Senior and Disability Services has an emergency fund. It is for seniors and people with disabilities who have an urgent need and have no other options. It is possible because of community cash donations.
