Review Consumer Statements

Licensing inspections evaluate a provider’s compliance with rules and laws. Licensing surveyors look at a variety of factors, including quality of care and services provided, as well as the condition of the provider’s physical structure, equipment, staffing levels, policies, procedures and finances. Under federal requirements, nursing facilities receive recertification inspections and inspections following a complaint investigation. The inspections represent a snapshot of the provider’s compliance with regulatory requirements at the time the inspection took place.

The Oregon Department of Human Services publishes annual reports about assisted living and residential care facilities, including those with memory care endorsements. The reports show how facilities are doing in areas like staffing, safety, and resident experience.

Facilities submit this information once each year using an online reporting tool. The results reflect how each facility operated during that year. The information is self-reported by facilities and is not independently audited by the department. This means the reports show what facilities report about their own performance.

Each year, assisted living and residential care facilities must report information on:

Retention of direct care staff
Compliance with staff training requirements
Number of resident falls that result in injury
Incidence of use of antipsychotic medications for non-standard purposes
Results of an annual resident satisfaction survey conducted by an independent entity

Facilities submit this information electronically each year. Reporting began in 2020. Instructions and definitions are updated annually and published on the Residential Care Quality Metrics Program web page
