Position within Oregon

39 citations — more than 79% of the 572 licensed assisted living facilities in Oregon. Compared only within Oregon: a citation from ODHS means what it means in Oregon, and there is no national assisted living record to compare to. Counted over 5 years, which holds two or three routine inspections. How this is calculated

Not in this record

Fire and life safety inspection, and enforcement. The fire inspection of an Oregon assisted living or residential care facility is the State Fire Marshal's or the local fire authority's and is not published; what ODHS itself cites about the building — its fire and life safety rule, emergency and disaster planning, and the building requirements — is here. ODHS also publishes substantiated abuse and licensing complaint findings, licence conditions and civil penalties for each facility; none of that is republished. This record is the survey citations only. Adult foster homes, which Oregon licenses separately and which are mostly licensed to an individual, are not included.
