Oregon's model provides services that are desirable to consumers and control costs. We have created options that serve private-pay consumers as well as Medicaid clients. Our state has much to share about creating a consumer responsive, cost-effective system. I appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about it.

Respite care fosters a healthier quality of life for both the care giver and care receiver.
Adult Day Services Adult day services can help people with physical and cognitive impairments remain independent. They are offered in a variety of centers around Oregon. Some day centers also offer nursing, physical therapy, and personal care. This is the most rapidly growing and popular part of Oregon's Long-term care System. Seniors and people with disabilities can receive services in their own home.
