OHCA promotes high quality care
and services through professional development and effective
advocacy in the shaping of public and private policy.
President's Message:
Oregon Health Care Association's
mission: promoting high quality long term care services,
effective advocacy, and professional development opportunities,
is designed to enhance health care, housing, and supportive
social services provided by our members. Our goal is to help our
members succeed by assisting them to meet the care needs of long
term care consumers and their families.
It is estimated that by the 2020, America's population of those
aged 85 and older will double to over 7 million people. By the
year 2050, this number is projected to grow to between 19 and 27
million people. Planning for long term care is essential to
meeting this growing need.
OHCA member facilities provide services to over 15,000
Oregonians each day. In addition, our members provide employment
opportunities for approximately 20,000 Oregonians. Many
facilities provide specialized services and programs including:
Alzheimer's or dementia-related conditions, programs for
pediatric patients, and victims of serious head injuries or
trauma. Our members seek to maximize their residents choice,
dignity and independence.
The information and facility directory on the following pages is
designed to provide useful information for consumers to assist
in planning for and arranging long term care services for
themselves and their families. Please let us know what OHCA can
do to provide additional assistance. |
