Payment Options: In Oregon, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Oregon Project Independence, HCBS Waiver. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Oregon Health Authority or visit https://www.oregon.gov/dhs/seniors-disabilities/Pages/index.aspx to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.

Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs.
