Josphat Gathage

Josphat Gathage is a licensed adult foster home - class 3 located in Salem, Oregon. Oregon Adult Foster Homes are classified into three levels (Class 1, 2, and 3) based on the level of care they can provide. Class 3 homes can serve residents with higher care needs.

Josphat Gathage has a licensed capacity of 5 residents. Services include room and board, personal care assistance, medication management, meals, housekeeping, transportation, and supervision. Care is highly individualized in an intimate home environment.

Who We Serve: Adult Foster Homes serve adults who need assistance with daily activities and benefit from living in a family home environment rather than a larger facility. Residents may include older adults and adults with physical or developmental disabilities.

Licensing: Typically licensed by the Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities division.

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.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
