Ewcc

Ewcc is a homecare agency serving Portland, Oregon and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Oregon, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Oregon Department of Human Services and generally must maintain a In-Home Care Agency License. Oregon requires licensure for In-Home Care Agencies.

Payment Options: In Oregon, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Oregon Project Independence, HCBS Waiver. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Oregon Health Authority or visit https://www.oregon.gov/dhs/seniors-disabilities/Pages/index.aspx to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Oregon Department of Human Services for more information about homecare services in Oregon.

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