How many caregivers per resident in assisted living in Oregon?

Unlike many states, Oregon does not mandate a specific, fixed numerical caregiver-to-resident ratio for assisted living facilities. Instead, state regulations require facilities to maintain sufficient awake, qualified staff to meet the 24-hour scheduled and unscheduled needs of each resident, using an acuity-based model. This individualized approach prioritizes the level of care required by residents over a one-size-fits-all number.
