All Residential Care Facilities in Oregon are licensed by the State of Oregon. The definition "Residential Care Facility means a building, complex or distinct part thereof, consisting of shared or individual living units in a home-like surrounding where six or more seniors and adult persons with disabilities may reside. The facility offers and coordinates a range of supportive services available on a 24-hour basis. Facility services address the residents' activities of daily living, health, and social needs in a way that promote choice, dignity, individuality and independence."
No facility may use the term residential care facility or present itself as providing residential care services unless it is licensed as such. A residential care facility may not be operated in combination with other facilities unless it is licensed, maintained, and operated as a distinctive part.
