Selecting an Adult Foster Home

The office of Senior and Disability Services keeps a list of Adult Foster Homes in the Linn and Benton County areas and is somewhat knowledgeable about current vacancies. They can be reached at (541) 924-8444. Their office is located at 1400 Queen Avenue SE, Suite 206. If you choose to consider adult foster placement for your loved one, the following are points to consider.

• Is the house clean and free of clutter?
• Are the staff friendly? How are they trained?
• How are the meals prepared?
• What are the house rules in matters like visiting hours and other restrictions?
• How is the house staffed? Is there someone awake at night?
• What is the environment like? Does it feel like home, or are there distracting noises, activities or odors?
