Official state tools

These are public government websites. We list them because they are useful, not because anyone has endorsed us or because we have a partnership with them. Always check a provider's current license status directly with the state before you make a decision.

Oregon: licensed long-term care search

The state of Oregon runs a public search for licensed long-term care settings, including assisted living, residential care, memory care, and adult foster homes. You can look up a setting by name or area and see its licensing information.

Medicare

Medicare.gov is the official federal site for Medicare. It is a general reference for what Medicare does and does not cover. To be clear, Medicare does not pay for our placement service; the service is free to families, and we do not bill Medicare for placement help.

How to use these tools

A license search tells you whether a setting is licensed and may show inspection or complaint information. It does not tell you whether the setting is right for your parent. Fit is about people: how staff talk to residents, whether the routines suit your parent, and whether the place can handle the care they are likely to need.

When you are comparing settings, write down the questions you want answered and bring them on the visit. Our service pages include questions to ask for each type of setting, starting with assisted living and memory care.

We are not a government agency. We do not claim to be a registered Oregon referral agent, and we do not hold a Washington license. We are an advisory service that helps families work through their options.
