OHCA 2020 Oregon Long Term Care State Report

2020 Oregon Long Term Care State Report www.ohca.com 5 Oregonians Receiving Long Term Care Each day, more than 64,000 Oregonians receive long term care services across the state, and that number will grow as Oregon’s population continues to age. Oregon’s population is aging steadily. In 2020, 787,927 Oregonians were 65 years of age or older, and, of that, 90,104 were 85 or older—the age group most likely to need care. By 2025, there will be an estimated 103,233 Oregonians over the age of 85, a 15% growth in just five years. The changing demographic profile of Oregon presents a great opportunity for providers to enhance their delivery of care and services and for caregivers to provide compassionate care. Yet, it also requires the state to prepare for the needs of an older population. Investments in long term care must increase and must do so immediately to maintain access as our population ages. Access issues are already more pronounced in underserved and rural communities, and in communities with higher rates of individuals relying on Medicaid.
