Oregon: Long-term-care historical data

When reports no data, several days of data, or unusual data (such as decreases in values that should increase), our volunteers note it here on the date the anomaly occurred. We also note here changes in our own methodology that affect the data.

Oregon reports long-term care data for Care Facilities, Senior Living Communities and Congregate Living Settings. Oregon provides facility-level data.

Oregon reports cumulate and outbreak cases and deaths at the facility-level. An outbreak is defined by three or more confirmed COVID-19 cases or one or more deaths. Outbreaks are considered resolved if there are no new cases identified for 28 days after the last case onset. Resolved outbreak totals are added to current outbreak totals to get cumulative data. Total case count includes all cases associated with the outbreak (e.g., staff, residents, close contacts).

Oregon reports the number of nursing home and assisted living facilities with an active case. These are categorized as outbreak facilities. Oregon defines a facility as an outbreak until 14 days have passed without any residents showing symptoms of the virus.

Oregon Health Authority reports on the number of facilities with five or fewer beds that have “three or more confirmed COVID-19 cases or one or deaths.” In each data collection, we added the number of those facilities, 3 cases and 1 death. This represents the minimum number of cases and deaths we can confirm to be true from the description provided by OR.
