Oregon: what a medical director of a long-term care / assisted living / group home must do

Whether Oregon requires a physician medical director for a long-term care / assisted living / group home, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.

Medical directorMedical director required
Title in the ruleMedical Director
Research date2026-09-03

Qualifications

A physician, designated in writing.

Duties the rule assigns

  • Serve on the facility's Quality Assessment and Assurance Committee
  • Help ensure adequate medical care is provided in a timely manner
  • Act as attending physician for residents with no other physician, or ensure another physician is available

Notes

CONFIRMED for nursing facilities specifically (OAR 411-086-0200) — this tracks the federal SNF medical-director requirement (42 CFR 483.75(i)) already in force nationwide. Research could NOT confirm an equivalent mandate for Oregon's separately-regulated residential care/assisted living tier (OAR ch. 411, div. 54, which addresses administrator qualifications but no medical-director role found there) — treat that tier as an open question, not a confirmed absence.
