PROGRAMS
At Quiet Waters Outreach we recognize the value of our guests while also honoring the need to provide respite to their families and primary caregivers. We do this through two programs: Bed & Breakfast (B&B) and Discovery Day Program (DDP). These services operate out of homes within a residential community which allow for privacy, a home away from home feel and a great opportunity to connect with peers.
All programs and both houses are Medicaid certified through the State of Oregon and have hosted countless hours of fun and respite since opening in 2002. They are staffed by Direct Support Professionals who are comprehensively trained on medication administration, CPR/AED First Aid, Oregon Intervention System (OIS) and support for each of our guests. Programs can be paid through pre-approved Medicaid or on a private pay basis. Placement in programs is contingent on objective screening regarding a guest’s ability to receive care in a 1:5 ratio, history of violence, and history of sexual aggression.

BED & BREAKFAST
The first and only Bed & Breakfast for adults who experience intellectual or developmental disabilities. We offer overnight respite through this program every weekend throughout the year except major holidays. Relief care is needed for both the individual as well as the family. Guests are able to enjoy their time away from home with friends, while their caregiving family is able to have some relief care.
Bed & Breakfast operates at one of our houses from 6 p.m. Friday – 6 p.m. Sunday in Hillsboro and Tigard
This program is staffed in a 1:5 caregiver: guest ratio and has a rotating calendar of themes and outings including bowling, craft making, cooking, attending sports games, and other seasonal events like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, or Halloween. Calendar themes and events are sent out quarterly and reserved based on level of care needs as well as fairness. During their stay at B&B, guests will receive three full meals a day as well as snacks. One lunch is eaten out in the community as a collaborative decision location. Any additional money needed for outings or activities will be noted on the calendar.
Tours of both our houses are available a variety of hours Monday – Friday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Private Pay rate for B&B weekend is $450 ($225/night).
