Rachenda and her husband, Robert, have been in the adult foster care business for seven years and also operate Devenberg Care Home in Salem. Each facility has room for five individuals and Rachenda says they’re usually full. The grant will help the Devenbergs make some modifications to Felina Gardens and help with furnishings. “We’re in an industry where care can be really good or really bad,” said Rachenda. “We’ve had lots of luck and good referrals, and we try to keep up with our good reputation.” Clients at both facilities are housed in a home setting with their own rooms. They must be somewhat independent, needing help in not more than two areas, such as bathing or walking. Clients can come and go on their own and each facility has a schedule of activities that may include shopping trips or an outing to the state fair. For more information, contact Rachenda or Robert at 503-581-3514. ¿?¿ Computer ?¿? Where exactly is cyberspace? What's spamming? And who’s JANET?
