A Wallowa County Court
resolution proclaiming Octo-
ber as Adult Foster Care Month
in the county acknowledges a
quiet revolution that has taken
place in the care and housing
of the elderly in recent years.
While only two adult foster
homes existed in the county as
recently as 1984, there are now
seven licensed homes current-

There are also nine relative fos-
ter homes in the county, where
relatives serve as a caregiver to
one family member. According
to the most recent estimate, 27
