Oregon State Hospital in Salem, Oregon, United States, is the primary state-run psychiatric hospital in the state of Oregon since Dammasch State Hospital closed in 1995. The 620-bed facility is best known as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The aging facility (along with the state legislature which funds it) has been criticized as providing substandard mental health care.HistoryNineteenth centuryBuilt in 1883 as the "Oregon State Insane Asylum," much of the original structure remains in use. Some wings of the original building, however, have been off-limits due to physical deterioration.The original Oregon Hospital for the Insane was established by J.C. Hawthorne in what was then East Portland, Oregon, (now the Hawthorne District). The facility was built in 1862, and the street on which it was built was renamed Asylum Avenue. Local residents protested about the name, however, and it was renamed Hawthorne in honor of the hospital's founder in 1888.The street in Salem on which the current hospital is located, Center Street, was also originally named Asylum Avenue.Twentieth centuryAn accidental mass poisoning occurred on November 18, 1942 when scrambled eggs were served for dinner. Within minutes people got stomach cramps, leg cramps, started to vomit, and got respiratory difficulties. Overall, 467 people got sick and 47 people died. Forensic examination determined that the poisoning was due to a mix-up in the kitchen. Instead of flour sodium fluoride, a poison to kill cockroaches, had been used in the cooking process.
Most AFSCME members are, as the organization's name implies, public governmental employees. However, Oregon AFSCME does represent some workers in the private sector; many of those work for private, non-profit organizations doing contract work for a governmental agency.
Home Instead Senior Care Home Instead Senior Care has offices world-wide. With over 900 franchises in 15 countries, it is one of the largest (if not THE largest) In-Home Care companies around. LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED The Salem, Oregon office began business in 1997, and was bought by Doug & Ann Allen, Bobbi Boles, and Patti Saunders in 2007. Ann, Bobbi and Patti are sisters that grew up in the Salem/Keizer area. After college, Bobbi and Patti returned to the area to make this their home, raising their children and investing their time and efforts in the community. WHAT IS IN-HOME CARE? The whole approach of caring for someone right in their own home is a wonderful concept, and greatly appealing to many people who want to: > maintain their own routine, > keep their privacy, > remain independent, > stay in the place where they raised their kids, > live in the home that holds so many memories, > hold on to the homestead or anywhere they may be, whether they've lived there over 50 years, or just a little while. Home is where most people - if given the chance - want to live out their years. Some people have been able to plan for the future and have finally purchased the house they want to retire in. But the reality is, most people have not planned how they're going to manage if something happens to their mental or physical health. They are forced to stay home, with or without help. Having a CAREGiver come in for just a few hours a day or several hours a week can truly make the difference in the quality of life. WHY CARE AT HOME? Studies have been done that show that elderly people thrive better, live longer, and live more satisfying lives when they are able to stay in their own home. A 2006 Purdue University study showed that elders who are receiving services at home remain healthier and need fewer hospitalizations than those who are home without services. http://news.uns.purdue.edu/html4ever/2006/060213.Sands.elderly.html WHAT QUALIFIES AS 'HOME'? Home may be > a private residential home > a rental > independent living community > assisted living community and where ever there is a need, if it is within our ability and scope to do it, we will go. WHAT SERVICES ARE OFFERED? CAREGivers provide a WIDE variety of services from Companionship, to Housekeeping, to Personal Care. Here are a few ideas of how a CAREGiver may help: >shopping / errands >transportation to appointments >preparing meals >mobility assistance >assisting with dressing >bathing aid / or stand-by assistance >incontinence care >aid with reading >take out the garbage >changing linens >laundry >organize & clean closets >assisting with cognitive impairment >writing letters/correspondence >pet care >and SO much more. Every person creates their own 'list' of what will work best for them. That list may increase or decrease to better fit their needs as interests change, as schedules get moved, or as strength is regained or health needs expand.

The Oregon State Fair is the official state fair of the U.S. state of Oregon. It takes place every August–September at the 185acre Oregon State Fairgrounds located in north Salem, the state capital, as it has almost every year since 1862. In 2006, responsibility for running the fair was delegated to the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, and the division is now known as the Oregon State Fair & Exposition Center (OSFEC), which holds events on the fairgrounds year-round.HistoryAs Oregon agriculture expanded in the early 19th century many communities formed agricultural associations for the purpose of sharing information on farming practices and resources. These groups began to organize county fairs such as the Yamhill County Fair (1850). Shortly thereafter the Oregon Farmer newspaper began calling for a statewide fair. A group of farmers known as the Oregon Fruitgrowers Association organized the first unofficial state fair in 1858. That year is recognized as the official anniversary year of the fair.In 1860, the association merged with other county groups and became the Oregon State Agricultural Society, who held the first official fair in 1861 in the Gladstone/Oregon City area. It was felt a larger area was needed and following a proposal by the Marion County Agriculture Society, the second official state fair was held in Salem in 1862 on the grounds of the Marion County Fair where it has remained ever since. Homesteader John Savage donated 8acre of his land, which was three miles (5 km) outside of Salem at the time, while pioneer John Minto contributed $1,200 to build a wooden fence around the grounds. The fairgrounds were annexed into Salem in 1921.
