Questions

Questions about care for children

You don’t need to have every answer before you get in touch.

Where do we start when exploring care for our child?

Call EQC at (503) 753-8551 with your general location and the type of support you are exploring. Ask about the assessment process, service requirements, and availability for your child.

Is this childcare or daycare?

No. EQC is a home care agency. For children, that means personal care and nursing for clients whose health condition is stable and predictable, planned around your child’s needs and your family’s routines.

Can parents and family caregivers be involved?

Yes. Ask how your family can participate in planning and what caregiver education may be appropriate for the care being considered.

Are all EQC services available for children?

Services have different scopes and requirements. EQC’s occupational therapy currently focuses on older adults. Confirm the age requirements and fit of any service with our team before planning care.

Should I send my child’s medical records with an inquiry?

Please do not include medical records, diagnoses, medication details, or other sensitive information in the general inquiry form. Call EQC to discuss the next step and how any necessary information should be shared.
