Where Oregon’s Care Home Providers Connect and Learn

CareCommunity Summit History
In 2022, conference co-founders Alyssa Elting McGuire and Adriana Gavozdea began hosting bi-annual Care Home Conferences in Lake Oswego. The conference has now been rebranded and is officially named the CareCommunity Summit.
The Care Home Conference in Lake Oswego is now the CareCommunity Summit! We may have a new name, but the mission is still the same - to provide education, community and connection for Oregon’s adult care home community.
