Long-Term Care Community Nursing
Long-Term Care Community Nursing (LTCCN) is a nursing program that is designed to help individuals, their caregivers, foster home providers, and services coordinators/personal agents.

Direct nursing services
Direct nursing (DNS) is a program designed to provide shift nursing to adults 21 years of age and older with complex health management support needs that require continual assessment and reassessment, supervision, nursing treatments, therapies, and interventions in their own home or a foster home.
An ODDS RN will complete an assessment using the DNS Criteria for Adults to determine eligibility for DNS. Services coordinators and personal agents can send assessment requests to odds.rnsupport@odhsoha.oregon.gov when an individual needs shift nursing supports to remain in their home or a foster home.
