Running an AFH requires excellent care and a strong business. Open Bed gives you the relationships, tools, visibility, and support to strengthen both.

🤝

📚

Business Growth Guidance

Use practical training, the Provider Growth Blueprint, and expert conversations to strengthen the business behind the care — one clear next step at a time.

📍

Placement Visibility

Share open beds, strengthen your placement readiness, and build direct relationships with advisors and professionals who need to understand what your home offers.

👥

Trusted Industry Connections

Connect with providers, placement professionals, vetted Power Partners, and experts who understand Oregon's senior care landscape and the realities of operating an AFH.

Built by Someone Who's Done the Work

Jen Bustamante — Founder, Open Bed

Jen has spent more than three decades in long-term care and over 17 years personally owning and operating Adult Family Homes in Oregon. She did not learn this industry from the outside. She built businesses inside it, scaled operations, hired and trained staff, navigated placements, and lived the day-to-day reality providers are navigating now.

Open Bed was created to bring together the support Jen wishes more providers had access to earlier: practical business guidance, trusted professional relationships, placement visibility, and a network where providers can be honest about what they need without having to figure everything out alone.

Inside the Network

More Than Content.
Real Support in Real Moments.

What makes Open Bed valuable is what happens when providers stop navigating every question, referral, and challenge alone.

This work can already feel isolating enough. Your network shouldn't make it harder.

Open Bed is intentionally designed to be a safe, professional environment where providers can ask honest questions, share real challenges, receive useful support, and celebrate progress without the judgment or hostility that can happen in open social media groups.

Check In

A new care home owner entered with three open beds, repeated tours, and no move-ins. After clarifying her niche, strengthening how she presented the home, and improving how she communicated her care model, she later shared that her home was full and thriving — and she was already thinking about a second home.

LaPrecious, a senior placement advisor, saw Anne's introduction post and immediately asked to schedule a home tour in Salem. Anne confirmed within three hours — a direct industry connection created inside the Network.

Placement Advisor + AFH Provider

When a provider posted during a difficult resident transition, experienced members stepped in with compliance, clinical, and emotional support. She did not have to sit with the question alone or wait until the next business day to feel supported.

Open Bed is intentionally built as a professional, supportive network — not an open social media group. Members can ask questions, talk honestly about challenges, share progress, and receive useful support without the hostility, pile-ons, or judgment that can happen in public groups. We check on our members, celebrate their wins, and protect the culture of the Network as it grows.
