Overview of Columbia Basin Care Facility

Located at 1015 Webber Street in The Dalles, Oregon, Columbia Basin Care Facility is a skilled nursing home owned by Wasco County Nursing Care. The home has been serving the community for 28 years. It’s in a very walkable area with a Walk Score of 76, so many errands are accessible on foot.

The facility currently serves about 50 residents across 90 available beds. Residents stay an average of 143 days, including short-term rehabilitation residents and those needing longer-term nursing care.

Families have multiple options for paying for care, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Residents receive an average of 5 hours and 1 minute of nursing care per day from registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses. Staff work around the clock, and a doctor is on-site. The level of care is appropriate for those recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalization, as well as those needing ongoing skilled nursing care.

Dining is an important part of daily life at the facility. Fresh meals are served in three dining rooms with table-side service. Menus are tailored to residents’ personal preferences, cultural backgrounds, and nutritional needs, helping create a more personalized dining experience.

State inspections by the Oregon Department of Human Services have looked at areas including resident safety, care planning, and infection control practices. The facility has worked to correct these findings as part of its ongoing efforts to sustain quality of care.

vs avg

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Registered Nurse (RN) is +26% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	52m per day	▲ 26% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	32m per day	▼ 40% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 27m per day	▲ 3% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 27m per day	■ Avg State avg: 4h 23m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	1m per day	▼ 88% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	22m per day	▼ 16% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 28m per day
