Inspection Report Summary for Avalon Care Center – Scappoose
The most recent inspection on August 26, 2025, identified deficiencies related to grievance handling and administrative rules. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including care planning, accident prevention, food safety, nursing staffing, and repeated failures to report complete COVID-19 data to the CDC’s NHSN. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though the latest report noted a resident grievance that led to staff administrative leave and resignation, with education and systemic changes implemented afterward. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly in staffing and reporting, with no clear trend of improvement or worsening.
