Overview of Village Manor of Cascadia

Village Manor of Cascadia is a 60-bed rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care facility at 2060 NE 238th Drive, Wood Village, Multnomah County, Oregon. Privately owned and operated by Cascadia Healthcare, LLC, the community provides rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care with an in-house rehabilitation gym, individualized care, activities programming, and assistance with activities of daily living. CMS ratings are 4/5 overall, 3/5 Health Inspection, 5/5 Staffing, and 4/5 Quality Measures.

The regulatory record documents serious compliance failures and a sentinel safety event. Over four years, Village Manor logged 44 deficiencies; 11 annually, 64 percent above Oregon’s 6.7-deficiency benchmark.

The August 12, 2025, inspection revealed four deficiencies triggered by a resident fall caused by care plan non-adherence, resulting in serious injury; the accountable CNA was terminated and all deficiencies were corrected by revisit. The May 9, 2025, inspection identified fourteen significant deficiencies covering homelike environment maintenance, abuse prevention, freedom from chemical restraints, timely reporting of alleged violations, comprehensive psychotropic medication care planning, quality of care, specialized rehabilitation services, and others; many remained uncorrected upon revisit. An October 4, 2024, inspection found no deficiencies but noted two citations with no corrections.

A January 17, 2024, inspection documented ten deficiencies in advance directives, transfer and discharge notification, discharge summaries, resident record accuracy, binding arbitration agreements, and employee reference checks; several were corrected on revisit while others persisted. Multiple inspections from July 2022 through August 2023 repeatedly cited failure to report complete COVID-19 information to the CDC’s National Health Safety Network. A December 7, 2022, inspection found nine deficiencies spanning abuse prevention, accident hazards, unnecessary medications, food preferences, resident records, and infection prevention; some were corrected on revisit, others did not. The August 2025 fall with serious injury stands as a direct consequence of care plan non-adherence and points to systemic supervision or accountability gaps.

No fines or license actions are recorded.

The facility provides rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care with in-house gym, individualized care, and activities. Nursing hours averaged 3 percent below the Oregon state benchmark. Private pay is required; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.

Families should obtain documentation detailing corrective actions taken following the August 2025 serious fall incident and the May 2025 fourteen-deficiency inspection and request verification of implementation.

Overview of Creekside Health and Rehab of Cascadia

Creekside Health and Rehab of Cascadia is an 87-bed rehabilitation and long-term care facility at 3500 Hilyard Street, Eugene, Lane County, Oregon. Operated by Cascadia Healthcare, LLC, the community provides rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Nursing hours averaged 30 percent above the Oregon state benchmark.

The regulatory record is generally favorable with two recent isolated deficiency clusters. Over four years, Creekside logged 21 deficiencies; 5.3 annually, 21 percent better than Oregon’s 6.7-deficiency benchmark.

A March 30, 2022, complaint, licensure complaint, and state licensure survey revealed eight deficiencies in failure to address resident change in condition, follow physician orders, provide wound care, manage medications, maintain infection control, and ensure COVID-19 vaccination and testing policies; some were corrected after initial visits, others persisted uncorrected. A June 12, 2023, focused infection control survey identified one deficiency in failure to report complete COVID-19 information to CDC’s NHSN during a required seven-day period with potential harm to residents. Complaint, licensure complaint, and state licensure surveys on February 5, 2024, May 14, 2024, and October 23, 2024, found no deficiencies. A June 12, 2025, complaint, licensure complaint, and state licensure survey cited four deficiencies related to failure to ensure a resident was treated with dignity and respect, placing residents at risk.

Multiple grievances against a former CNA resulted in administrative leave, with the facility providing education and work plans for involved staff. A July 8, 2025, federal monitoring survey identified two deficiencies in failure to report allegations of abuse to the state survey agency within required time frames for one sampled resident, placing residents at risk. The facility provided education on abuse reporting following the incident. The facility’s four-year average deficiency rate remains below state average.

Two recent clusters in June and July 2025 addressing resident dignity and abuse reporting timeliness appear to have triggered corrective staff education and administrative action; however, the proximity of these findings and their thematic connection to resident safety and reporting protocols warrants confirmation of sustained systemic improvement during placement.

The facility provides rehabilitation, long-term care, memory care, and respite care with 24-hour staffing. Private pay is required; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted. Nursing hours averaged 30 percent above the Oregon state benchmark.

Families should ask about the corrections and staff training protocols implemented following the June 2025 resident dignity and July 2025 abuse reporting deficiencies.

Overview of Timberline Post Acute

Timberline Post Acute is a 67-bed post-acute skilled nursing and memory care facility at 1023 6th Avenue SW, Albany, Linn County, Oregon. Operated by Timberline SNF Healthcare, LLC, the community provides 24-hour skilled nursing with rehabilitation, memory care, therapy and assessment services six to seven days weekly, case management, discharge planning, and specialized programs including joint replacement and orthopedic rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation, fall prevention, pulmonary care, post-operative care, pain management, infusion therapy, vascular wound management, renal disease services, tracheostomy care, cancer recovery, bariatric care, and palliative and hospice care. The facility holds a 5-Star Medicare Rating.

The regulatory record documents persistent and worsening compliance failures, particularly in infection control, pressure ulcer management, and care quality. Over four years, Timberline logged 37 deficiencies, averaging 9.3 annually, 39 percent above Oregon’s 6.7-deficiency benchmark.

Four focused infection control surveys in May 2022, March 2023, May 2023, and April 2024 each identified one deficiency in failure to report complete COVID-19 information to CDC’s NHSN. None were corrected at visit. A June 2, 2023, complaint investigation cited thirteen deficiencies spanning resident rights, change notification, abuse prevention, comprehensive assessment, quality of care, foot care, accident hazards, staffing sufficiency, dental services, and food preferences; some were corrected at revisit, many persisted uncorrected. A September 27, 2024, complaint investigation revealed nine deficiencies in quality of care, respiratory and tracheostomy care, drug regimen review, records confidentiality, infection control, bariatric staffing, and administrative compliance; some corrected at revisit, many not.

Complaint investigations on April 2, 2024, April 9, 2025, and November 25, 2025, documented no deficiencies corrected at visit. A December 9, 2025, complaint investigation identified five deficiencies in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, infection control, and administrative rule violations, with none corrected at visit. The persistent pattern across four years is notable: deficiencies remain uncorrected at revisits; infection control violations span multiple surveys without sustained remediation; the December 2025 pressure ulcer and infection control deficiencies uncorrected at visit signal continued operational vulnerability in core care domains.

The 5-Star Medicare Rating listed in operational data contrasts distinctly with this per-inspection track record and warrants direct clarification from administrators about the basis for that rating and the current remediation status of December 2025 deficiencies.

The facility provides post-acute and skilled nursing care with rehabilitation, memory care, and specialized services. Private pay is required; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted. Nursing hours averaged 3 percent below the Oregon state benchmark.

Families should ask about corrective actions implemented in response to the September 2024 nine-deficiency inspection and the December 2025 five-deficiency inspection and require on-site verification of sustained implementation.

Overview of Porthaven Post Acute

Porthaven Post Acute is a 99-bed post-acute skilled nursing and memory care facility at 5330 NE Prescott Street, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, 5.6 miles from downtown. Operated by Porthaven SNF Healthcare, LLC, the community provides 24-hour skilled nursing with rehabilitation, memory care, therapy and assessment services six to seven days weekly, case management, discharge planning, and specialized programs including joint replacement and orthopedic rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation with CHF protocol, fall prevention, pulmonary care, post-operative care, pain management, infusion therapy, vascular wound management, renal disease services, tracheostomy care, cancer recovery, bariatric care, LVAD support, and palliative and hospice care. The facility holds a 4-Star Quality Measures Medicare Rating.

The regulatory record documents critical and escalating failures in resident safety, care quality, and fundamental operational systems. Over two years, Porthaven logged 36 deficiencies, averaging 18 annually, 169 percent above Oregon’s 6.7-deficiency benchmark.

An April 8, 2024, focused infection control survey identified one COVID-19 NHSN reporting deficiency with potential for more than minimal harm. A May 13, 2024, complaint investigation documented four deficiencies in failure to maintain adequate staffing to meet resident care needs timely. Multiple residents reported delays and lack of assistance. Staff reported chronic understaffing and high workload.

An August 30, 2024, complaint investigation revealed four deficiencies, the most serious being failure to protect a resident from sexual abuse by another resident, accompanied by failures in care planning, grievance follow-up, discharge notification, bed hold policy, assessment accuracy, ADL care, quality of care, fall prevention, respiratory care, therapy services, hospice coordination, infection control, hand hygiene, and nurse call systems. An April 9, 2025, complaint investigation cited five deficiencies spanning wound assessment documentation, infection control, Ombudsman notification, bed hold policy, resident assessment accuracy, antibiotic treatment timeliness, nail care provision, fall prevention, nurse call system function, physical therapist employment, hospice coordination, and hand hygiene and PPE protocols. An April 16, 2025, complaint investigation documented four deficiencies including failure to protect a resident from physical abuse by another resident resulting in injury and prolonged pain, infection control failures, failure to employ physical therapist, and care planning and abuse prevention deficiencies. An August 7, 2025, complaint investigation identified four deficiencies: inappropriate discharge of a resident to a home with no running water, rats, and no heat; failure to include primary physician in discharge planning.

The resident subsequently required placement in another skilled facility. An October 13, 2025, complaint investigation found no deficiencies. A December 8, 2025, complaint investigation revealed ten deficiencies in resident and family grievance response, environmental safety and comfort, activities programming, quality of care, mobility maintenance, accident hazard supervision, food sanitation, and administrative rules.

The cumulative pattern is striking: two resident-on-resident abuse incidents (sexual abuse August 2024, physical abuse April 2025) with documented injury; chronic staffing inadequacy resulting in unmet resident needs and delayed response times; unsafe discharge to uninhabitable housing; widespread infection control violations including hand hygiene and PPE protocol failures; and systemic failures in care planning, documentation, assessment accuracy, and safety systems.

The 4-Star Quality Measures Medicare Rating listed in facility data contrasts sharply with this per-inspection record and requires direct clarification from administrators regarding assessment basis and current corrective status.

The facility provides post-acute and skilled nursing care with rehabilitation, memory care, and specialized services. Private pay is required; Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.

Families must not proceed with placement without obtaining complete incident reports from the August 2024 sexual abuse, April 2025 physical abuse, and August 2025 unsafe discharge cases; reviewing comprehensive corrective action documentation; speaking directly with current residents or families; and requesting independent verification of corrective measure implementation from facility administrators and state licensing authorities.
