In Scappoose, OR, Avalon Care Center Scappoose is licensed for hospice care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. A resident who wakes at four in the morning finds a nurse already awake. Hospice takes over when the family’s questions shift from what happens next to whether she is comfortable right now. Respite runs short, booked around a caregiver’s trip or recovery.
Forty beds make this a small building. That small size shows up as something like an aide noticing changes to a resident’s routine, because it is the same aide serving the person every day. So, the place fits somebody needing nursing at any hour, or a family arranging cover for a stretch.
Speech, occupational, and physical therapy are here alongside rehabilitation services and restorative therapy. Bariatric care programming addresses residents who need that support. An on-site registered dietitian handles nutrition, and a beauty salon means salon services without leaving the building.
Medicaid is the payment route, available once a resident qualifies for the program. 5 hours and 16 minutes of nursing reach each resident daily. Robert Mckenna is the administrator.
