Our editorial team analyzed 100 nursing homes in OR using CMS data, inspection records, complaints, amenities, and facility-level details. How we rank nursing homes in OR
Info below is compiled from CMS reports & the OR Dept. of Human Services (ODHS), senior community websites & trusted data sources such as Walk Score & BBB.
Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This TableAL (Assisted Living):
Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing.
NH (Nursing Home):
24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs.
SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility):
Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness.
MC (Memory Care):
Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
RC (Respite Care):
Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break.
HOS (Hospice Care):
Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
PC (Palliative Care):
Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Oregon average is: 49.5% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Cascade Terrace Post Acute sits in outer Southeast Portland at 5601 SE 122nd Avenue, a 105-bed skilled nursing and palliative care community operated by Cascade Terrace Snf Healthcare, LLC under administrator Blake Epp. With a Walk Score of 10, transportation to and from this location will require a car or arranged service for virtually all trips. Occupancy is 56%, and the average resident stay runs 78 days — numbers that point to a facility serving a mix of short-stay rehabilitation admissions and longer-term residents.
Therapy runs six to seven days a week., and beyond 24-hour skilled nursing, short-term rehab, hospice, and palliative care, the facility carries programs covering joint replacement and orthopedic rehabilitation, stroke and cardiac rehabilitation with CHF protocol, fall prevention, pulmonary care, post-operative care, pain management, infusion therapy, vascular wound management, renal and digestive disease services, cancer recovery, and bariatric care.

Private and semi-private rooms are available alongside transportation assistance and a monthly activities calendar. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted.
State inspections have touched on medication management, infection control, staffing credentials, care planning and documentation, and resident rights. The Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities is the regulatory authority.
Cascade Terrace Post Acute is a high-acuity post-acute facility in Portland’s outer southeast with a notably broad clinical program list, LVAD support capability, and 24-hour nursing coverage — a combination that positions it for residents with complex, medically intensive care needs requiring more than standard rehabilitation services.

In Newberg, OR, Chehalem Post Acute is licensed for palliative care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. A licensed nurse is working whatever time it happens to be. Residential care handles a resident whose nursing attention and daily help needs have no end date.
Palliative care aims at comfort and symptom control for someone with a serious illness. There are 84 beds, and private rooms among the choices.
The named programs run long with joint replacement and orthopedic rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation on a CHF protocol, fall prevention and balance programs, pulmonary care, post-operative care, and pain management. That cardiac focus matters because activity progression after a heart event has to be supervised rather than attempted alone at home.
Transportation assistance exists for a resident who needs help getting somewhere. Medicare, Medicaid, and private funds each apply to eligible residents. Nursing time tallies 5 hours and 27 minutes per resident daily. Trevor Park administers the community, and Chehelam Snf Healthcare operates it.

Overview of Curry Village Health and Rehab of Cascadia
Curry Village Health and Rehab of Cascadia, in Brookings, OR, carries skilled nursing and nursing home care. Licensed nursing is available whatever hour a resident needs it. Rehabilitation services work on recovery and on getting function back, as part of the care plan.
Somebody who needs ongoing nursing and rehabilitation at once is who that combination was built for. Fifty-nine beds are under the license, and Medicare, Medicaid, and personal funds each pay for skilled nursing care.
Jacklyn Stowe is the administrator, and Brookings of Cascadia operates the community. Staffing holds through the day and the night both. Nursing time spreads to 5 hours and 15 minutes per resident across a day.
South Hills Rehabilitation Center is a nursing home and skilled nursing community in Eugene, Oregon. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while the nursing home offers long term care for residents who need ongoing support.
Short term rehabilitation gives residents a setting for recovery after an illness, injury or hospital stay. Respite care provides a temporary stay when a usual caregiver needs time away. The center has 110 beds, and its services also include hospice care for residents receiving end of life support.
Rehabilitation services allow residents to receive recovery focused care as part of their stay, while 24 hour staffing means assistance is available at any time. The combination of short term rehabilitation, long term care, hospice and respite care may suit a resident whose needs range from recovery to ongoing support, or a family caregiver who needs a brief break.
Medicare can apply to short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid can help cover a longer stay for eligible residents, and private pay allows families to pay directly. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 17 minutes per resident per day, representing the recorded daily nursing time allocated to each resident.
Emily Murer serves as administrator, and Volare Health operates the center.
Tigard Rehabilitation and Care, located at 14145 SW 105th Avenue in Tigard, Oregon, is a 112-bed facility designed to handle a wide spectrum of health needs. Operated by Sapphire At Tigard Rehab, LLC and led by administrator Jeffrey Zheng, the center covers everything from standard skilled nursing to memory care, hospice, palliative, and respite support. This flexibility is helpful because it allows residents to stay in one place, even when their medical needs shift over time. If you’re looking at the location, it has a Walk Score of 35; while you can handle some errands on foot, having a car is definitely useful for the 1.8-mile drive to the city center.
Right now, the facility is operating at 35% capacity, with 39 of its 112 beds occupied. The average stay is about 75 days, which signals that many people utilize this space for short-term recovery or as a bridge back home after a hospital stay, rather than as a permanent long-term living arrangement. To fit that focus, they offer specific programs like Post-Hospital Transitional Living, Rehabilitation, In-Home Care, and other specialized health services.
Staffing is, of course, the heart of any care facility. On average, residents here receive 6 hours and 3 minutes of total nursing care daily. This breaks down into 26 minutes from registered nurses, 1 hour from LPNs or LVNs, and 3 hours and 58 minutes of support from nurse aides. On weekends, the care remains consistent at 5 hours and 5 minutes per resident per day. Additionally, there”s an active resident council that meets regularly, which is a great way for residents to have a real say in their daily environment.
State inspections at this facility focus heavily on protecting resident rights and ensuring safety protocols are followed.
Financially, the facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private payments. For families seeking a balance of high staffing hours and comprehensive clinical support, ranging from memory care to end-of-life needs, Tigard Rehabilitation and Care offers a solid, well-equipped option with plenty of space available.
Myrtle Point Rehabilitation and Care runs seven care types in Myrtle Point, OR: assisted living, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, respite care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. With 35 beds, this is a small building and, at that size, staff learn a resident’s routine rather than their chart. Assisted living handles bathing and dressing, and medication management, while the apartment stays the resident’s own.
Memory care is a secured setting with supervision, and what usually brings a family to it is the discovery that the front door has become a hazard. Licensed nursing runs on every shift inside the nursing home. Hospice and palliative care take end-of-life needs and symptom relief, one after cure has stopped being the aim, the other alongside treatment that continues.
Respite is booked for a short stretch when the usual caregiver needs time elsewhere. Care levels that step up inside one location suit a resident whose needs grow. Therapy happens in-house, so no rehabilitation appointment turns into a drive out.
A Transitional Independent Living program is named here for residents working back toward living on their own. Daily nursing sums to 5 hours and 53 minutes per resident. A Walk Score of 62 means the nearest block or two are workable on foot, and almost nothing past them is. That distinction is important for residents who have stopped driving.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the payment options. Medicare covers skilled weeks following a hospital stay rather than a permanent address, and Medicaid reaches past the point where savings stop. Novi Ridjab administers the community for Sapphire at Myrtle Point.
Every nursing home above is evaluated across five weighted categories using CMS data including Care Compare, Payroll-Based Journal, and Medicare Cost Reports. Rank badges compare each home against other nursing homes in the same state — never against assisted living, memory care, or independent living communities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Oregon
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Oregon?
Assisted living in Oregon is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Oregon Medicaid cover nursing home care?
Yes — Oregon Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.
What is nursing home care?
Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.
How many nursing homes are listed on this page?
This page features 100 nursing homes in Oregon. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right nursing home in Oregon?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Oregon, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Oregon?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
If you move into a community through us, that community may pay us a referral fee. This never changes your cost or which options we recommend. Learn more
