Overview of Avalon Care Center – Scappoose

Facebook

Owned by EEA Company, Avalon Care Center is a newly established nursing facility in Scappoose, Oregon. The 40-bed home specializes in short-term rehabilitation, intermediate care, and respite services for families seeking skilled nursing support close to home.

The facility focuses on recovery and rehabilitation for residents healing after a hospital stay, injury, or illness. It also serves those who need longer-term intermediate nursing care. Respite services are available for families who need temporary support for a loved one. The home also offers specialized bariatric care for residents with complex weight-related health conditions, reflecting a tailored approach to clinical care.

Residents receive an average of 4 hours and 46 minutes of nursing care each day. Registered nurses provide 36 minutes of direct care daily, while nurse aides contribute additional hands-on support. The staffing model supports 24-hour nursing coverage and ongoing clinical oversight for residents who need monitoring and therapeutic care.

Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available on-site. A registered dietitian oversees nutritional care based on each resident’s needs. Through these services, residents can receive rehabilitation support without leaving the facility. Daily activities, group programs, and an on-site beauty salon help support quality of life and social engagement.

The location in Scappoose has a very walkable Walk Score of 75, so many errands and daily needs can be reached on foot. This can make visits easier for family members and support community involvement.

Since opening, the facility has been building its presence in the area and currently operates at about 64% occupancy. It provides a newer skilled nursing option for families seeking rehabilitation and nursing care in the Scappoose community.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

vs avg

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Nurse Aide is +9% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 36m per day ▼ 12% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 51m per day ▼ 6% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 41m per day ▲ 9% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 35m per day ▲ 5% State avg: 4h 23m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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 ▼ 86% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 28m per day ▲ 8% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 28m per day
