Inspection Report Summary for Avamere at Hermiston
The most recent inspection on July 30, 2025, found deficiencies related to kitchen sanitation, including food spills, dirt, grease buildup, needed repairs, lack of testing strips, and uncovered garbage cans. Earlier inspections showed a broader range of issues, with the July 22, 2024 re-licensure inspection citing multiple deficiencies involving medication management, staffing, training, fire and life safety, and building maintenance. Prior reports from 2021 through 2023 consistently noted food sanitation deficiencies but did not include other types of issues. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were substantiated. The pattern suggests some ongoing challenges with food sanitation, while other areas showed improvement after the 2024 inspection.
