Avamere Rehabilitation of Clackamas is a nursing home in Gladstone, Oregon, built to serve short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care. The 87-bed facility has been operating for 25 years, currently at about 50 percent occupancy. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome, providing flexibility for families navigating payment options. The average stay duration is 71 days, denoting a typical mix of post-acute rehabilitation residents and those with active care needs.
The facility leans toward rehabilitation and respite services alongside 24-hour staffing, making it a pragmatic option for someone recuperating from hospitalization or surgery. Daily nursing support averages 5 hours and 20 minutes per resident, combining registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and nurse aides. That level of hands-on care reflects a focus on skilled nursing support. The community offers restaurant-style dining with an in-room meal service option, which fits residents with different preferences and mobility needs. A comprehensive activities calendar engages daily life, and residents benefit from on-site amenities including a beauty salon and private transportation services, decreasing outside appointment needs and making visiting easier for family members. The surrounding area scores 35 on walkability, so some errands may be walkable, but most outings need a quick drive.
State inspections by the Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities have marked concerns regarding care planning, infection control practices, staffing consistency, and specialized dementia care. To tackle findings, the facility works through corrective actions and care plan revisions.
The setting at Avamere Rehabilitation of Clackamas suits residents and families who cherish a quieter neighborhood environment over a busier commercial location. Plus, the in-room meal service option fits those with different mobility requirements and preferences.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Hours per resident per day vs Oregon averages
Total nursing care
This home is ranked 33rd out of 83 homes in Oregon for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
5h 20m
At state avg
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Based on CMS SNF Cost Report for fiscal year ending in 12/2023.
Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
