Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
New residents most often arrive under Medicare (47% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 months.
Avamere Rehabilitation of Coos Bay is a skilled nursing community of 92 beds on Koos Bay Boulevard in Coos Bay, Oregon, a very walkable neighborhood where most errands are doable on foot. Operating for 19 years, the home owned by Gretchen Stauffer accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. This gives families numerous ways to afford short-term rehabilitation and longer-term skilled nursing care.
The facility spotlights rehabilitation, with therapies and short and long-term care programs anchored by a doctor on staff and 24-hour nursing care. Daily nursing support averages 4 hours 23 minutes per resident, providing consistent hands-on attention. This level of staffing indicates a focus on direct resident care, valuable for those convalescing from surgery or hospitalization or handling active medical needs. The average stay duration of roughly 76 days mirrors a typical nursing home mix of post-acute rehabilitation residents alongside those requiring extended care. The facility currently operates at about 52 percent occupancy, with 48 residents housed. Daily life includes restaurant-style dining with an in-room meals option, a beauty salon, and 24-hour staff on hand to tend to residents’ needs. The community’s walkable location means families can visit on foot and explore nearby amenities and services in the surrounding neighborhood.
State inspections have focused on care quality, infection prevention, respiratory care, medication management, and safety practices. Avamere Rehabilitation of Coos Bay works to address any findings and finishes follow-up surveys to demonstrate correction.
Avamere Rehabilitation of Coos Bay is administered by Jeffrey Aronson.
In Oregon, the Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities performs unannounced surveys and regular inspections to ensure resident safety in all care settings.
