Situated at 534 Boyer Ave in Walla Walla, Washington Odd Fellows Home is a 71-bed nonprofit facility operating at 72% occupancy (51 of 71 beds filled) with a typical length of stay of 175 days.
The community serves a mixed payer population: primarily Medicare-funded short-term rehabilitation admissions, along with Medicaid long-term residents and private-pay patients.
It maintains an active resident council.
Services include skilled nursing, assisted living, rehabilitation, and programming around meals, activities, housekeeping, and laundry delivered through a 3-story building containing studio and 1-bed units.
The facility’s staffing profile falls notably short of state benchmarks. In Q4 2025, 84 total staff members (54 employees, 30 contractors) provided care to 49 residents, yielding a staff-to-resident ratio of 1.71:1; 8% worse than the state average of 1.86:1.
Daily nursing care averaged 3 hours 40 minutes per resident, 16% below the state average. The nursing team comprised 7 RNs, 8 LPNs (including 4 contractors), and 41 CNAs (31 employees, 10 contractors). This staffing structure supported a CMS overall rating of 2 stars (42% below state average), with health inspection and staffing ratings both substantially depressed.
Inspection findings since 2023 reveal a pattern of fire safety noncompliance. A May 2023 life safety inspection cited overdue fire door inspections, sprinkler system testing exceeding 5-year intervals, a newly installed duct completely blocking sprinkler spray pattern, and missing generator documentation. October 2025 identified persisting fire code violations—improper sprinkler head clearance in a resident room and non-self-closing dry storage doors in the kitchen. January 2025 complaint investigation documented improper resident discharge to a homeless shelter unable to provide medication management and ADL assistance; the resident subsequently presented multiple times to the emergency department after the facility declined to readmit them.
Long-stay resident outcomes raise substantial clinical concerns. Depressive symptoms affected 91.8% of long-stay residents; 466% worse than the state average. Hospitalizations occurred at 2.26 per 1,000 resident days (64% above state average), with emergency department visits at 2.52 per 1,000 days (67% above).
The gap between low deficiency counts and these adverse outcomes suggests compliance with regulatory structure has not translated to resident clinical stability.
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.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 27, 2025, identified two fire safety deficiencies related to sprinkler head clearance and dry storage room doors not self-closing. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of fire safety issues, including overdue inspections and blocked sprinkler spray patterns, as well as a substantiated complaint about improper resident discharge to an unsafe location and a failure to provide orientation training to individuals with unsupervised resident access. The main themes of deficiencies involved fire safety compliance and resident discharge procedures, along with staff training on access protocols. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case regarding discharge practices and another about unauthorized access, while most other complaints were not substantiated. The facility has corrected previously cited deficiencies in follow-up inspections, indicating some improvement in compliance over time.
