Creswell Post Acute

Staff turnover
44%
Serious cites
0

Creswell Post Acute runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 76 certified beds, and the staffing is the clearest strength: 5.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's roughly 31% more hands-on time than typical, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 44%, essentially in line with the 45.8% national figure. The tension is in inspections, 50 deficiencies on record, two tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, even though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2026.

Bend Transitional Care runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.79 hours per resident day, roughly 24% above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, where hours dip about 13% below the home's own weekday pace, though the floor stays fairly high. Turnover lands at 43.4%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in June 2025 found 11 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, which paired with a 5/5 inspection rating suggests the problems were paperwork-level rather than resident-safety issues.

Marquis Forest Grove runs a corporate-owned, for-profit home with 63 beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, it's about 40% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see familiar faces. Weekends thin out roughly 10% from weekday coverage. The tradeoff is on the quality side: six deficiencies on record, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was April 2026.

Portland Health And Rehabilitation runs a for-profit corporate operation with 105 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.68 hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 50%, against a national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get serious: 57 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 abuse-related, with one fine of $24,827 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality measures score 4 out of 5 and staffing 4 out of 5, but those inspection numbers, last reviewed February 2026, are what a family should weigh hardest.

Avamere Rehabilitation of Hillsboro runs on a for-profit corporate model with 87 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds: 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, with staff turnover at 33.3% versus the national 45.8%. That consistency matters, though weekend coverage dips about 13% below the home's own weekday level. The trouble sits elsewhere, a 2/5 health inspection rating and 40 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus three fines totaling $58,800. The most recent inspection was May 2026. Strong hands on deck, but a documented pattern of regulatory problems worth asking about directly.
