Holladay Park Plaza
in Portland, OR, grade A, 96/100.
Holladay Park Plaza runs 5.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds within about 7% of weekday levels, a gap that tends to matter more than families expect, since weekends are when shortfalls usually show up. Staff turnover sits at 32.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents here tend to stay longer than is typical. The 17 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current.
Mirabella Portland runs 44 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing holds level with weekdays, which is not typical, and annual turnover sits at 35.1% against a national 45.8%. Inspections tell a similar story, a 5/5 health inspection rating, most recently surveyed in March 2026, with 8 total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Two of those eight are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.
Fernwood runs on 6.29 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 63% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 11% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. That staffing depth is what lifts its grade despite a mixed inspection record: 22 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a 3/5 inspection rating. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent. With 16 beds and nonprofit ownership, it's small enough that staff consistency matters more than corporate polish. The quality measure rating is 5/5, which suggests residents' clinical outcomes track better than the deficiency count alone would imply.
Rogue Valley Manor runs 6.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 70% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in a 5-out-of-5 staffing star rating from CMS. It's a nonprofit with a 4-star health inspection rating, last inspected April 24, 2025, so the record is recent. Staff turnover sits at 42.1%, slightly better than the national 45.8%.
The catch is 17 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 abuse-related citations, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. Weekend staffing also drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Strong hours, a fresh inspection, and a clean harm record are doing a lot of work here.
Willamette View Health Center in Milwaukie runs just six certified beds, which makes its 10.13 daily nursing hours per resident unusual even before you compare it to the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing slips about 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage stays relatively steady across the week. The home is nonprofit and holds top marks on both health inspections and staffing, with four deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Its last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current rather than dated. What holds it back from a stronger grade is mostly scale and setting, small, clean inspection record, heavy staffing, and no red flags in the data.
Maryville runs 5.52 nursing hours per resident day, about 43% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing depth is the strongest thing it has going. It shows up in the numbers: a 5/5 staffing rating and a 4/5 quality measure rating. But the inspection record pulls the other way, 23 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and $162,828 in fines across two penalties. Weekend coverage also drops about 9% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially identical to the national rate. The April 2025 inspection is recent, so the 3/5 health inspection rating reflects current conditions, not old history.
Cascade Manor runs on 8.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, a striking number for a 32-bed nonprofit home, and one that likely explains why its staffing rating holds at 4 out of 5. The trade-off shows up in its record: 16 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to cite harm or jeopardy, plus one $10,033 fine. Nothing on file involves abuse. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekdays, so care thins out slightly when families tend to visit. The last inspection was April 2026; state surveyors have seen this building recently.
Nurse staffing here runs 4.76 hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average of 3.86, which is the kind of cushion that matters on a bad night. Weekends dip roughly 10% below weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 62.5% against a national 45.8%, so the coverage is generous, but the faces change a lot. On inspections, the home holds a 4/5 star rating with a recent March 2026 survey, though the current record shows 20 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $17,934 in fines across two penalties. No abuse findings appear on record.
Providence Child Center is a small, church-affiliated nonprofit, 58 beds in Portland, and its inspection history looks strong on paper: a perfect 5/5 on health inspections and 4/5 on quality measures. But 13 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus a $13,286 fine, tell you the day-to-day reality hasn't always matched that inspection score. The last visit was September 2025, so the record is recent. With a C grade overall, the numbers suggest a home that gets good marks from surveyors but has had real lapses serious enough to matter. Ask about the abuse citation and what changed since.
Blue Mountain Care Center is small, 40 certified beds, and run by a nonprofit corporation, but its inspection record is the number that stands out: 39 deficiencies on the current record, two of them abuse-related, against a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. The good news is that none of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in October 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Quality measures land at three stars, which is middling. For a family weighing this home, the question isn't whether problems were cited, they were, repeatedly, but whether the nonprofit's leadership has actually corrected them since that fall visit.
Nehalem Valley Care Center runs on a nurse staffing level of 4.78 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and that holds up fairly well on weekends, dipping only about 5% below its own weekday pace. The catch is who's delivering that care: turnover sits at 63.2%, well above the national 45.8%. On paper this nonprofit's 42 deficiencies include none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, and one $16,801 fine is on record. The most recent inspection was in June 2025, so the picture is current, but the 2/5 quality measure rating suggests the day-to-day results don't fully match the staffing numbers.
Oregon Veterans Home in The Dalles runs one of the stronger operations in the state on paper. Nurse staffing sits at 5.03 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, though weekends drop about 14% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're visiting on a Saturday or Sunday. Staff turnover at 41.2% is a bit better than the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. Twelve deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three are abuse-related, so read those inspection reports closely. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current.
Nurse staffing at The Creston runs 0.93 hours per resident day, about a quarter of what you'd see at the typical American nursing home. Nearly every worker who was there a year ago is gone now, with turnover at 95.4% against a national figure under 46%. That churn shows up in the inspection record: 61 deficiencies, four serious enough to cause harm, two tied to abuse, and $122,699 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was February 27, 2026, so the picture is current. Nonprofit ownership hasn't translated into steadier care here, the staffing and quality stars sit at 1 and 2 out of 5. Families considering this one should ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor.
