What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Special Focus Facility

    CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program for a persistent pattern of poor care. These homes get inspected twice as often.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 67%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Cherry Ridge Of Cascadia

Cherry Ridge Of Cascadia runs 40 certified beds in Emmett under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with first: 3.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 13% leaner than its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 66.7% against a 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing, and CMS rates staffing 1 out of 5. The record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025 and a 2/5 inspection rating. Quality measures score 4/5, which suggests some clinical care is being tracked well, but ask directly how they hold staffing steady on weekends.
