Our read on Highland House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Highland House runs 119 certified beds in Grants Pass under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. But that average hides a drop: weekend coverage runs about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours aren't spread evenly across the week. Annual turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. The current inspection record is the heavier concern: 70 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. CMS fined the home once for $36,852, and its most recent inspection was December 3, 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection history is where the problems concentrate.
