Our read on Oregon Veterans Home
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.
