  • $171,234 in federal fines

Our read on Signature Health Of Portland Rehab & Wellness Cent

Signature Health of Portland runs 112 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover tells a harder story than the hours alone, 67.9% of staff leaving annually against a 45.8% national rate means aides and nurses are cycling through constantly, which matters most for residents who need consistent hands. The inspection record backs that up: 24 deficiencies, including 9 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with five fines totaling $171,234 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. That combination, thin weekend coverage, high turnover, serious deficiencies, is what a family should weigh before choosing here.
