Nursing homes across Linn County, Oregon, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Timberline Post Acute runs 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, about 21% above the national average, and its 43.2% turnover is slightly better than the typical American nursing home. Weekends thin out roughly 11% against its own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A February 2026 inspection is recent. Corporate-owned and for-profit, 67 beds.
Avamere Rehabilitation of Lebanon runs on solid staffing numbers, 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 42.3%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, but that's a mild gap in context. Where the picture darkens is inspections: 60 deficiencies on the current record, three tied to abuse and one serious enough to trigger a harm-or-jeopardy finding. The single $20,303 fine and a September 2025 inspection make this a recently reviewed home with a troubled compliance history. For-profit, limited-liability ownership rounds it out. Strong care hours, weak oversight record.
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.
Regency Albany runs 5.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-star rating there. The catch is turnover: 63.2% of staff leave each year against a national average near 46%, and weekend coverage drops about 13% below weekday levels, so the people around your family member keep changing, and weekends run thinner. The inspection record is the harder read: 33 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one $30,911 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. Ownership is a for-profit LLC. The last inspection was March 2026. Strong hours, unsettled workforce, and a documented history worth asking about directly.
Staffing is where Lebanon Veterans Home stands out: 5.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average, with turnover at 35.6% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, so care does thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The catch is the inspection record, 35 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, and a two-out-of-five health inspection rating, though none of the findings rose to actual harm or jeopardy. State-run ownership and a September 2025 inspection mean the record is current. Strong staffing doesn't erase four abuse-related deficiencies; read the inspection reports before deciding.
