Nursing homes across Umatilla County, Oregon, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Regency Hermiston runs about 4.91 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, which earns it a 4-star staffing rating. But that cushion thins on weekends, when hours drop about 17% below the facility's own weekday level, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. Turnover sits at 44.7%, essentially matching the national average of 45.8%. The current inspection record carries 29 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, along with 2 fines totaling $59,777; the most recent inspection was April 11, 2025. This is a corporately owned, 105-bed home where strong weekday staffing is offset by a crowded, sometimes serious deficiency history.
Milton Freewater Health and Rehabilitation runs 5.34 nursing hours per resident per day, well above the 3.86 national average, and its staff turnover of 34.1% is lower than the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both signs of a stable, well-manned floor. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and a record of 26 deficiencies including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was January 2026. Corporate ownership and a single $8,278 fine round out a picture of a home that's adequately staffed but has had real compliance problems worth asking about directly.
If you're weighing Willowbrook Post Acute for someone you love, the numbers raise real questions. State inspectors cited 43 deficiencies, including 7 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and the home carries $80,796 in federal fines. Staff turnover sits at 52.9%, above the 45.8% national average, and CMS rates staffing just 1 out of 5 stars, meaning the people providing daily care change often and there may not be enough of them. A 1-star health inspection score and a recent August 2025 visit confirm the problems are current, not old history, even though quality measures rate a middling 3.
