Understanding Our Trust Score System

- Health Inspection Results — Recent deficiencies, their severity, and patterns over time

- Penalties — Fines, payment denials, and enforcement actions

1 La Grande facilities exceed CMS staffing recommendations. Families prioritizing staffing should look for facilities with the "Top Staffing" badge and ask specifically about RN hours during facility visits.
Ownership: An All For-Profit Market
La Grande has no non-profit nursing homes—all 1 facility with reported ownership data are for-profit operations. 1 of 1 facility is chain-owned, meaning these facilities are part of larger corporate systems rather than independently operated.
