MARQUIS AUTUMN HILLS MEMORY CARE
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Marquis Autumn Hills Memory Care has a Trust Grade of D, indicating below-average performance with some concerns about care quality. In Oregon, the facility ranks #59 out of 127, placing it in the top half of nursing homes in the state, and #6 out of 9 in Washington County, meaning only two local options are better. The facility is improving, having reduced issues from 7 in 2024 to just 1 in 2025. Staffing is a relative strength with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars and a low turnover rate of 27%, which is significantly below the state average. Notably, there have been no fines recorded, suggesting compliance with regulations. However, there are serious incidents to consider. One resident experienced prolonged pain due to a delayed diagnosis of a hip fracture that went unrecognized for 31 days after a fall. Additionally, there were concerns about medication safety, as one medication cart was found unlocked, creating a risk of misuse, and infection control protocols were not properly implemented for residents with special needs. While there are strengths in staffing and compliance, these specific incidents raise valid concerns that families should weigh when considering this facility for their loved ones.
