PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center has a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns and a poor overall reputation. They rank #96 out of 127 facilities in Oregon, placing them in the bottom half, and #26 out of 33 in Multnomah County, meaning there are only a few local options that are worse. However, the facility is showing improvement, with issues decreasing from 19 in 2024 to just 2 in 2025. Staffing is a strength, earning a 4 out of 5 stars, with turnover at a standard 50%, but the facility has faced serious issues, including failing to assess residents' changing conditions in a timely manner, resulting in untreated pain and hospital visits. Additionally, there were incidents of inadequate RN coverage for several hours, which raises concerns about the quality of care provided.

Who Owns and Operates Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center?
PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by EMPRES OPERATED BY EVERGREEN, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?"
Is Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 2-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oregon. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center Stick Around?
PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER has a staff turnover rate of 50%, which is about average for Oregon nursing homes (state average: 46%).

Was Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center Ever Fined?
PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER has been fined $24,827 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Oregon average of $33,327. While any fine indicates a compliance issue, fines under $50,000 are relatively common and typically reflect isolated problems that were subsequently corrected. Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Portland Health & Rehabilitation Center on Any Federal Watch List?
PORTLAND HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
