FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the facility's quality of care. It ranks #113 out of 127 nursing homes in Oregon, placing it in the bottom half of facilities statewide, and #7 of 8 in Marion County, meaning there is only one local option that performs worse. Although the trend shows improvement-issues decreased from 26 in 2024 to 13 in 2025-there are still alarming deficiencies, with 49 total issues found during inspections, including critical failures in infection control and resident safety. Staffing is rated average with a turnover rate of 73%, which is concerning compared to the state average of 49%, and while RN coverage is average, the facility has incurred $132,368 in fines, higher than 92% of Oregon facilities. Specific incidents include a failure to properly manage residents with c-diff, risking widespread infection, and a resident suffering third-degree burns from contact with a heater due to unsafe environmental conditions. Families should carefully consider both the improving trend and the serious issues present at this facility.

About This Facility
What is French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER an overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars, which is considered much below average nationally. Within Oregon, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. A rating at this level reflects concerns identified through health inspections, staffing assessments, or quality measures that families should carefully consider.
How is French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Staffed?
CMS rates FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER's staffing level at 3 out of 5 stars, which is average compared to other nursing homes. Staff turnover is 73%, which is 26 percentage points above the Oregon average of 46%. High turnover can affect care consistency as new staff learn residents' individual needs. RN turnover specifically is 100%, which is notably high. RNs provide skilled clinical oversight, so turnover in this role can affect medical care quality.
What Have Inspectors Found at French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center?
State health inspectors documented 49 deficiencies at FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 Immediate Jeopardy (the most serious level, indicating potential for serious harm or death), 1 that caused actual resident harm, and 46 with potential for harm. Immediate Jeopardy findings are rare and represent the most serious regulatory concerns. They require immediate corrective action.
Who Owns and Operates French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center?
FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & 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 VOLARE HEALTH, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 80 certified beds and approximately 48 residents (about 60% occupancy), it is a smaller facility located in WOODBURN, Oregon.
How Does French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Compare to Other Oregon Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in Oregon, FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER's overall rating (1 stars) is below the state average of 3.0, staff turnover (73%) is significantly higher than the state average of 46%, and health inspection rating (1 stars) is much below the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "What changes have been made since the serious inspection findings, and how are you preventing similar issues?" "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "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?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's Immediate Jeopardy citations and the facility's high staff turnover rate.
Is French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER has documented safety concerns. Inspectors have issued 2 Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Oregon. Families considering this facility should ask detailed questions about what corrective actions have been taken since these incidents.
Do Nurses at French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Stick Around?
Staff turnover at FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER is high. At 73%, the facility is 26 percentage points above the Oregon average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?
Was French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Ever Fined?
FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER has been fined $132,368 across 2 penalty actions. This is 3.8x the Oregon average of $34,403. Fines at this level are uncommon and typically indicate a pattern of serious deficiencies, repeated violations, or failure to correct problems promptly. CMS reserves penalties of this magnitude for facilities that pose significant, documented risk to resident health or safety. Families should request specific documentation of what issues led to these fines and what systemic changes have been implemented.
Is French Prairie Nursing & Rehabilitation Center on Any Federal Watch List?
FRENCH PRAIRIE NURSING & 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.
