Cascades Health and Rehabilitation Center

Cascades Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which puts it at about average nationally. That overall rating is a composite of three separate scores, and in this case those scores tell a pretty mixed story. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning residents here get more nurse time per day than most facilities, which is a real practical plus - it often translates to faster responses, more attentive care, and less time waiting for help. The quality measures rating is a standout 5 stars, the highest possible, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their physical function. That kind of result suggests the care being delivered day-to-day is genuinely working. Where families should pay closer attention is the health inspection rating, which sits at 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found more citations than average, or more serious ones. These inspections look at things like safety protocols, medication management, and whether the facility is following required care standards. A below-average inspection score does not automatically mean a facility is unsafe, but it does mean it is worth asking the facility directly about what was cited and what steps have been taken to address it. The gap between a 5-star quality score and a 2-star inspection score is worth understanding before making a decision.
