Substantiated abuse or neglect
- April 18, 2025: Failed to provide safe environment Abuse: Neglect; Level 2 - Minor harm or potential for moderate harm; fine $250.00; report
Rules: 411-054-0025 (Facility Administration); 411-054-0027 (Resident Rights and Protections); 411-054-0028 (Reporting and Investigating Abuse and Other Actions Affecting Resident Welfare); 411-054-0030 (Resident Services); 411-054-0036 (Service Plan – General)State’s findings
Alleged Victim (AV) and Witness 1 (W1) are residents in AP1. On or about April 18, 2025, W1 attacked AV from behind, pushing AV to the floor. While AV was on the ground, W1 repeatedly struck and stabbed AV using a fly swatter and a plastic knife. AV sustained multiple injuries, including scratches, bumps, and discoloration. There is a documented history of W1 targeting AV prior to this incident. W1 had an existing behavior plan specifically addressing this issue. As of February 4, 2025, W1’s service plan directed staff to keep AV and W1 separated. AV did not provoke the incident. The facility failed to follow W1’s service plan and did not take appropriate measures to ensure AV’s safety, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
Substantiated licensing violations
- August 20, 2024: Failed to follow care plan Licensing Violation; Level 2 - Minor harm or potential for moderate harm; report
Rules: 411-054-0025 (Facility Administration); 411-054-0027 (Resident Rights and Protections)State’s findings
The Alleged Victim (AV) relies on the facility for care and is care planned to have a bed alarm in place due to being a fall risk. According to an investigation, on or about August 20, 2024, the Alleged Perpetrator 2 (AP2), provided assistance to AV, and then helped AV back into bed. Approximately 30 minutes later AV was found on the floor after a fall. AV's bed alarm was not going off and it was discovered that AP2 did not turn AV's bed alarm back on after providing initial care, and therefore staff were not alerted that AV had gotten up, resulting in a fall with a fracture. AP2 failed to follow the care plan, which is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse. The facility failed to ensure the care plan was being followed, which is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.
- April 22, 2024: Failed to use an ABST Licensing Violation; Level 2 - Minor harm or potential for moderate harm; report
Rules: 411-054-0037 (Acuity-Based Staffing Tool)State’s findings
The facility failed to implement an approved proprietary Acuity-Based Staffing Tool (ABST). The proprietary currently in use has not been submitted for review and approval by the Department. An investigation determined this is a violation of Oregon Administrative Rules.

ODHS lists only substantiated violations: “either a substantiated instance of abuse or a licensing violation. Open investigations and complaints that are being appealed by the provider are not listed.” Oregon counts neglect as a form of abuse; see the state’s definitions of abuse. Each violation shows the level ODHS gives it, in the state’s words (for example “2 - Minor harm or potential for moderate harm”), and any fine ODHS assessed. Inspection citations show the state’s severity level and scope, and the date ODHS recorded the problem as corrected when it lists one. Rule names come from the Oregon Administrative Rules. ODHS: “Formal regulatory actions can range from a condition placed upon a license due to non-compliance or a notice to revoke a license.” This community is licensed for 40 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.

How Lilisity works. The only scores or rankings Lilisity publishes are the Top Communities list and the Excellence Awards, both built from phone-verified resident and family interviews. Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. How we verify testimonials · How we are paid
