The short answer
Record last released by Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities on Nov 2, 2026. We couldn’t read Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities’ list since Nov 2, 2026; this record is as of then.
- 25 substantiated violations in the last three years Middle in Multnomah County: 6
- 5 at the state’s most serious level, in three years (needs attention)
- 78 beds, its licensed capacity
Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.
What these words mean6
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
- The state’s most serious level
- Each state grades findings on its own scale and in its own words, so the record counts a state’s findings at that state’s top level. Two states’ top levels aren’t the same thing, so the counts aren’t compared across states. Source: How this site reads each state’s scale.
- Accepts Medicaid
- The state’s own list says the place takes part in a Medicaid program (a waiver, a contract or a program like Illinois’s supportive living) that can pay for care for people who qualify. Source: Each state’s list.
- Licence status
- Whether the state’s licence lets the place operate now, in the state’s own words: licensed, on probation (allowed to keep operating on conditions, after problems), provisional, pending or expired. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
- Capacity
- The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.
