Highland House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Highland House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center in Grants Pass, Oregon has 119 certified beds and offers both long-term and short-term skilled nursing services, with care for daily living and medical needs, so folks get help with bathing, dressing, walking, toileting, and more complex things like wound care, tube feeding, diabetes management, and IV antibiotics, and the place gives extra support with hospice and palliative care if someone needs that, focusing on comfort and managing symptoms with a holistic, supportive approach. The staff also helps with occupational therapy, physical therapy to help regain strength and movement, speech therapy for communication and swallowing issues, and recreational programs to keep people engaged along with arts, crafts, and wellness activities. Nurses provide 4.52 hours of care per resident per day, which is less time than the state average, and the nurse turnover rate at Highland House is higher than other places in Oregon, meaning more new faces might show up compared to what you'd expect somewhere else. The center is run by Volare Health and includes a broad range of services like medication management, transportation to appointments, laundry, housekeeping, and meal services, all managed with safety in mind with 24/7 supervision, and the place has everything from game rooms to a fitness center, WiFi, cable TV, washers, dryers, and even a salon and guest parking for visitors. The rooms have kitchens or kitchenettes, safety features, and sprinklers, and trained staff are always present to help with personal care or emergencies. Highland House has received a total of 65 deficiencies over time, including some concerning infections, pressure ulcer care, accident hazards, residents' rights, and allowing residents to keep personal things, so the people in charge have things to improve for safety and respect, but the staff aims to foster a family-like sense of community, making the daily routines and social side easier for older adults staying there. There's an on-site pharmacy, lab services, and care coordination, so residents can access most care without travel, and the place handles both short stays for recovery from hospital visits and longer-term arrangements with private rooms available for those moving in for a while. Employment opportunities are open, and the leadership includes James Moore, Ashlie Lentz, Jessica Hansen, and Lesa Garney-Cooper, with all the usual senior living services focused on practical support, comfort, and maintaining dignity.
