Avamere Rehabilitation of Cascade Park sits over at 801 SE Park Crest Ave in Vancouver, Washington, and offers specialized healthcare, skilled nursing, and a focus on recovery and rehabilitation with a total of 88 certified beds. The facility is part of the Avamere network and operates as a for-profit company with direct and indirect ownership by Ariso LLC, Ari Operations LLC, Avamere Group LLC, and Karl Miller, and management runs through Avamere Living, so there's a corporate structure with oversight and routine state and federal inspections. There've been 35 deficiencies noted in inspections, including ones involving pharmacy services, pressure ulcer care, and several infection-related issues, and a complaint report from October 7, 2024, led to another deficiency, which shows the facility is subject to regulatory checks and has areas in need of improvement. Still, staff maintain a reported 4.62 nurse hours per resident per day, which recently earned a 5-star staffing rating on Medicare.gov as of October 2024.
The place is set up for both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation, and you'll find offerings like respite care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, and they try to match services to different needs with a big focus on person-centered and personalized care plans. There are on-site therapy services, including physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy, and the therapy gym comes with on-site therapists who use things like E-stim/TENS, ultrasound, diathermy, and heat or ice, so people coming out of hospital stays or with mobility needs can find help with strength, balance, and movement, while speech therapy helps with swallowing and communication. Wound care, palliative care, pain management, IV therapy, and dialysis coordination are available, plus there are connections to outside providers for things like hospice care, dental, podiatry, orthotics and prosthetics, and optometry. Residents benefit from a variety of social and recreational programs, regular wellness checks, and activities that include scheduled musical performances, and the staff keeps a family-like environment that focuses on residents' individuality.
Rooms have safety features, nurse call buttons, air-conditioning, wheelchair-accessible showers, high-speed internet, a kitchenette, and cable or satellite TV. The dining rooms offer family-style meals in a comfortable setting, and amenities are designed for comfort and easy living. The multiple-story building has a community layout that makes moving around straightforward, and the environment promotes independence by supporting daily living abilities. The facility's Kaiser preferred status means Kaiser professionals are on-site five days a week, so continuity in medical care is possible. While the facility points to quality healthcare and personalized support, anyone interested should take time to review state and federal reports, look at deficiency findings, take a home tour, and ask questions before making any care decisions for themselves or someone they know.
