Oregon: CMS Rating Breakdown
Oregon is home to 128 CMS-certified nursing homes, according to current federal data. The state's nursing home sector is dominated by for-profit operators, which account for 109 of the facilities. Non-profit organizations operate 15 homes, while government entities run 4.
Across these facilities, the average Five-Star overall rating stands at 3.11 out of 5. The Five-Star rating system, while informative as a broad indicator of facility performance, has documented limitations and should not be treated as a definitive assessment of any individual home's quality. These ratings are relative measures rather than absolute verdicts on facility operations.
Prospective residents and families should recognize that a state-level average provides limited insight into specific facilities. When making substantive decisions about nursing home placement, the appropriate next step is to review individual facility profiles on the CMS Care Compare website, which provides live, detailed information specific to each home. These per-facility pages offer granular data on staffing, deficiencies, complaints, and quality metrics that are far more relevant to individual circumstances than state-level statistics.
It is important to note that Five-Star ratings do not constitute medical, financial, or legal advice. Decisions regarding nursing home selection should incorporate multiple sources of information and, when appropriate, consultation with medical, financial, or legal professionals.
How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
