Columbia Basin Care

Columbia Basin Care sits in The Dalles, Oregon, and serves as a community-owned, non-profit nursing facility with both short-stay rehabilitation and long-term care services. The building holds 90 beds in total, with 73 set aside for skilled nursing and long-term care, offering both private and semi-private rooms for residents, and features a large courtyard, a park, a garden, and even a golf course outdoors, so people can get fresh air or gather with friends and family. The staff follows a team approach, pulling in physicians, nurses, and therapists to create and carry out personalized rehabilitation plans, while certified floor staff, certified nursing assistants, and licensed practical nurses provide care day and night. The therapy gym's a good size, and they've stocked it with tools like a full kitchen, washer and dryer, and equipment for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, which they use for both rehab and chronic condition programs, including things like Stand Strong. Their rehab team uses up-to-date technology and works on therapies that help with daily life, so people can focus on what matters most after illness or surgery. The care covers ICU, Med Surg, ER, and chronic condition needs, and they've got PRN, per diem, and on-signup shifts for staff to fill gaps, along with a platform for posting, scheduling, and credential management, making sure staff stay certified and shifts stay covered. Their team keeps things safe, prepares fresh and healthy meals each day, runs social services, and holds daily activities and events listed in a calendar to keep people engaged, because they believe keeping busy and connecting with others helps residents stay happy. Columbia Basin Care takes part in advocacy, supports the community with resources like case studies, blogs, and newsletters, and belongs to a chamber that keeps a directory and member login, always working to improve the lives of those they serve.
