WINDSOR HEALTH AND REHABILITATION

820 COTTAGE STREET NE, SALEM, OR 97301

Windsor Health and Rehabilitation holds a 3.0 overall rating, yet the data shows they are better than the national average at keeping residents on fewer antipsychotic and sleep medications. However, registered nurse hours are nearly half the national average, meaning critical assessments and oversight are stretched thin, and more than double the national rate of residents suffer falls that cause major injury, indicating a significant safety gap.
