Medicare lists Cascade Park Care Center as a five-star nursing facility

Cascade Park Care Center, a nursing and rehab facility located at 801 Southeast Park Crest Ave. in Vancouver, was recently listed as a five-star nursing facility under the ratings system used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The CMS ratings system is designed to assist the public in choosing care. It calculates the ratings based on results of health inspections, staffing and quality measures (including pain management, pressure ulcers, weight loss and number of medications used).

“This is an important achievement because, working together, the staff has received the validation of excellence from a federal agency,” said Janice Bottemiller, executive director.

Cascade Park Care Center is one of 17 skilled nursing and rehab facilities in Washington managed or operated by Life Care Centers of America.
