These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 11 findings, above the OR average of 10.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Life Care Center of Coos Bay receives high praise for its rehabilitation services, friendly staff, and clean environment, particularly from families of short-term rehab patients. However, there are serious, albeit less frequent, concerns regarding medical oversight, communication during health crises, and staffing levels during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy my father has gotten has him steadily improving. Very glad to see he’s getting the help he needs.”
“If you think your loved one is safe and cared for at this facility... Think again. My mother passed away with Covid, pneumonia, flu and sepsis. It took them 2 weeks to get her to the hospital.”
“The Director of Social Services is actively looking for Mom's next residence. The nursing staff does well in taking care of Mom. The business office staff is very helpful in working with Long Term Care insurance.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
