Questions to ask before you visit.

A short pre-tour checklist tailored to Battle Creek Memory Care's record and state requirements.

01 /

The facility holds an Oregon DHS Memory Care Endorsement and has 34 inspection reports on file with 27 deficiencies cited — can you provide copies of the corrective action plans submitted to Oregon DHS for those 27 deficiencies and explain how the facility tracks compliance?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

02 /

Twenty-nine complaints were filed with Oregon DHS during the inspection period on file — were any of those complaints substantiated, and can you share documentation of the facility's response and any changes made as a result?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.

03 /

The most recent inspection was January 29, 2026 — can you show families the written findings from that visit and confirm whether all cited deficiencies have been corrected and verified by the state?

Ask the operator on tour. Take notes and compare answers across facilities you visit.
