Sudden Closure: Sandy Senior Care Facility Forces Residents Out with Minimal Notice

The Oregon Department of Human Services suspended the license of Mt. Hood Senior Living, a residential and mental care facility in Sandy, due to serious violations posing an imminent danger to residents' health and safety. Following the suspension, all residents were abruptly evacuated, causing distress and concern among families. Violations included inadequate perimeter fencing, unsanitary kitchen conditions, medication mismanagement, and failure to monitor residents, leading to serious risks and harm. Families expressed shock and worry over the sudden evacuation and lack of communication from ODHS, while the facility plans to appeal the suspension.
