CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table AL (Assisted Living): Housing with help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, without 24-hour skilled nursing. NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. MC (Memory Care): Secured, specialized care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. IL (Independent Living): Community living with dining, activities, and transportation for active seniors who need little personal care. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The California average is: 60.9% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.

Overview of Angels Nursing Center

Angels Nursing Center provides skilled nursing and nursing home care in Los Angeles, in the Westlake neighborhood. Nursing care is available around the clock, so residents who need ongoing clinical attention can reach staff during the day and overnight. The community has 41 beds. That smaller setting may suit someone who prefers the chance for staff and residents to get to know each other.

Short term rehabilitation and therapy programs support residents recovering from an illness, injury, or medical procedure while they remain at the community. Care includes IV therapy, tube feeding, specialized wound care, diabetic care, dialysis care before and after treatment, and pain management. A restorative nursing assist program supports ongoing care needs. Together, these services may make the community a good fit for someone who needs skilled nursing during recovery or more involved clinical support over time.

Residents can also use the beauty and barber shop, with optometry and dental services available within the community. Family support services can help relatives participate in care, while discharge planning addresses the transition after a stay. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted: Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, and private pay means paying directly for care.

Total nurse staffing is 5 hours 39 minutes per resident per day, representing daily hands on nursing time for each resident. Beatriz Ponce serves as administrator, and Redwood Bakersfield operates the community.

Overview of Grand Park Convalescent Hospital

Grand Park Convalescent Hospital is a nursing home in Los Angeles, in the Westlake neighborhood. It has 151 beds for residents who need ongoing nursing care and support with daily needs.

Residents stay in semi-private or shared rooms, so the arrangement suits someone who is comfortable sharing living space. Nearly all beds were filled at the time measured, with a 97% occupancy rate, so availability may be limited. The home may be a good fit for a resident who needs nursing home support and can live in a shared-room setting.

Families can use Medicare, Medicaid, or private pay to cover care, providing public-benefit or personal-fund options. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 5 minutes per resident per day, which represents the combined nursing time allocated to each resident over a day.

Overview of Hollenbeck Palms

Independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing make up the campus at Hollenbeck Palms in Los Angeles, CA. The skilled nursing and nursing home levels are staffed by licensed nurses for clinical needs. An assisted living apartment remains the resident’s own, while the staff manages dressing, bathing, and medication.

Anyone whose dementia could lead to wandering has memory care, with supervision in a secure space. Independent living brings community services along with a private home, though daily care isn’t part of it.

Sharon Care Center

8167 W 3Rd St, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Overview of Sharon Care Center

Sharon Care Center has been running skilled nursing at 8167 W 3rd St in Los Angeles for 19 years, and at 87.2% occupancy across 86 beds, it’s clearly not sitting empty. The average stay is 96 days, which is the clearest signal of what this place actually is: a post-acute facility where most people come to recover and move on, not a place most residents stay permanently.

The neighborhood scores a 95 on the Walk Score scale, which in LA terms is genuinely rare. Walker’s paradise means pharmacies, food, and daily errands are all on foot; no circling for parking, no rideshare wait, which matters more than it sounds when you’re visiting someone in a nursing facility regularly.

Staffing runs 3 hours and 45 minutes of total nursing care per resident per day, split across registered nurses, LPNs, LVNs, and nurse aides. Ms. Larisa Machneva is the administrator. The care model covers skilled nursing, hospice, and respite stays, so the facility handles both people who are recovering from something acute and people who are at end of life; different populations, same building.

Sharon Care Center takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which covers the main financial pathways families are usually working with when a hospital discharge is driving the timeline.

Taken together, 87.2% occupancy, a 96-day average stay, and all three major payment types accepted show this is a facility that sees steady use and is financially reachable across most coverage situations. For a short-term skilled nursing placement in central LA, the practical barriers here are low.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Los Angeles, CA

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in California?

Assisted living in California is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does California Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — California Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 24 nursing homes in Los Angeles, CA. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Los Angeles, CA?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Los Angeles, CA, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
