Info below is compiled from the CA Dept. of Social Services (CDSS), senior community websites & trusted data sources such as Walk Score & BBB.

Communities are listed from highest-ranked to lowest-ranked based on our methodology.

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. RESC (Residential Care): Personal care and daily-living support in a smaller, more intimate residential setting. 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. SC (Senior Care):
City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
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.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
A complaint visit is an unannounced on-site visit by California's Community Care Licensing Division to investigate a complaint about the community, filed by a resident, a family member, staff or anyone else. A visit means a complaint was looked into, not that it was proven: the state may find it substantiated, inconclusive or unfounded. Fewer visits is better.
Count of California state "Type A" citations — the state's most serious citation category (immediate or serious harm to residents), from California state inspection data.
Number of years the company has been in operation.
Reported or derived occupancy for the facility—typically how fully licensed capacity is utilized. Compare across peers in the same market.
Better Business Bureau grade for the operating company. Reflects complaint handling and business practices, not clinical care quality.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
Housing or bed configuration options (e.g. studio, shared), often from facility-reported amenities and licensing details.

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.
