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.
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.
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.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Visits or investigations linked to complaints, as counted in the state record (may differ from routine annual surveys).
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.
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.

Overview of Mid-Wilshire Health Care Center

Mid-Wilshire Health Care Center is a two-story nursing home and nursing care community at 676 S Bonnie Brae St in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Best Health Services LLC owns and operates it. The building has been running for 56 years.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. PIH Health Good Samaritan Hospital is less than half a mile away.

There are 80 beds, with 72 currently occupied, putting occupancy at 81.6%. The average stay is 148 days, which puts this community firmly in short-to-medium-term territory rather than long-term placement. Nursing care totals 3 hours and 40 minutes per resident per day: 37 minutes from an RN, 23 minutes from an LPN or LVN, and 2 hours and 21 minutes from a nurse aide.

On the engagement side, a Residents Group and an Active Resident Council are both active and CMS-recognized, meeting regularly on care quality, facility policies, and daily life. Fitness and recreation programming is available.

The Walk Score is 96. That’s Walker’s Paradise territory, and in the Westlake area it’s genuine: the neighborhood is dense, transit-accessible, and walkable for visiting family or staff commuting by bus.

At 56 years of operating history, a sub-half-mile hospital, and Medicare and Medicaid acceptance, Mid-Wilshire has the structural basics for a short-stay rehabilitation or nursing care placement in central Los Angeles.
