Overview of Crystal Ridge Care Center

Crystal Ridge Care Center is a nursing home in Grass Valley, California, offering skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, with both long-term and short-term care available. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while hospice and palliative care focus on end-of-life support, comfort, and symptom relief. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, so the range of care can suit someone seeking short-term rehabilitation or respite now and more structured care if needs change.

Opened in 1987, the center has 99 beds, with a 97% occupancy rate meaning nearly all beds were in use at the time measured. Housing includes studios, one-bedroom accommodations, and two-bedroom accommodations. A studio offers one private living space, while a two-bedroom option may suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Residents can receive therapy within the community through rehabilitation services and a rehabilitation gym. Courtyards provide outdoor areas, and private bathrooms with showers give residents personal bathing space. Programs cover short-term rehabilitation, pain management, complex wound care, nutrition, sub-acute care, hospice services, palliative care, and behavioral health, addressing rehabilitation, symptom management, wound treatment, nutrition, and behavioral health needs.

The area has a Walk Score of 46 out of 100 and is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride; someone who no longer drives would need access to one for routine errands. Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, allowing families to use public coverage when eligible or pay directly. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 52 minutes per resident per day, representing the combined daily nursing time assigned to each resident.
