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.

Overview of Country View Assisted Living

Country View Assisted Living is a 25-bed care home located on West Center Street in Provo, Utah. This single-story building features private rooms for seniors who prefer an intimate residential setting rather than a massive complex. The facility provides long-term assisted living alongside short-term respite care, with certified nursing assistants on-site around the clock, backed by a registered nurse who remains on call.

The house features restaurant-style dining options, a dedicated fitness room, an entertainment space, and an on-site hair salon. Daily services include building maintenance, housekeeping, linen laundry, and consultation services with contracted pharmacy and dietary specialists.

The surrounding area is car-dependent, meaning visitors and residents will generally need a vehicle for standard errands, but the property sits close to downtown Provo with straightforward highway access. State oversight records indicate that past inspections have cited the property for issues concerning facility operations, emergency preparedness plans, and staffing credentials.

Families can schedule an appointment to walk through the single-story layout and meet the caregivers. Visiting the campus provides an opportunity to see the room options firsthand, review the daily activity schedules, and ask the administration how they manage their staffing and safety protocols.
