Overview of California Care Center

N & R Of California, Inc handles operations at California Care Center, a 60-bed skilled nursing facility located at 1106 South Oak Street in California, Missouri. The administrative team structures billing across conventional avenues like Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For family visits, the surrounding layout scores 61 out of 100 for walkability, meaning the grid is moderately pedestrian-friendly, so guests can manage a few basic tasks on foot while a vehicle remains necessary for longer trips.

This operational timeframe indicates a business pattern that balances standard long-term clinical care with short-term post-hospital therapy. To monitor daily recovery and routine treatments, the continuous 24-hour staffing schedule delivers an average of 3 hours and 15 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day, utilizing a combined rotation of registered nurses, practical nurses, and aides.
