Overview of Summerfield Healthcare Center

Santa Rosa, CA, is home to Summerfield Healthcare Center, which includes both skilled nursing and a nursing home. Skilled nursing puts licensed nursing in the building at all hours.

The staffing record across its 70 beds shows 3 hours and 55 minutes of nursing per resident each day. It’s an average across the whole census rather than a schedule for any one person.

When a hospital admission comes first, Medicare may cover the skilled stretch that follows, though not a long-term stay. Families covering the cost themselves can use private pay. It’s a home for someone whose need for clinical support continues over time.
