Overview of Artesia Christian Home

Artesia Christian Home offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Artesia, CA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily tasks. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Several care levels are available in one community, which may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. The home has 143 beds and opened in 1951. Michelle Robison serves as the administrator.

Payment options include Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families different ways to cover care based on eligibility and personal resources. Total nurse staffing is 5h 43m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Rehabilitation services, short-term rehab, and respite care are available, with respite providing a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Programs include LifeLoop, Eldergrow, volunteer opportunities, and a Women’s Auxiliary. An 85 / 100 Walk Score means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

This profile shows two inspection records, and their totals often differ. Inspection History and the Inspection Scorecard below are state data — the figures the state publishes and the state inspection reports we hold on file — covering the entire facility. CMS Health Inspection History covers only this home's Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing beds, from federal certification surveys.

Inspection History

In California, the Department of Social Services (for assisted living facilities) and the Department of Public Health (for nursing homes) conduct inspections to ensure resident safety and regulatory compliance.

ALM Inspection Grade

82 / 100 Combined grade: CMS inspection data for this community's nursing-home beds and California inspection data for its state-licensed beds, weighted by bed count

How the two records combine

Nursing-home beds (CMS) · 32% of the grade D- · 60/100

22 points below the California average for CMS-certified facilities (82/100).

66 certified beds, 32% of the grade. Graded with CMS-certified facilities on the national scale.

Citations Concern

219 severity-weighted points (47 citations) · 2× higher than the typical CMS-certified CA facility (median: 95)

Enforcement Concern

$98,079 in fines · 2 enforcement actions

Persistence Concern

37 days to fix issues · slower than the typical CMS-certified CA facility (median: 25)

California state-licensed beds · 68% of the grade A- · 92/100

9 points above the California average for state-licensed facilities (83/100).

143 licensed beds, 68% of the grade. Graded with California state-licensed facilities on the California scale.

Serious citations Typical

1 serious citation in 9 inspections

Moderate citations Strong

0 moderate citations per inspection · better than the typical state-licensed CA facility (median: 0.15)

Complaint visits Typical

0.7 complaint visits per 100 resident beds (1 across 143 beds) · 91% fewer than the typical state-licensed CA facility (median: 7.9)

How the final grade is calculated B- · 82/100

60 × 32% + 92 × 68% = 82 / 100

The two grades are combined in proportion to the beds each record covers: 66 CMS-certified nursing-home beds (32%) and 143 California state-licensed beds (68%). The result, 82 out of 100, is a B- on the same scale every ALM Inspection Grade uses.
