Overview of St. John of God Retirement

St. John of God Retirement operates a 40-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility in South Los Angeles, licensed continuously since 1989 under church operation.

The 2-story facility at 2468 S St Andrews Pl serves Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay residents in a highly walkable neighborhood (Walk Score 81). Administrator Mary Arjene Aguirre oversees a community with 78% occupancy (31 occupied beds) and an average resident stay of 414 days; resident census breaks down as 60.5% Medicaid, 26.5% private pay, and 12.9% Medicare, reflecting a long-term care orientation rather than short-stay rehabilitation.

The facility holds a 1-star CMS overall rating, with 1-star designations for both health inspection (68.3% below state average) and staffing (42.0% below state average).

The most recent routine inspection, conducted December 5, 2025, documented 19 deficiencies spanning care planning, medication management, respiratory care, infection control, and supervision gaps. Multiple complaint investigations from March 2024 through March 2025 substantiated failures including delayed injury reporting (exceeding 2-hour state requirements), inadequate resident supervision resulting in falls and fractures, substantiated abuse allegations, and incomplete care plans.

The facility’s registered nurse staffing stands at 16 minutes per resident per day, 59% below California average; while average nursing shift length is 5.7 hours, 26% below state norms.

Financial data shows a $1.75 million operating deficit in 2023 alongside $124,000 in federal penalties assessed through May 2024: three civil money penalties ($95,000, $15,000, and $14,000) plus one 45-day Medicare/Medicaid payment denial.

Quality outcome measures indicate 22.9% of long-stay residents experience increased activities of daily living dependency (versus 11.1% California average) and 5.0% develop urinary tract infections (versus 1.2% state average).

St. John of God presents a stark case of regulatory decline, poor staffing efficiency, and deteriorating quality outcomes. The 1-star ratings across all CMS domains are the most significant signal; this is a below-average facility by multiple independent measures.

Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.
