CMS Nursing Home Care Compare · California

Nursing homes in California

All 1,164 Medicare-certified nursing homes in California — the safety record CMS publishes, in one place you can sort and search.

Before the brochure: look at staffing

The single best-evidenced predictor of safe care is not the marketing — it's nurse hours per resident per day (how much hands-on nursing time each resident actually gets). CMS measures it from payroll. Researchers and CMS point to about 4.1 total nurse hours/resident/day as a staffing-adequacy reference.

In California, the median nursing home reports 4.23 hours/resident/day — and 63% (656 of 1,039 that report staffing; 125 report none) meet the 4.1-hour reference. The catch a star rating hides: 140 California homes rated 4–5★ overall staff below the 4.1-hour adequacy reference — they sit flagged understaffed for rating in the table below, which opens sorted by staffing, not stars.

RECORDED CMS places its most seriously and persistently underperforming homes on the Special Focus Facility program (or names them candidates). This is CMS's own designation — recorded here, not an Atlas verdict.
