California

  • California’s nursing home ranking plunged to No. 22 overall, that’s down ten spots from its previous report card high.
  • The percentage of California nursing homes with one or more deficiencies ticked nearly 3 percent points higher since the last report card, dropping the measure to a failing grade for the first time.
  • California’s percentage of nursing homes with severe deficiencies increased a whopping 64 percent since our initial reports, nearly 1 in 5 nursing homes were cited for actual harm or immediate jeopardy to residents.
  • While California’s direct care staffing hours remained relatively high at 2 hours and 41 minutes of care per resident daily, the percentage of facilities actually providing above average staffing levels told a very different story; the number of facilities with high levels dropped nearly 40 percent since the last report card.
  • A falling percentage of verified ombudsman complaints for the third consecutive report card netted the Golden State its first “A” grade in this quality measure.
  • California nursing home care ranked last in nursing home quality for the Pacific Region.
