These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 56% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 22 findings, above the CA average of 15.4. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Broadway by the Sea is highly regarded for its exceptional rehabilitation services and a compassionate, professional nursing staff that treats residents with dignity. While the majority of families praise the facility's cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere, some recent concerns have been raised regarding medical oversight and staffing levels during night shifts.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff somehow manages to make tough times feel lighter. My dad, who’s not exactly a “go with the flow” kind of guy (think: handful… physically and mentally), has been treated with so much patience, humor, and dignity.”
“The therapy team was outstanding and helped her regain her strength. Thanks to Cho, Amber, and the rest of the rehab team she’s now back on her feet and doing well.”
“I’ve travel throughout LA, OC, and Riverside counties as a hospice nurse and I always looked forward to visiting this facility because the staff is great. I did not have to worry about patient care here which I can’t say about many SNFs unfortunately.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
