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 92% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 21 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.
Families considering Heritage Rehabilitation Center will find a highly-regarded physical therapy team that excels in post-surgical recovery and strength building. While many reviewers praise the compassionate nursing leadership and kind staff, there are serious, recurring reports regarding inconsistent hygiene care and delayed responses to patient needs.

Key Review Excerpts
“I’m very impressed with the rehabilitation team here at Heritage. My brother is becoming stronger with every therapy session. He has constant monitoring of his overall health.. physically, mentally and spiritually.”
“My mother is currently at this center. My mother is recovering stroke patient and needs maximum assistance. 100% today she fell. The center failed to report this incident.”
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.
