This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 86% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 31 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.
Temple City Healthcare is highly regarded by families for its exceptional physical therapy team and a nursing staff that treats residents with genuine compassion. While many reviewers praise the clean, home-like atmosphere and engaging activities, a small number of critical reviews highlight concerns regarding infrequent nursing checks and maintenance issues with equipment.

Key Review Excerpts
“I want to praise the excellent physical therapy my mother received at Temple City Health Care facility by the therapists Shay, Brandon, and Ralph. They are so professsional and worked hard to get my mother up and walking after a long illness.”
“I am a Physician and I go to many nursing facilities and this one is by far one of the best. It’s A+ in comparison to others and it is always clean.”
“My grandmother was staying at this place . Our family visits to see grandma were 2-3 hours long and everytime we would visit her no nurse would come and check her . I was like if they don’t check her for this long I wonder if they don’t check her at all.”
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.
