This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 49% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 35 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.

Key Review Excerpts
“There are moments in life when a family meets someone who changes everything. For our family, that person was, Elena. She treated my father the way every family hopes their loved one will be treated, with gentleness, respect, attentiveness, and genuine love.”
“The therapy team has also made a huge difference for us. The physical, occupational, and speech therapists have been patient, encouraging, and deeply dedicated to my father’s recovery after his stroke.”
“I was transferred from Kasier today to The Pavilion in Fullerton. When I arrived My bed was not ready. I asked if they had a pure wick to pee because I can’t bridge with my body for a diaper or bed pan. They said they don’t know what to do.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.

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.
