WESTVIEW HEALTHCARE CENTER

Westview Healthcare Center is a long-term care facility located at 12225 Shale Ridge Lane in Auburn, California, within Placer County. The facility operates under for-profit ownership as a limited liability company and holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid residents. Westview Healthcare Center has a total of 205 certified beds, placing it among the larger skilled nursing facilities in the region. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Westview Healthcare Center received a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average and reflects findings from recent state and federal inspection surveys. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, indicating staffing levels above the national average across nursing and aide categories. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score, reflecting performance on clinical outcome indicators such as rates of hospitalization, medication use, and resident functional status. Westview Healthcare Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and duration limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility criteria under California's Medi-Cal program. Individuals and families seeking placement should contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to clarify current coverage and availability. When viewed against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile across its component ratings. The overall 3-star rating matches the national average, but the individual components show notable variation. The 2-star health inspection rating indicates below-average performance in that category, while the 4-star staffing rating and 5-star quality measure rating both exceed national averages. The quality measure rating in particular represents the highest tier of performance in that domain. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review full inspection reports available through the CMS Care Compare database to gain a more detailed understanding of any cited deficiencies or areas of concern. This data is updated periodically as new inspection cycles and staffing reports are submitted to CMS.
