CMS assigns Manzanita Healthcare Center an overall star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average and reflects findings from recent state and federal inspection surveys.

The quality measure rating is also 5 out of 5, reflecting performance on clinical quality indicators that CMS uses to assess resident outcomes and care processes. Manzanita Healthcare Center is certified to participate in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Medicare coverage at skilled nursing facilities generally applies to short-term rehabilitative stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to federal eligibility requirements. Medicaid coverage may apply to longer-term care for residents who meet income and asset criteria established by the state of California. Individuals seeking information about coverage eligibility and benefit limitations are encouraged to consult directly with the facility's billing department or a benefits counselor. When compared to national averages, Manzanita Healthcare Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars, driven largely by strong performance in staffing and quality measures, both of which achieved the maximum rating of 5 stars. However, the health inspection rating of 2 stars indicates that inspection results are below the national average, which prospective residents and their families may wish to review in greater detail through the CMS Care Compare database. The facility's combination of high staffing and quality measure scores alongside a lower inspection rating illustrates the importance of reviewing each component rating individually when evaluating a nursing facility.
