GREATER EL MONTE COMMUNITY HOS

Greater El Monte Community Hospital is a skilled nursing and care facility located at 1701 Santa Anita Avenue in El Monte, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility operates with 13 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit corporation. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. CMS assigns Greater El Monte Community Hospital an overall star rating of 4 out of 5, based on data collected through its Nursing Home Care Compare program. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, and the staffing rating also receives 4 stars. A quality measure rating is not currently available for this facility. CMS star ratings are calculated using a scale of 1 to 5, where higher numbers reflect stronger performance relative to other facilities in the state and nation. The national average overall star rating is 3.0 stars, placing this facility above that benchmark in the categories where ratings are reported. Greater El Monte Community Hospital holds dual certification for Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is authorized to receive payment from both federal programs for qualifying residents. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements. Medicaid, administered in California through the Medi-Cal program, may cover longer-term care for residents who meet income and asset criteria. Individuals and families seeking placement should verify current coverage policies and any applicable cost-sharing requirements directly with the facility and the relevant program administrators. With 13 certified beds, Greater El Monte Community Hospital is a notably small facility compared to the national average for nursing homes, which typically operate with a significantly larger number of beds. Its overall CMS rating of 4 stars, combined with 4-star ratings in both health inspections and staffing, places it above the national average of 3.0 stars in those measured categories. The absence of a quality measure rating means one component of the typical CMS evaluation is not reflected in the current data profile. Prospective residents and their representatives are encouraged to consult the most current CMS Nursing Home Care Compare data and to conduct on-site visits when evaluating placement options.
