SANTA FE LODGE

Santa Fe Lodge is a skilled nursing facility located at 5053 Peck Rd. in El Monte, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility operates with 46 certified beds and is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve residents under either program. Santa Fe Lodge holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are based on three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The health inspection rating for this facility is 2 stars, indicating performance below the national average in that category. The staffing rating is 3 stars, which aligns with the national average and reflects the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day. The quality measure rating is also 3 stars, indicating that the facility's performance on clinical quality indicators is at a nationally average level. The overall 2-star rating reflects the combined weight of all three components, with the lower health inspection score contributing significantly to the aggregate result. Santa Fe Lodge accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification allows the facility to serve a broad range of residents, including those who qualify for government-funded coverage. Individuals or families seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (626) 448-4248 to inquire about current availability, private pay options, and any additional accepted insurance types. When compared to national benchmarks, Santa Fe Lodge presents a mixed profile. Its staffing and quality measure ratings both meet the national average of 3 stars, suggesting adequate nursing hours and clinical outcomes in those domains. However, the 2-star health inspection rating places the facility below national norms in that area, and the resulting overall 2-star rating positions it below the national average overall.
