The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Dreier's Nursing Care Center holds an overall CMS rating of 2 out of 5 stars, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars.

The quality measure rating is also 4 out of 5 stars, indicating above-average performance on clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS. The overall rating is a composite that incorporates all three domains, and individual domain ratings may vary significantly from one another, as is the case here. Dreier's Nursing Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification means the facility is available to residents who qualify under federal Medicare provisions, typically covering short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, as well as residents who qualify for Medicaid, the joint federal and state program that covers long-term care for eligible low-income individuals. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (818) 242-1183 to confirm current bed availability and specific coverage details. When considered in the context of national benchmarks, Dreier's Nursing Care Center presents a mixed profile. The overall 2-star rating places the facility below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the 2-star health inspection rating. However, the staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 stars each represent areas where the facility performs above the national norm. Health inspection scores reflect findings from state inspections and complaint investigations conducted over a standard review period, while staffing ratings account for nurse and aide hours per resident per day. Individuals researching this facility may find it useful to weigh each domain rating independently when making care decisions. The facility remains active and operational as of the most recent data available.
