KINGS HEALTHCARE & WELLNESS CENTER LP

Kings Healthcare & Wellness Center LP is a skilled nursing facility located at 851 Leslie Lane in Hanford, California (ZIP code 93230). The facility operates 70 certified beds and is classified under for-profit, individually owned ownership. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Kings Healthcare & Wellness Center LP received a 5-star rating in both health inspections and quality measures, indicating strong performance in those domains relative to other facilities nationwide. However, the facility received a 1-star staffing rating, the lowest possible score in that category. This rating reflects staffing levels and nurse hours per resident per day as reported to CMS, and it falls notably below the national average. Families and healthcare professionals reviewing this facility should consider the staffing rating alongside the other component scores when assessing overall care conditions. Kings Healthcare & Wellness Center LP is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Individuals seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (559) 582-4414 to confirm current bed availability, payment options, and any private pay arrangements that may apply. In comparing this facility to national benchmarks, the overall 5-star rating and the individual 5-star scores in health inspections and quality measures represent above-average performance relative to the CMS national average of 3.0 stars. The 1-star staffing rating, however, represents a significant departure from that otherwise elevated profile. Nationally, staffing levels have been a consistent area of scrutiny in long-term care settings, and a 1-star score indicates that this facility's reported staffing hours fall at or near the lower end of the distribution. This contrast between high performance in inspection and quality metrics and low performance in staffing is a notable characteristic of this facility's CMS profile.
