HUNTINGTON VALLEY HEALTHCARE CENTER

Huntington Valley Healthcare Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 8382 Newman Avenue in Huntington Beach, California (ZIP code 92647). The facility operates within Orange County and maintains 144 certified beds. It is owned and operated as a for-profit limited liability company and holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid patients. The facility carries a CMS overall star rating of 1 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three component areas: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Huntington Valley Healthcare Center received a 1-star health inspection rating, reflecting a lower performance on this component relative to national norms. The staffing rating is 2 stars, indicating staffing levels that are below average compared to other certified facilities nationwide. The quality measure rating is 4 stars, representing above-average performance on clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS. These component ratings are derived from publicly reported data submitted to and verified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. As a dually certified Medicare and Medicaid facility, Huntington Valley Healthcare Center accepts patients covered under both federal programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is available to eligible California residents who meet the financial and medical criteria established by the state. Individuals and families seeking information about coverage eligibility are advised to consult directly with the facility or contact the relevant state and federal agencies. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, this facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 1-star CMS rating places it in the lowest tier nationally, driven in part by the 1-star health inspection result and a below-average 2-star staffing score. However, the 4-star quality measure rating indicates that certain clinical outcomes tracked by CMS are above the national average at this location. The facility is one of multiple skilled nursing providers operating in Orange County and can be compared to other California facilities using publicly available CMS data through the Nursing Home Compare tool.
