La Jolla Post-Acute is a skilled nursing facility located at 2552 Torrey Pines Rd in La Jolla, California (92037), within San Diego County. The facility operates under for-profit corporate ownership and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It has a total of 161 certified beds, positioning it as a mid-to-large skilled nursing provider in the region. According to CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) data, La Jolla Post-Acute holds an overall star rating of 4 out of 5. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating is 4 stars, reflecting the outcomes of standard state and federal inspection surveys. The staffing rating is 3 stars, which represents the levels of nursing staff relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is also 3 stars, based on clinical data tracking outcomes such as mobility, medication management, and hospital readmissions. CMS star ratings use a scale of 1 to 5, where higher numbers indicate performance above national and state averages. La Jolla Post-Acute accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, meaning residents with either federal insurance program may be eligible for coverage depending on their care needs and benefit status. Families and case managers working with residents whose coverage includes Medicare Part A or Medicaid-funded long-term care should verify current bed availability and admission criteria directly with the facility. Private pay and other insurance arrangements may also be available, though confirmation should be sought from the facility's admissions staff. Compared to the national average overall CMS star rating of 3.0, La Jolla Post-Acute's overall rating of 4 stars places it above the national benchmark. Its health inspection score of 4 stars similarly exceeds the national average, while its staffing and quality measure ratings of 3 stars each are in line with the national average. These figures are drawn from CMS data and reflect a snapshot of performance during the relevant survey and reporting periods. Ratings are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing data become available. Individuals researching skilled nursing options in the La Jolla or broader San Diego area may use these ratings alongside other information, such as inspection reports and staffing disclosures available through the CMS Care Compare database, to form a complete picture of facility performance.
