The facility operates 120 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5 stars across four categories: overall, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. North Long Beach Post Acute holds an overall CMS star rating of 1 star, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating is also 1 star, reflecting findings from state inspections conducted on behalf of CMS. In contrast, the facility received a staffing rating of 4 stars and a quality measure rating of 4 stars, both of which are above the national average. The staffing rating reflects the levels of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is based on clinical data reported for long-stay and short-stay residents. North Long Beach Post Acute is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning the facility is able to serve residents whose care is funded through federal Medicare benefits as well as those covered under the joint federal-state Medicaid program. Individuals whose care is funded through private pay or private insurance should contact the facility directly to confirm accepted payment arrangements, as specific coverage policies may vary. When considered in the context of national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. The 1-star overall rating and 1-star health inspection rating are notably below the national average, while the 4-star staffing and quality measure ratings are above average. The overall rating is influenced by all three component ratings, with health inspection results carrying significant weight in the final calculation. Prospective residents, families, and care coordinators may wish to review the detailed inspection reports available through the CMS Care Compare tool to better understand the nature and scope of any cited deficiencies. This facility serves a community in the northern portion of Long Beach, a densely populated urban area within one of the largest counties in the United States.
