Canterbury Woods is a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility located at 651 Sinex Avenue in Pacific Grove, California, within Monterey County. The facility operates under non-profit corporate ownership and maintains a total of 24 certified beds, making it a smaller residential care setting relative to many comparable facilities across the state. CMS assigns Canterbury Woods an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating is derived from three component measures. The health inspection rating stands at 4 out of 5 stars, reflecting the outcomes of state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is also 4 out of 5 stars, which accounts for the levels of nursing staff, including registered nurses and certified nursing assistants, relative to the facility's resident population. The quality measure rating reaches 5 out of 5 stars, indicating performance on clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS across the resident population. Canterbury Woods is certified for Medicare participation. The facility does not appear in the data as a dually certified Medicaid provider, which may affect eligibility for residents whose care is funded through Medi-Cal or other state Medicaid programs. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (831) 373-3111 to inquire about accepted payment sources, current bed availability, and the range of services offered. Insurance coverage, benefit periods, and out-of-pocket obligations vary depending on the payer type and individual policy terms. Compared to the national average of 3.0 overall stars, Canterbury Woods performs above average across all three CMS rating categories. Its quality measure rating of 5 stars and overall composite of 5 stars are both notably higher than the national benchmark. The health inspection and staffing ratings, each at 4 stars, also exceed the national average. With 24 certified beds, the facility is considerably smaller than the typical nursing home in the United States, which may reflect differences in staffing ratios, inspection outcomes, and operational scope relative to larger facilities. These figures are drawn from CMS administrative data and are updated on a periodic basis.

About CMS Star Ratings

CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.

A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
