LINDA MAR CARE CENTER

Linda Mar Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 751 San Pedro Terrace Road in Pacifica, California, within San Mateo County. The facility operates with 59 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit corporation. 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, with 5 representing the highest rating. Linda Mar Care Center holds an overall CMS rating of 5 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component categories. The health inspection rating is 4 stars, the staffing rating is 4 stars, and the quality measure rating is 5 stars. These ratings reflect performance data collected through federal inspections, reported staffing levels, and standardized clinical quality indicators. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Linda Mar Care Center is able to accept residents whose care is funded through either program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to defined eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid, administered in California as Medi-Cal, may provide coverage for longer-term nursing home care for individuals who meet income and asset eligibility criteria. Residents and families seeking coverage information are advised to consult directly with the facility and with relevant state or federal program offices regarding individual eligibility and coverage details. When compared to national averages, Linda Mar Care Center performs above the national baseline across all rating categories. The national average overall CMS star rating is 3.0 stars, making the facility's 5-star overall rating notably higher than the national norm. The 4-star health inspection and staffing ratings also exceed the national average, and the 5-star quality measure rating places the facility at the highest tier for that component. These ratings are based on data reported to CMS and are subject to periodic updates as new inspection cycles, staffing reports, and quality measure data are collected and processed. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review the most current data available through the CMS Care Compare database when evaluating nursing facility options.
