CALIFORNIA NURSING & REHABILITATION CENTER

California Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a licensed skilled nursing facility located at 2299 North Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs, California, within Riverside County. The facility operates 80 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It holds dual certification under both Medicare and Medicaid programs. The facility carries an overall CMS star rating of 1 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated using three component domains. The health inspection rating stands at 1 out of 5, reflecting findings from state and federal inspections conducted over a recent three-year period. The staffing rating also registers at 1 out of 5, indicating staffing levels and staffing consistency that are below average compared to other certified facilities nationally. The quality measure rating, by contrast, scores 4 out of 5, which is above the national average and reflects clinical outcome data across multiple tracked health indicators for residents. California Nursing & Rehabilitation Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification means the facility is authorized to provide covered skilled nursing services to Medicare beneficiaries following qualifying hospital stays, and is also enrolled to serve residents who qualify for Medicaid-funded long-term care. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility and the relevant insurance programs. When assessed against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 1-star rating and the individual 1-star ratings in health inspections and staffing place this facility in the lowest tier nationally across those two domains. The quality measure rating of 4 stars, however, indicates above-average performance in the clinical metrics tracked by CMS, which include areas such as resident health outcomes and functional status measures. This divergence between the clinical quality score and the inspection and staffing scores is notable for purposes of comparison. Prospective residents and their representatives are encouraged to review the full CMS Care Compare profile, which includes detailed inspection reports, staffing hour data, and individual quality measure breakdowns, to obtain a complete picture of the facility's performance record.
