Hillcrest Nursing Home is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 4280 Cypress Drive in San Bernardino, California 92407. The facility operates with 59 certified beds and is certified to serve both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. It is currently active and accepting residents. CMS assigns Hillcrest Nursing Home 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 scores. The health inspection rating stands at 5 out of 5, reflecting performance on state and federal inspection surveys. The quality measure rating is also 5 out of 5, based on clinical data across multiple resident care metrics. The staffing rating, however, is 1 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that fall below typical national benchmarks. This component measures nurse staffing hours per resident per day and includes registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, and certified nursing assistant coverage. The contrast between the high inspection and quality scores and the low staffing rating is notable for facilities research purposes. Hillcrest Nursing Home holds dual Medicare and Medicaid certification, meaning it is equipped to bill both federal programs for qualifying residents. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility and benefit period rules. Medicaid coverage, administered through California's Medi-Cal program, may apply to long-term care residents who meet income and asset criteria. Private pay and private insurance may also be applicable depending on individual circumstances. Prospective residents and their families are advised to confirm current payment and admission policies directly with the facility by contacting (909) 882-2965. When considered against national averages, Hillcrest Nursing Home presents a mixed performance profile. Its overall 5-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, and its health inspection and quality measure scores are at the highest available level. The staffing rating of 1 out of 5, however, is significantly below the national norm. Individuals reviewing this facility for care decisions may find it useful to weigh each component rating independently, as the overall score reflects an aggregate that does not fully capture the staffing situation on its own. San Bernardino County contains multiple licensed skilled nursing facilities, providing a range of options for comparison within the local market.
