The facility operates with 49 certified beds and is classified under for-profit ownership as a limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. CMS assigns Oakpark Healthcare Center an overall star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating draws from three component scores. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting survey findings that are in line with the national average. The staffing rating reaches 5 stars, the highest level available, indicating staffing levels that exceed national benchmarks. The quality measure rating is 4 stars, reflecting performance on clinical quality indicators that is above the national average. CMS star ratings are derived from standardized federal data and are intended to provide a consistent basis for comparison across facilities nationwide. Oakpark Healthcare Center holds dual certification under Medicare and Medicaid, meaning the facility is authorized to bill both federal programs for covered services. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and time limits. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is available to eligible individuals who meet California's income and asset criteria. Prospective residents and their representatives are advised to confirm current coverage details and availability directly with the facility and the relevant program administrators. When assessed against national performance data, Oakpark Healthcare Center presents a mixed but generally favorable profile. Its overall 4-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars. The 5-star staffing rating is a notable distinction, as staffing levels are closely associated with the consistency and availability of resident care. The 3-star health inspection rating suggests a performance level near the national midpoint, while the 4-star quality measure rating indicates stronger-than-average outcomes on standardized clinical metrics. Together, these indicators position the facility above average in most measured categories, with health inspection results representing an area closer to national norms. This data is updated periodically by CMS and reflects the most recent reporting cycle available at the time of publication.
