West Valley Post Acute is a skilled nursing facility located at 7057 Shoup Ave in West Hills, California (ZIP code 91307), within Los Angeles County. The facility operates with 128 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. CMS assigns West Valley Post Acute an overall star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. This rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 1 star, reflecting findings from state and federal inspections conducted over a recent three-year period. The staffing rating is 3 stars, indicating staffing levels that are in line with national norms when accounting for resident acuity. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score, based on clinical data points such as rates of hospital readmission, medication management, and functional outcomes among residents. Each component carries different weight in the overall composite score, and a low health inspection rating can significantly affect the overall result. West Valley Post Acute holds dual certification under both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is able to provide covered services to eligible beneficiaries under either program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to defined time and benefit limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility criteria under California's Medi-Cal program. Individuals and families seeking admission should contact the facility directly at (818) 348-8422 to confirm current bed availability, accepted payer types, and any private-pay options. When compared against the national average overall star rating of 3.0, West Valley Post Acute's overall rating of 2 stars places it below the midpoint on the CMS five-star scale. The facility's quality measure rating of 5 stars is a notable data point, suggesting strong performance on the clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS. However, the health inspection rating of 1 star indicates a higher volume or severity of deficiencies identified during official inspections relative to national norms. The staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with the national average.
