SoCal Post-Acute Care is a skilled nursing facility located at 7931 S. Sorenson Ave. in Whittier, California, within Los Angeles County. The facility operates 59 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component ratings: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. SoCal Post-Acute Care received a 3-star rating in health inspections and a 3-star rating in staffing, both of which align with the national average. The facility's quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score in that category. Quality measure ratings reflect clinical data submitted to CMS regarding resident outcomes and care processes, and a 5-star rating in this area indicates performance well above the national norm. SoCal Post-Acute Care is certified under both Medicare and Medicaid programs, meaning it is eligible to receive reimbursement from either program depending on a resident's coverage. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover long-term care costs for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria under California's Medi-Cal program. Individuals seeking information about coverage eligibility are advised to contact the facility directly or consult the relevant program administrators. When viewed against national benchmarks, SoCal Post-Acute Care presents a mixed but generally above-average profile. Its overall 4-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, driven significantly by the 5-star quality measure performance. The health inspection and staffing components each fall at the midpoint of the 5-star scale, consistent with national averages rather than above or below them. With 59 certified beds, the facility is relatively small compared to many nursing homes across the country, which may affect staffing ratios and the overall care environment. The facility is listed as active and continues to serve residents in the Whittier area of Los Angeles County.
