Alameda has seven skilled nursing homes, but Medicare rates only five. The average rating is 2.8 stars out of five, with only one home scoring four stars or higher. Two facilities rate two stars or lower. The city's best-rated home holds five stars, but most homes fall below average. Families should check all five rated facilities for specific details.

Staffing averages 4.3 nursing hours per resident daily, with just 0.8 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 43%, meaning frequent changes in caregivers. High occupancy at 93% of licensed beds may limit resources. These numbers suggest inconsistent care quality and potential challenges in receiving specialized nursing attention.

Alameda County has fifteen hospitals, including St. Rose Hospital with an emergency department. Statewide, shared room nursing home costs average $81,750 yearly. Given the low average ratings in Alameda, families should consider neighboring cities with better-rated facilities. Always verify current Medicare scores before deciding.
