Fullerton Nursing Homes

Fullerton has nine skilled nursing homes, with Medicare ratings for seven. The average rating is 3.3 stars out of five. The best-rated home here has five stars, and three others are four stars or higher. However, two homes rate two stars or lower. This means most facilities here fall below average nationally.

Staffing averages 4.5 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.6 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 27%, meaning care teams change frequently. Occupancy sits at 79% of licensed beds. These numbers suggest consistent care may be challenging to maintain across many homes in the city.

Orange County has 27 hospitals, including 16 with emergency departments like Providence St. Joseph. Statewide, shared-room nursing home costs average $81,750 yearly. Families should compare ratings directly on Medicare's website. While Fullerton has a top-rated home, consider checking nearby cities if ratings seem low for your needs.
