Gardena Nursing Homes

Gardena has seven skilled nursing homes, but their Medicare ratings are generally low. The average rating is 2.9 stars out of five, with only two homes scoring four stars or better. The best-rated facility here is five stars, yet three homes have two stars or lower. Families should know most local options fall below average based on federal scores.

Staffing levels are modest: residents average 4.9 nursing hours daily, with just 0.7 from a registered nurse. High annual staff turnover at 34% means care teams change frequently. This turnover rate often correlates with less consistent care, a factor families should weigh against the average occupancy of 91% of beds.

Los Angeles County has 88 hospitals, including major centers like Kaiser Permanente South Bay, offering nearby medical backup. Statewide, a shared room averages $81,750 yearly. Given Gardena's low-rated homes, exploring neighboring cities with better federal scores may be necessary for families seeking higher-rated care.
