Pasadena Nursing Homes

Pasadena has 15 skilled nursing homes, with Medicare ratings available for 12. The average rating is 2.3 stars out of 5, meaning most homes score poorly. Only one home has 4 stars or better (the highest is 5 stars), while eight homes rate 2 stars or lower. This average suggests families should look closely at specific facilities, not assume quality.

Staffing data shows an average of 4.5 nursing hours per resident daily, with only 0.5 hours from a registered nurse. Annual nursing staff turnover is 42%, meaning care teams change frequently. These numbers indicate potentially inconsistent care and limited direct nurse attention for residents each day.

Hospitals are plentiful in Los Angeles County (88 total, 53 with ERs, including major centers like LAC/USC), offering nearby medical support. The statewide average cost for a shared room is $81,750 yearly. Given Pasadena's low average ratings, families should check neighboring cities for higher-rated options before deciding.
