Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Los Angeles, CA
Sunrise at Palos Verdes in Torrance, CA
5.0

We picked this community because of, the quality of staff, and the ability to meet needs of both my loved ones. Mom is treated with dignity and encouraged to participate in activities. The staff are loving and attentive. Dad has found community outside the memory care side, which is where they both live for mom's care.

Costs of nursing homes in the Los Angeles area

Los Angeles nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities typically cost more than other types of senior care due to their specialized medical staff and the 24/7 medical oversight they provide.

In 2021, the monthly median cost of a private room in a skilled nursing facility was $11,269, compared to $9,125 for a semi-private room.[01] Although the monthly cost for a skilled nursing facility can vary depending on floor plan, location, and amenities, the overall cost may include a range of services. Typically, the monthly cost of a private or semi-private room in a skilled nursing home includes the following:

  • Three meals a day plus snacks
  • Personal care services
  • 24/7 skilled medical care
  • Senior-specific amenities
  • Housekeeping and laundry
  • Utilities and maintenance
  • Emergency call systems
  • Transportation
  • Landscaped outdoor common areas
  • Activity programming

If your loved one doesn’t require 24/7 skilled medical care, another type of senior care may be better suited for your loved one. Because assisted living and memory care facilities don’t provide 24/7 specialized medical care, they tend to cost much less than skilled nursing facilities.

Costs of assisted living and memory care facilities in Los Angeles

In 2022, the average monthly cost that families paid for assisted living facilities in our network was $6,071 and $6,783 for assisted living with memory care. These prices include the cost of personal care, meals, and extras, like add-on services or pet rent. Similar to skilled nursing facilities, the costs of these communities can vary depending on floor plan, location, and amenities. But, on average, assisted living and memory care monthly costs include the following:

  • Three meals a day plus snacks
  • Personal care, like assistance with activities of daily living
  • Medication assistance and administration
  • Weekly housekeeping and laundry
  • Maintenance and landscaping
  • Utilities
  • Activity programming
  • Transportation
  • Senior-specific amenities
  • Specialized therapies and programs
  • Indoor and outdoor common areas, like game rooms, salons, movie theaters, courtyards, pools, walking paths, etc.

How people pay for a nursing home in Los Angeles

You and your family have a variety of options to pay for long-term care. Seniors moving into a nursing home or skilled nursing facility can apply for state and federal programs to help cover costs. If assisted living or memory care is a better option for the senior in your life, they can use some of these options as well. Continue reading to learn how private payment methods, public assistance options, and veterans benefits can help cover the costs of long-term senior care.

Families paying for long-term senior care can cover the costs by using their own income, such as savings accounts, pensions, Social Security benefits, and investment returns. The options below may also be available to families:

Selling a house

Reverse mortgage

Health savings accounts

Life insurance

Long-term care insurance

Please note that the coverage provided through long-term care insurance policies can vary. Speak with your loved one’s long-term care policy provider for information on senior care coverage.

Understand California laws and regulations for nursing homes

Los Angeles nursing homes or skilled nursing facilities are sometimes also called care centers and convalescent hospitals. Skilled nursing home facilities need to be licensed by the California Department of Public Health (or CDPH). Sometimes, skilled nursing facilities in California are part of broader senior living communities, such as continuing care retirement communities (or CCRCs).

The list below includes several services that skilled nursing home facilities in California must provide:

  • Physician services
  • Skilled nursing services
  • Dietary services
  • Pharmaceutical services
  • Activity programming
  • Arranged transportation to services that can’t be provided on site
  • A plan for emergency medical care if the on-site physician isn’t present

Skilled nursing home facilities in California must also follow several requirements for their caregiving staff and resident living spaces:

  • Enough nursing staff must be present so that each resident gets at least three hours of services each day.
  • All staff members need to participate in continuing education on safety and care procedures.
  • Each facility is licensed for a different number of residents and beds, and facilities must not exceed these numbers.
  • Each room must have a bed, table, chair, and a space to keep the resident’s belongings.

When a skilled nursing home facility accepts Medi-Cal or Medicare, it is also regulated by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which has the right to approve or deny a facility’s state-level certification.

Assisted living and memory care laws and regulations

Here you’ll find details regarding California’s assisted living and memory care laws and regulations, in case a nursing home or skilled nursing facility isn’t right for the senior in your life.

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) is responsible for licensing assisted living and memory care facilities in Los Angeles. Before a senior moves into one of these communities, the facility is required to provide an assessment. This may involve interviews and a review of the senior’s health records. After your loved one has moved in, the facility must follow these additional regulations:

  • House a maximum of two residents per bedroom
  • Provide individual privacy in each bathroom
  • Ensure bedrooms have enough room to accommodate equipment such as wheelchairs and walkers
  • Provide clean and accessible common rooms for residents
  • Provide activities involving social, leisure, and daily living skills

Facility inspections and reports

Each year, skilled nursing home facilities are inspected by the Licensing and Certification Division of the CDPH. The CDPH Center for Health Care Quality (or CHCQ) has an online dashboard that allows you to search by facility name, facility type, and county to find skilled nursing home facility violations.

Assisted living and memory care facilities are inspected by the California Department of Social Services (or CDSS) once a year and within 10 days of a complaint.

Inspection reports and a list of licensed senior care facilities can be found in the CDSS Care Facility Search. Scroll to “Search By Facility Group,” choose “Elderly Assisted Living,” choose the “Facility Type” and “Los Angeles County,” and click on the search button. The site also gives you the option to search by facility name or address.

COVID-19 regulations for Los Angeles nursing homes

Preventing the spread of COVID-19 is a high priority for Los Angeles County and its residents. The county recommends that everyone gets vaccinated, wears masks in public, and gets tested if they have symptoms. Read Los Angeles County Department of Public Health’s current COVID-19 guidelines for frequently updated information.

Los Angeles nursing homes facilities must follow guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health:

Vaccinations. The COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent boosters are recommended for residents in skilled nursing home facilities. Staff are required to have the initial vaccine series and at least one booster.

Masking. Residents must have access to a clean mask at all times and are encouraged to wear them when they leave their rooms. All staff and visitors must wear a mask at all times inside the skilled nursing home facility.

Facility cleanliness. High-touch surfaces and equipment must be cleaned and sanitized with a hospital-grade disinfectant.

Staff safety. Staff must wear N95 respirators when interacting with a resident who has symptoms of the virus or tested positive for the virus. Other personal protective equipment (or PPE) may be used during high-risk situations. PPE includes gowns, protective goggles, and face shields.

Quarantining. Skilled nursing home facilities must have designated isolation areas for resident cases of COVID-19. Residents can leave the isolation area once they are fever-free for at least 24 hours, show symptom improvement, and have isolated for at least 10 days since their symptoms started.[]

What to expect from senior care in Los Angeles

Nursing home, assisted living, and memory care communities have unique offerings for seniors in Los Angeles. Resort-style amenities, enriching activities, and dynamic cultural communities await future residents. You can even choose a community that offers more than one type of care, bringing peace of mind to you and your family if your loved one’s care needs ever change. Learn more about each care type below and find a lifestyle that fits your family.

Los Angeles nursing homes and senior care facilities

Los Angeles nursing homes facilities have skilled caregivers like doctors and nurses who provide 24/7 supervision and medical care. Some skilled nursing home facilities in the area also coordinate hospice services or rehabilitation services for residents recovering from an illness or a surgery. Assisted living and memory care communities may also have on-site rehabilitation services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. These Los Angeles senior care facilities sometimes even offer additional therapies, like pet therapy and massage therapy.

Seniors who wish to age in place can receive the same level of care found in a skilled nursing facility in several of our partner Los Angeles assisted living and memory care communities. Though these facilities may not initially admit someone in need of 24-hour skilled nursing care, they often provide access to such services in the event a current resident grows to need them. This means a senior must already live in the assisted living community before transitioning to this skilled level of care.

If your loved one currently doesn’t require 24/7 medical observation, hospice care, or rehabilitation services, a skilled nursing facility is not for them. Consider looking into assisted living communities that can provide levels of care more suitable for your senior loved one.

Los Angeles assisted living

Seniors in Los Angeles can embark on a luxurious lifestyle combined with daily assistance. Los Angeles neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills and North Hollywood offer resort-style amenities and close proximity to upscale dining and shopping districts.

Enjoy a chef-prepared gourmet meal, dip your toes in an outdoor swimming pool, or bond with your neighbors during an afternoon high tea. Break a sweat in a professionally supervised fitness center, stop by the beauty salon, or use a personal limousine service. Even canine companions can enjoy a pampered lifestyle with pristinely landscaped grounds and dog wash stations.

Several Los Angeles assisted living communities are also connected to different faiths and cultures. For example, Jewish assisted living communities in the Beverly Hills area have Kosher-certified kitchens, authentic Jewish cuisine, and religious services. Several communities in Little Tokyo are rooted in East Asian cultures. Other facilities offer nondenominational and spiritual services on site.

Los Angeles memory care

Stand-alone memory care facilities exclusively assist seniors who have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. These facilities offer uniquely structured environments, highly trained dementia-care caregivers, and specialized cognitive therapies. There are several types of these memory care facilities in Los Angeles.

Some of these communities are on smaller properties and cater to individual residents in a more familial setting. Seniors in these communities will find amenities such as cozy candlelight dinners, peaceful common areas, and enclosed gardens and courtyards. Many memory care communities also have registered dieticians on staff and often provide chauffeur services.

The majority of A Place for Mom’s partner Los Angeles memory care facilities are part of larger senior care facilities and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), which include independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care. These larger communities boast resort-style services and amenities like rooftop lounges, swimming pools, and gardens specifically designed for relaxation and reflection. On-site activities provide fulfilling experiences, like live on-site performances, regularly scheduled karaoke nights, and virtual reality experiences.
