Edgewater Skilled Nursing Center

Quality ratings

Edgewater Skilled Nursing Center holds a CMS overall quality rating of 2 out of 5 stars, based on the most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS breaks this into three sub-ratings: health inspection (2/5), staffing (3/5), and quality measures (3/5). The health inspection rating reflects on-site surveyor findings from the last three cycles. The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Size and setting

Located in Long Beach, California, this facility operates 81 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 72 residents - an occupancy rate of about 89%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. Ownership type, bed certification (Medicare, Medicaid, or both), and geographic setting are frequently-requested context points that families weigh alongside the star rating when evaluating long-term care options.

Same-ownership peers

Within California, Edgewater Skilled Nursing Center is one of 291 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 2-star overall rating sits below the for profit - corporation-segment average of 3.4 stars, ahead of roughly 12% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.

Inspection record

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented multiple deficiencies at this facility (74 total). CMS has levied 4 enforcement penalties - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. Deficiencies are graded by scope and severity on CMS's F-tag scale, ranging from isolated, low-harm findings to widespread, immediate-jeopardy citations. Tracking deficiency volume alongside severity provides a more complete picture than star rating alone. Families considering this facility are encouraged to review the full inspection history on medicare.gov/care-compare and to request copies of the most recent survey reports directly from the administrator before making a placement decision.
