Quality ratings
The rating comes from CMS's most recent Care Compare release (data as of April 2026). CMS rolls three sub-ratings into the overall star: health inspection, staffing, and quality measures. The chart below sets each of them against the California average.
What each sub-rating measures

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.

Its ownership type, listed in Facility details, can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. With occupancy around 93%, bed usage here sits in the range typical of a stabilized facility.
Same-ownership peers
Within California, La Crescenta Healthcare Center is one of 53 for profit - partnership nursing homes CMS rates. Its 3-star overall rating sits below the for profit - partnership-segment average of 3.2 stars, ahead of roughly 36% of same-ownership peers in the state. Peer comparisons within the same ownership type are more apples-to-apples than a state-wide average, since for-profit, non-profit, and government operators tend to differ systematically in staffing and reinvestment.
