Data insights
Quality ratings
Mission de la Casa 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 (1/5), staffing (5/5), and quality measures (5/5).
What each sub-rating measures
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 San Jose, California, this facility operates 163 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 148 residents - an occupancy rate of about 91%. The facility is classified under for profit - individual ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At about 91% occupancy, this facility's bed usage looks steady and consistent with a stabilized operation.
Same-ownership peers
Within California, Mission de la Casa is one of 53 for profit - individual nursing homes CMS rates. Its 2-star overall rating sits below the for profit - individual-segment average of 2.8 stars, ahead of roughly 23% of same-ownership peers in the state. Same-segment comparisons like this one strip out the business-model factor, leaving a cleaner read on facility-level performance than a raw state average would give.
Inspection record
On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented multiple deficiencies at this facility (35 total). CMS has levied 1 enforcement penalty - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. This is a high deficiency count relative to most facilities; requesting the full survey report directly is the only way to see whether these are concentrated in one area or spread across the facility's operations.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
