CMS Star Ratings

Overall rating
★★☆☆☆
CMS’s composite of the three ratings below. California average: 3.2 stars.
Health inspection
★★☆☆☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.
Staffing
★★★☆☆
Nurse and aide hours per resident per day, adjusted for how much care residents need, plus staff turnover.
Quality measures
★★★☆☆
Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Golden San Andreas Care Center holds a 2-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 50% is well above the California average of 37%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $91,172 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
Rating trajectory: overall rating improved from 1 stars (July 2026) to 2 stars (August 2026) across 2 monthly CMS releases tracked by ClearPath.
