CMS Star Ratings

★★★☆☆

Brentwood Health Care Center holds a 3-star overall rating, CMS’s middle tier. Nursing staff turnover of 46% is well above the California average of 37%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. 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.
