SEACREST POST-ACUTE CARE CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Seacrest Post-Acute Care Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the facility's quality of care. Ranking #904 out of 1155 in California places it in the bottom half of nursing homes, and at #239 out of 369 in Los Angeles County, it is among the less favorable local options. The trend is worsening, with issues increasing from 21 in 2024 to 29 in 2025, highlighting ongoing problems. While staffing is a relative strength with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, the turnover rate is average at 44%, and the facility has incurred a concerning $224,236 in fines, higher than 98% of California facilities, suggesting repeated compliance problems. Specific incidents from recent inspections revealed critical failures, such as the facility not providing necessary CPR to a resident who was unresponsive and failing to inform a physician when a resident with COVID-19 showed significant health changes, leading to delays in medical intervention. Overall, while there are some strengths, such as decent staffing levels, the serious issues in care and compliance are alarming and warrant careful consideration by families.
