KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Knolls West Post Acute LLC has a Trust Grade of C, indicating it is average among nursing homes, neither excelling nor failing significantly. It ranks #609 out of 1155 facilities in California, placing it in the bottom half, and #45 out of 54 in San Bernardino County, suggesting limited local competition. The facility is worsening, with reported issues increasing from 11 to 16 in the last year. Staffing is a concern, with a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance, but it boasts a low turnover rate of 0%, which is a positive sign. While there have been no fines reported, there are serious incidents to note, including a resident who fell during a transfer that was not performed according to protocol, resulting in a head injury, and failure to adequately manage pressure ulcers for two residents, which could lead to severe complications. Additionally, there were food safety issues in the kitchen, highlighting a need for improvement in both care and facility management. Overall, families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully when considering this home.

About This Facility
What is Knolls West Post Acute Llc's CMS Rating?
CMS assigns KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC an overall rating of 3 out of 5 stars, which is considered average nationally. Within California, this rating places the facility higher than 0% of the state's 100 nursing homes. This mid-range rating indicates the facility meets federal standards but may have areas for improvement.
How is Knolls West Post Acute Llc Staffed?
CMS rates KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC's staffing level at 2 out of 5 stars, which is below average compared to other nursing homes.
What Have Inspectors Found at Knolls West Post Acute Llc?
State health inspectors documented 50 deficiencies at KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC during 2022 to 2025. These included: 2 that caused actual resident harm, 46 with potential for harm, and 2 minor or isolated issues. Deficiencies causing actual harm indicate documented cases where residents experienced negative health consequences.
Who Owns and Operates Knolls West Post Acute Llc?
KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC is owned by a for-profit company. For-profit facilities operate as businesses with obligations to shareholders or private owners. The facility is operated by DAVID & FRANK JOHNSON, a chain that manages multiple nursing homes. With 118 certified beds and approximately 108 residents (about 92% occupancy), it is a mid-sized facility located in VICTORVILLE, California.
How Does Knolls West Post Acute Llc Compare to Other California Nursing Homes?
Compared to the 100 nursing homes in California, KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC's overall rating (3 stars) is below the state average of 3.1 and health inspection rating (3 stars) is at the national benchmark.
What Should Families Ask When Visiting Knolls West Post Acute Llc?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Knolls West Post Acute Llc Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 3-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in California. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Knolls West Post Acute Llc Stick Around?
KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC has not reported staff turnover data to CMS. Staff turnover matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' individual needs, medications, and preferences. When staff frequently change, this institutional knowledge is lost. Families should ask the facility directly about their staff retention rates and average employee tenure.
Was Knolls West Post Acute Llc Ever Fined?
KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Knolls West Post Acute Llc on Any Federal Watch List?
KNOLLS WEST POST ACUTE LLC is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
