Common questions

How many nursing homes are there in San Diego?

Medicare lists 21 certified nursing homes in San Diego. 21 carry a CMS star rating and 13 are rated 4 or 5 stars.

What does the CMS star rating actually measure?

Medicare combines three things into one overall rating: state health inspection results, staffing levels reported from payroll data, and clinical quality measures. It is a federal rating, not our assessment, and a facility can be rated well on one and poorly on another.

Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for this?

Every facility listed here is Medicare-certified. What Medicare pays for and for how long depends on the type of care and your situation, so confirm coverage with the facility and with your plan before you commit.

Where this data comes from

Ratings and quality measures on this page come from CMS Care Compare, Nursing Home Provider Information, published August 2026. They are Medicare's assessments, not ours. We report the federal figures as published, with the file's own date, and we do not compute a score of our own or rank one facility against another.

CMS suppresses some measures for small facilities, so a blank is missing data rather than a poor result. Ratings are refreshed each quarter from the source file. Confirm anything that matters directly with the facility before you act on it.
