Lowest-rated nursing homes in Gardena
How this list works
- Where do the ratings come from?
- From CMS's Nursing Home Care Compare (the same data as Medicare.gov), October 2026. The overall rating combines health inspections, staffing and quality measures; inspections weigh the most.
- What are the Special Focus Facility list and the abuse icon?
- CMS lists this nursing home as a Special Focus Facility: homes "included in a special program to stimulate improvements in their quality of care" because of a persistent record of serious problems. CMS marks this nursing home with its abuse icon. CMS shows the icon for homes with abuse citations in recent inspections: an abuse citation where residents were harmed (scope and severity G or higher) within the past year, or abuse citations at D or higher (potential for harm) in each of the last two years.
- Is this a recommendation?
- No. It is a ranking of CMS's published ratings. Ratings can change every month, and a home's rating may not reflect a recent change in ownership or staff. Visit, ask questions and read the inspection reports.
