Is Colonial Care Center a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

There are no official resident reviews of nursing homes: Medicare's Care Compare publishes inspections, staffing and quality data instead. Here is what that record shows for Colonial Care Center as of October 2026.

CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars overall, below the California average of 3.2. Inspectors issued 81 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 7 penalties, including $140,904 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 1 out of 5; for long-term residents, 3 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Online reviews from families and residents are on Google Maps and other sites; they reflect individual experiences and aren't checked by CMS. The full inspection reports, including what inspectors observed, are on Medicare Care Compare.

Paying for care at Colonial Care Center: Medicare and Medicaid

Colonial Care Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet California's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.

Questions to ask on a tour of Colonial Care Center

  1. Inspectors cited the home at the immediate-jeopardy level on February 6, 2025 under the rule on quality of life and care. What changed afterwards, and can I see the plan of correction?

  3. CMS rates staffing 2 out of 5. How many residents does each nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
  4. CMS rates short-stay quality 1 out of 5. How often do rehab patients go back to the hospital, and how many therapy sessions a week are typical?
  5. Do you have a Medicaid bed open now, and will you admit someone whose Medicaid application is still pending?
