Downey Post Acute

Downey Post Acute sits on Paramount Boulevard in Downey, California, and has 99 certified beds for people needing skilled nursing and post-acute care, so it's a place where folks go to recover and get back to their usual health with help from nurses and therapists. The staff speaks English, and the facility brings together teams for physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, all working with each person, their family, and their doctor to make a plan that's just right for them, and the therapy programs use newer research and can be adapted as needs change, so the care usually fits each patient's specific situation. Downey Post Acute provides rehab and skilled nursing care, and pharmacy services cover residents' prescriptions-though there aren't many public details about other features or amenities. Their manager, Wilestela Williams, has been there since 2019, and the ownership ties back to The Ensign Group, a larger organization in healthcare. The facility isn't taking new patients right now, and the standard inspection from March 27, 2025, plus other reports, show they had 64 total deficiencies, including 9 infection-related ones and others tied to things like resident assessment and care planning, specifically called F0658 and F0656, which means there weren't harmful events recorded but there could have been more than minor problems if things had kept up. The nurse turnover rate is 46.2%, a bit higher than what you see around the state, and the daily nurse hours per resident, which are at 4.07, run lower than the California average of 4.5 hours. The focus at Downey Post Acute is on care and building a sense of community, and the staff tries to help each person work towards better health, though inspection reports and statistics do highlight some challenges in recent years.
