Downey Community Health Center

Downey Community Health Center sits at 8425 Iowa Street in Downey, California, and has been serving residents since 1980, with 198 certified beds and usually around 177 residents each day, and when you walk into the facility, you notice that they cover a wide range of services, offering skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, post-stroke and cardiac care, IV therapies, wound care management, as well as daily activities for residents, dietary support, and social services, so there's a good mix of medical, therapeutic, and daily living help, and residents get about 4.32 nurse hours per day, though the nurse turnover rate stands at 25.0%, which can make it harder to keep the same care team over time. You'll find the facility provides 24/7 nursing care, assisted living, independent living, and has programs like PACE for all-inclusive care for older adults, along with mental health services and foster care programs. There's a mental health unit, a variety of care programs like memory care, short-term rehab, respite care, and plenty of daily activities to help people stay engaged. Downey Community Health Center does get reviews praising good care, and the place keeps a clean, comfortable environment, though inspection reports do show some infection-related deficiencies, notably under code F0882, which means there hasn't always been a qualified infection preventionist, and there've been gaps in protecting residents from the spread of infection as well as staff education on dementia care and proper reporting under F0943. Still, the facility runs as a for-profit partnership, has certified beds, and is ranked #20 among California nursing homes. They have a team of medical practitioners who assess residents and create care plans, they cover short-term rehab, post-stroke programs, cardiac care, and offer therapies like IV and wound care, plus you'll see options for scheduling tours, meeting the staff and residents, as well as learning more about the facility's services and costs, though it does require sharing some personal details and consent to be contacted. There's also a map available to help visitors find the place and understand the area.
