Bonnie Brae Convalescent Hospital

Bonnie Brae Convalescent Hospital sits on South Bonnie Brae Street in Los Angeles and has served as a family-owned and operated skilled nursing facility for over thirty years, and what you'll find here is a focus on medical and everyday support for seniors with ongoing health needs, and they do offer long-term care, convalescent services, and post-acute care for folks coming from the hospital or recovering from surgery or illness. The facility has 59 certified beds, with an average of 42 residents each day, and staff assist with daily living activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and managing medications, along with wound care and meal planning based on each person's needs. There's 24-hour supervision, a call system for emergencies, and between 12 and 16 hours of direct nursing care each day, but someone is always on duty, and they provide specialized support for people who can't walk by themselves, so non-ambulatory care is strong here. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, and the team coordinates with doctors to give skilled nursing care and therapies like physical, speech, and occupational therapy right inside their own rehab unit for those needing help to get back on their feet.

Bonnie Brae Convalescent Hospital is a for-profit facility owned by Bonnie Brae Convalescent Hospital Inc., and it's been managed by Marlo Cayton and Michelle Cayton since 2008, with a registered nurse as the Director of Nursing overseeing staff, and many roles filled in-house, like the MDS Coordinator handling resident records, the Activities Director planning group events, and Housekeeping staff keeping the place clean and safe. They focus on smooth transitions, handling discharge planning and medical billing, and offer recreation, social services, and a resident and family council aimed at improving care and sharing feedback. On the numbers side, the nurse staffing ratio averages 4.11 hours per resident daily, but the nurse turnover rate is about 12.5%, which is something to note.

Inspection reports in the last three years have shown some issues, especially with infection control, documentation, and making sure nurse and doctor services meet standards. Three infection-related deficiencies and one deficiency relating to abuse, neglect, and exploitation have been reported, though no actual harm was found, only potential for more than minimal harm, and there were cited issues around making sure all staff show appropriate competency. They focus on keeping residents safe and comfortable, but families should be aware of these history items. Nursing home services here cover personal, medical, and emotional support, and dietary planning is tailored for each resident by the Dietary Supervisor so meals meet health needs and taste preferences. Bonnie Brae Convalescent Hospital tries to deliver care that fits with what residents and their families want, with an eye on health, safety, and dignity.
