McKinley Park Care Center sits in East Sacramento on a quiet, tree-lined street in a well-known neighborhood, and the facility has 86 certified beds where people get both short-term rehab and long-term care. The center's for-profit ownership links directly to Hudson River Opco LLC, with other involvement from PACS Group, Inc. and private owners like Mark Hancock and Jason Murray, and the team runs with support from PACS Services, which handles things in the background and helps with consulting. The center's nurse staffing averages about 3.6 hours per resident daily, which is less than the California state average of 4.5 hours, and the nurse turnover rate stands at about 44.9%, a bit higher than the state average of 40%. Over three inspection periods, McKinley Park Care Center reported 62 total deficiencies, including six related to infections and others related to infection control, abuse prevention, and resident rights, and it's made a public focus on trying to protect residents from abuse, neglect, and exploitation while also noting where it's received specific deficiencies in those areas.
Inside, there's a comfortable setting with round-the-clock skilled nursing, a large rehab gym, and both inside and outside areas like courtyards and gardens where residents and their families can relax. On the care side, the staff includes Registered Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Restorative Nurse Assistants, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, and a social services team led by a Social Services Director, all focused on creating patient-centered, customized rehab plans for people recovering from surgery, injury, or illness. The facility is known for having one Registered Nurse on duty 24 hours per day, which helped it earn a Five Star Rating for Registered Nurse staffing, though the overall nurse hours per resident are still below average, and nurse turnover stays on the higher end. Residents have access to family support services, help with discharge planning, and have the option to use online services like virtual tours, online bill pay, and eCard messaging to stay in touch with loved ones.
The McKinley Park Care Center has experienced deficiencies relating to infections, including issues like post-surgery blood clots, accidental cuts, MRSA, C. diff, and catheter-related bloodstream and urinary infections, and inspection records show a history of violations, particularly in infection control and resident rights. The daily life in the center includes planned activities for both mind and body, organized outings, fitness and wellness programs, social events, and amenities such as salon services, cable or satellite in the rooms, guest meals, and transportation for shopping and appointments. Registered Dietitians oversee meals, and the Environmental Services team manages laundry, housekeeping, and repairs, while the leadership group includes a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, Medical Director, and other directors to keep things running. Families can always book a tour, visit the grounds, see the rehab gym, check out the courtyards, and meet with staff face-to-face or virtually to get a sense for the facility.
McKinley Park Care Center provides skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies on-site, with a strong push to help people return home after surgery or illness when possible, and the center gets support from multiple healthcare memberships and badges, such as PACS Services, CAHF Proud Member, Medi-Cal Provider, and AHCA Proud Member. While deficiencies in infection control and staff turnover are areas to note, the facility offers 24/7 skilled care, on-site rehabilitation, activities, and support services, all aimed at supporting residents' overall well-being in a setting that balances medical needs with daily living comforts.
