Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center

Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center runs a skilled nursing facility with 89 certified beds at 4636 Fountain Avenue in Los Angeles, and there's usually about 74 residents staying each day, so there's a steady flow of people getting care, and they've got a nurse staffing level of nearly seven hours per resident per day, with at least 4.47 hours of that being direct nursing care, which is above average for the area and the nurse turnover rate there is at 21%, much below the state average, which helps with stability. The skilled nursing part handles people who need a lot of help because they're very frail or can't do much for themselves anymore, and there are nursing homes, intermediate care, a long-term care unit called Chalet with sub-acute and 24-hour respiratory therapy, and services for seniors who need short-term rehab after being at the hospital but before heading back home, and they fill in with therapy like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus respiratory therapy and recreational activities run by an activity coordinator. There are problems listed on their inspection reports, including not always providing care to keep or improve residents' range of motion and issues with their infection control program, so there's room for improvement with some quality of life and care processes and they're still dealing with those official deficiencies. They run daily medical services that include regular hours with doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, as well as rehab with occupational, physical, and speech/language pathologists, and they have an X-ray service plus pharmacy services for medications, and you can find oncology care, orthopedic rehab, cardiac therapy, amputee and stroke recovery, post-acute care, and other specialty therapies too. Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center is a for-profit corporation, they accept Medicare and Medicaid, and have both family and resident councils for input on care. The hospital is well known in the area, with an "A" grade in patient safety from Leapfrog Group, and offers many services beyond nursing, like advanced surgical technology with the da Vinci Xi System, emergency care day and night, a Neonatal ICU for newborns, women's services like high-risk pregnancy care, Baby-Friendly practices, breastfeeding and childbirth classes, maternity tours, and a web nursery; plus full imaging and diagnostics, neuroscience, cancer detection, cardiovascular surgery, and pediatric care. There's a specialized rehab unit for stroke, cardiac, orthopedic, and amputee recovery, and a full range of inpatient and long-term care options if someone needs to stay after hospital care. Map services are available, along with tours for families and future residents who want to see the place and meet the staff before making a decision. Services range from independent and assisted living to respite, continuing care, home care, and even memory care options-although they do have documented issues and deficiencies to consider, they still provide many kinds of skilled and specialized care for older adults and people needing extra health support.
