Los Palos Convalescent Hospital

Los Palos Convalescent Hospital operates as a skilled nursing facility in San Pedro, serving people who need both short-term rehabilitation after a stay in a hospital and long-term care if they're too frail to manage on their own. The facility works under the rules set by Los Angeles County and follows tough healthcare standards, and over the years, inspection grades and care scores have changed, with the most recent grade being a B. Registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, CNAs, and therapists give daily care, and you'll see a mix of staff helping with meals, medications, bathing, and general health needs. People who stay here might get help with things like diabetes management, wound care, pain control, and special home making tasks, and there's also experienced help for folks who have dementia or Alzheimer's. Los Palos has services for people who need speech therapy, occupational or physical therapy, IV antibiotics, or nutritional counseling, and you can arrange for dialysis transportation and other medical rides. The facility has a supportive environment, with a focus on comfort and offering plenty of choices for care, including hospice, post-acute services, and mental health support. All care follows a goal of helping people recover after a hospital visit, manage a chronic illness, or simply live as well as possible if they need full-time help, and everything is set up to make recovery and daily living a bit easier for both short and long stays.
