Nursing homes in California
Every nursing home in California that takes Medicare or Medicaid is inspected by state surveyors on behalf of the federal government, and every citation they write becomes public record. We publish that record, home by home, exactly as it stands.
There are 1165 of them. Since January 2024 the federal file holds 42,445 inspection citations against them — 1073 at actual-harm level or above, and 279 at immediate jeopardy. 113 homes carry the CMS abuse icon. 36 are in or a candidate for the Special Focus Facility program.

By county
Counted from CMS inspection records dated on or after January 1, 2024, in the file dated August 1, 2026. Citation counts also track how often a home was inspected and how many complaints were filed about it, so a higher count is not by itself proof of worse care. Every figure is sourced on the facility page it came from.
