Orange County nursing homes at a glance

Orange County has 72 Medicare-certified nursing homes with 7,736 beds. Their average CMS overall rating is 3.0 out of 5 stars, against 3.2 for California. 68 are certified to take Medi-Cal, 9 hold 5 stars, 10 hold 1 star, and 5 carry the CMS abuse citation flag (CMS data as of September 1, 2026).

Orange County families often compare nursing homes after a hospital stay at a large system such as Hoag, Providence or UCI Health, when a discharge planner hands over a short list with a day or two to decide. The list below lets you check each name on that sheet before you call.

How to read the ratings before you call

Every rating on this page comes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies nursing homes. CMS gives each home an overall rating and three underlying ones. Read them in this order:

  1. Inspections. What state inspectors found on site and in complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to game and the closest thing to a direct look at care.
  2. Staffing. How much nursing time residents get. The list shows the reported nurse hours per resident per day, so you can compare homes directly.
  3. Quality measures. Resident outcomes such as falls, pressure injuries and rehospitalizations, reported by the home.

Then look at the flags: an abuse citation, a place in the CMS Special Focus program for persistent problems, or federal fines in the last three years. Any of these is a reason to open the full inspection report, linked under each home, before you go further.

Every nursing home in Orange County

All 72 homes, sorted by CMS overall rating. Filter for Medi-Cal, for 4 and 5 stars, or by city. Data: CMS provider file processed September 1, 2026, retrieved October 11, 2026. A listing is not a recommendation, and a rating is not a guarantee: ratings describe past inspections and reported data, and only the home can tell you whether it has a bed and can meet your parent’s needs.

Questions to ask a Orange County nursing home on the first call

  1. Do you have a bed now, and is it a Medicare bed, a Medi-Cal bed, or private pay?
  2. If my parent comes in on Medicare for rehab and then needs to stay, can they keep the same bed once Medi-Cal takes over?
  3. What were the findings on your last state inspection, and what changed afterwards?
  4. How many residents does one nurse aide care for on day, evening and night shifts?
  5. How long have your director of nursing and administrator been here?
  6. Can we visit at different times of day, including a weekend?

When a nursing home is not the answer

A nursing home is for people who need nursing care around the clock. Many families arrive here after a hospital stay and later find that assisted living, memory care, or care at home fits better once rehab is done. If your parent may qualify for Medi-Cal, the Assisted Living Waiver and IHSS can pay for care outside a nursing home.

Common questions

7 entries

How many nursing homes are in Orange County?

72 Medicare-certified nursing homes, with 7,736 certified beds, according to the CMS provider file processed September 1, 2026. Every one is listed on this page with its CMS ratings.

Which nursing homes in Orange County take Medi-Cal?

68 of the 72 homes are certified to bill Medi-Cal (Medicaid). Use the "Takes Medi-Cal" filter in the list. Certification means the home can accept Medi-Cal payment; it does not mean a Medi-Cal bed is open today, so ask when you call.

What is the best-rated nursing home in Orange County?

9 homes in Orange County hold an overall 5-star CMS rating. Sort the list by overall rating, then compare the inspection and staffing stars underneath, because two homes with the same overall rating can look very different on inspections. We do not rank homes ourselves; the ratings are CMS's.

What does the abuse icon mean?

CMS shows it when a home was cited for abuse or neglect at the level of actual harm in its most recent inspection cycle, or at the level of potential harm in both of its two most recent cycles. It is a reason to read the inspection report before you go further, and to ask the home directly what changed.

How are the star ratings worked out?

CMS gives every certified nursing home one overall rating and three separate ratings: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. The inspection rating comes from on-site state surveys and complaint investigations, the staffing rating from the nurse hours the home reports, and the quality rating from resident outcomes. The full method is in the CMS Five-Star technical guide, linked in the sources.

Will Medicare pay for a nursing home?

Medicare covers a limited stay of skilled nursing or rehab, generally after a qualifying hospital stay and only while daily skilled care is needed. It does not pay for long-term custodial care. For a long stay, families pay privately, use long-term care insurance, or qualify for Medi-Cal.

Where can I see complaints and state inspections?

Each home in the list links to its full Medicare Care Compare page, which includes inspection reports. The California Department of Public Health also publishes state inspection and complaint records through Cal Health Find, linked in the sources.
