Long Beach Healthcare Center Ratings and Reviews

Medicare.gov has given Long Beach Healthcare Center an overall rating of two out of five stars and has flagged the facility for allegations of abuse. The overall score reflects performance in health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. While the facility earned five stars for quality measures, it received three stars for staffing and just one star for health inspections.

Online reviews posted by residents and families reflect sharply different experiences. Some reviewers describe positive experiences and commend staff members for being kind and responsive. Others urge families to look elsewhere, citing concerns about cleanliness and inadequate care.

Reported Issues, Complaints, and Violations at Long Beach Healthcare Center

Throughout 2025, inspectors cited the facility for numerous deficiencies, including failing to follow treatment orders, failing to protect residents from abuse by other residents, failing to keep essential equipment in safe working condition, and failing to safeguard residents’ personal and medical records. Regulators also cited the facility for failing to provide safe and appropriate respiratory care when required, along with other violations related to resident health and safety.

That same year, the facility faced two fines totaling more than $60,000 in connection with abuse allegations, medication errors, and failures to notify physicians of changes in residents’ conditions. Medicare also imposed a payment denial in January 2025, stopping payments for new admissions until the facility corrected specific violations. The payment denial stemmed from a report in which one resident punched another resident in the head 10 times.

The Long Beach Post reports that regulators previously issued a rare “AA” citation to Long Beach Healthcare Center in 2019. This citation is reserved for cases in which a nursing home’s actions directly result in a resident’s death.

California Nursing Home Residents’ Rights and Legal Protections

California law aims to protect nursing home residents in the Golden State from neglect, abuse, and mistreatment. Nursing home residents have the following key rights, among others:

The Right to Protection from Harm: California Health & Safety Code § 1569.269 protects residents from abuse or neglect and ensures the means to report concerns safely.
The Right to Quality Care: California Health & Safety Code §1599.1 ensures that residents receive safe, medically appropriate care and prohibits the use of unnecessary restraints.

When a nursing home or its staff violates any of these rights, Lanzone Morgan, LLP, helps families pursue legal action to hold negligent elder care facilities accountable and protect the safety, health, and dignity of their loved ones.
