About nursing homes in Santa Barbara

Nursing homes, also called skilled nursing facilities, care for people who need ongoing nursing, rehabilitation following a hospital stay, or long-term residential support. CMS inspects them about once a year and issues Five-Star ratings covering health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

Think of ratings as a beginning, not a final word. Look at the inspection findings, staffing levels, and quality measures that sit behind each score, and verify that the services you actually need are available.

Where you can, visit each option in Santa Barbara, CA, ask how care plans are created and revisited, and get costs, coverage, and availability confirmed in writing. Steady staffing and open communication with families count for as much as any published rating.
