Olympia Convalescent Hospital

Olympia Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles is a nursing home that offers convalescent and rehabilitative care for people recovering from illness or surgery, and the building itself uses the name "Hospital" right in the title so that's what everybody seems to call it, and it's owned by several people and groups, including Alter Levitin, Hadassah Weiss, Ruth Weiss, Helene Mayer, the J Nadel Family Limited Partnership, and Norman Nadel, and management falls to Charles Alexandre and Laura Ter Hakobyan who have both been there since 2021. The facility has 135 certified beds but averages about 116 residents a day, and the staff provide 4.05 nurse hours per resident per day with a nurse turnover rate of 25%, which is about average for the area, and there's a mix of long-term and short-term residents getting care for many conditions, including physical, mental, and memory problems. Residents have access to 24-hour personal care, regular health checks, and skilled nursing, because nurses are always around, and there are post-surgery orthopedic care programs for those who need recovery after medical procedures, as well as advanced wound care, pain management, infusion therapy, clinical nutrition, diabetes management, and hospice care, and for people who need help breathing, Elevate RT provides the respiratory therapy, while Horizon Wound Therapy Group handles advanced wound care, and staff include nurses, therapists, and social service workers, plus there's a focus on creating a comfortable place that supports healing and overall well-being. Olympia Convalescent Hospital is classified as a Korean Skilled Nursing Facility with a Korean Program featuring traditional Korean food, activities, and Korean-speaking staff, so that really makes it stand out for people who want that kind of environment, and the facility offers fun activities like Korean Dancers and Korean choir performances, and recreation therapy, so people can have things to enjoy together each day. Reports from state and federal inspectors show that Olympia Convalescent Hospital meets federal requirements overall, but it has been cited for 42 deficiencies in recent inspections and 5 are related to infection control, and inspectors found issues with protecting residents from all types of abuse and not reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or theft as quickly as they should, though there was no actual harm reported, but there was a chance of harm, so that's something people sometimes talk about. Families can take a virtual tour to look at the inside without leaving home, and for those who stay, there's a team making sure care plans are tailored to each person, which includes physical, occupational, and speech therapy right in the building, and dietary services for people who need a special menu or extra nutrition. The staff focuses on keeping people safe, reducing confusion for those with dementia, and making life a little easier no matter the level of care someone might need. The company that runs Olympia Convalescent Hospital is for-profit and operates as a limited liability company, and the main thing people notice is the specialized care in a place meant for recovery where cultural needs can be met and health problems are managed by experienced teams.
