Corona Regional Medical Center offers skilled nursing services in a small, for-profit setting with a capacity of 40 beds. The facility operates under corporate ownership and is not part of a continuing care retirement community. Residents benefit from access to both Medicare and Medicaid programs, which can help with the costs of short-term rehabilitation after a qualifying hospital stay, as well as, in certain circumstances, longer-term care once other resources are exhausted. The facility is not specifically designated for Alzheimer’s care but provides a range of skilled nursing and support services as part of its integrated medical campus.
Recent inspection reports for Corona Regional Medical Center Skilled Nursing Facility indicate that there have been some areas of concern addressed by both the administration and staff. These include aspects of pressure ulcer care, development and implementation of resident care plans, appropriate use and management of feeding tubes, and staffing levels—particularly in food and nutrition services, including qualified dietitians and support personnel. The inspection also highlighted issues such as following nutritional guidelines, food sourcing and storage, and proper disposal of garbage and refuse, as well as the implementation of infection prevention and control measures. Additionally, timely reporting of suspected abuse, neglect, or theft and ensuring residents’ representatives can exercise their rights were issues noted in recent findings, with subsequent corrective actions taken as recorded by inspection follow-up dates.
While the facility participates in regular health, fire, and safety inspections by state agencies, there have been no fines or denials of payment reported in the preceding three years. These audits cover a broad range of standards from food safety to fire protection and aim to ensure the well-being of residents in a skilled nursing environment. Corona Regional Medical Center strives to provide an essential resource for rehabilitation and longer-term nursing support in the community. Their services are extended with the intention of meeting the changing needs of older adults, including those transitioning from hospital care to a supportive nursing environment. The medical center’s skilled nursing team is committed to the health, safety, and comfort of its residents, continually addressing areas of improvement identified in periodic state inspections to enhance the quality of care provided.
