Del Mar Convalescent Hospital sits at 3136 Del Mar Ave in Rosemead, California, where folks find a 59-bed skilled nursing facility, although they're not taking on any new patients right now. People working there speak English and offer 24-hour care for those needing help with health and daily living, and really, they've got nurses and clinicians doing their best to help residents recover after leaving the hospital or just settle in for a longer stay if they need it. There are rooms and certified beds, a nurses station for coordinating care, and a lobby and hallways all set up to help people feel as comfortable as possible, and they've even got shaded seating areas outside for some fresh air.
Del Mar Convalescent Hospital focuses on individualized care plans, making room for folks to get the specific help they need, and the staff provides comprehensive social services for residents and families, helping with information, planning care, and sorting out the best way to handle being there. Their rehabilitation programs and activities aim to get people moving and regaining their independence, and they're big on activities-making things social and positive to keep spirits up.
The place has been managed by Sun Mar Management Services since 1983, and Gibraltar Convalescent Hospital Inc owns it, with Frank Johnson and Eli Marmur sharing indirect ownership. Their team includes professional caregivers and medical consultants, and they try to run things with a positive attitude, focusing on compassionate care and patients' needs, and it's even got its own branding and logo. They run a free Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) school, which might stand out for people looking to train in the field.
Del Mar sees an average of 56 residents each day and keeps nurse turnover at 25.5% over twelve months, which is lower than the state average, and the nursing staff is on-hand for about 4.09 hours per resident each day, a bit below state averages. Inspection reports show 28 deficiencies, including a few on infection control and some related to keeping too many people in a room, notification issues with transfers or discharges, and food handling concerns. There's a November 2024 inspection with 7 deficiencies noted, and previous reports available for those who like to dig into details. With services set up for seniors needing more support due to physical or mental health needs, Del Mar Convalescent Hospital's main goal is to help people feel safe, cared for, and as independent as possible for as long as they're there.
