What Makes This Website Different
Cal Long Term Care Compare is a quality performance reporting program managed by a diverse Board of Directors who represent researchers, patient safety advocacy groups, long term care providers, health plans, and consumer groups – for details, see Our Team. The data published on this website is the result of a partnership with Cal Healthcare Compare and the UC Davis Center for Healthcare Policy and Research and the Schools of Medicine and Nursing. Cal Healthcare Compare oversees the development and maintenance of this long-term care website. UC Davis is responsible for analyzing the data and compiling the ratings.
Cal Healthcare Compare publishes two free, publicly available websites featuring quality performance information:
- Cal Hospital Compare provides information about California hospitals
- Cal Long Term Care Compare provides information about community-based care in skilled nursing homes, assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and adult day health care centers, as well as home health agencies and hospice agencies.
Because Cal Long Term Care Compare is not a commercial entity or associated with any facility, you can be assured that the site always presents objective and unbiased information. There is no charge to use the site and you are not required to register or provide any contact information.
Quality data and ratings for nursing homes, home health, and hospice care will be updated on the Cal Long Term Care Compare website bi-annually and information about assisted living facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and adult day health centers will be updated annually.
