Walnut Creek Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation
Skilled nursing and rehabilitation care beside Rossmoor in Walnut Creek.
About
Rossmoor Parkway is the road into the Rossmoor retirement community in the Tice Valley part of Walnut Creek, and at 1224 Rossmoor Parkway, just inside the valley, stands Walnut Creek Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation, a nursing facility of more than a hundred staff according to chamber records, which also list Alecia Murillo, a purchasing executive, as the contact and 1995 as the year it was established. The import spelled the name wrong; it has been corrected here. Everything else on this page is drawn from public records and directory data, and the facility has not yet reviewed it.
Care a skilled nursing facility provides
Facilities of this type in Contra Costa County take two kinds of residents: short-stay patients recovering after a hospital admission, who receive physical, occupational and speech therapy with a view to going home, and long-stay residents who need round-the-clock nursing care. Wound care, medication management, IV therapy and post-surgical recovery after a joint replacement or a stroke are the common short-stay reasons; dementia care and complex chronic conditions the common long-stay ones.
Placement usually comes through a hospital discharge planner, so families rarely choose in a calm moment. It helps to have looked at options in advance.
Choosing a nursing facility
Look the facility up on the California Department of Public Health's Cal Health Find and on Medicare's Care Compare, which show inspection results, staffing levels and complaint history for every nursing home in the state. Visit in person, ideally at a mealtime, and ask about the nurse-to-resident ratio, how therapy is scheduled, whether the facility takes Medicare, Medi-Cal and your insurance, and what the discharge planning looks like. Ask to see the resident rights posting and how to reach the long-term-care ombudsman.

Common questions
Typical for this type of businessDoes Medicare cover a skilled nursing stay?
Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of skilled care after a qualifying three-day hospital stay, with co-payments after day 20. Ask the facility to confirm coverage for your case before admission.
How do I check a nursing home's inspection record?
Use Cal Health Find from the California Department of Public Health and Medicare's Care Compare. Both list survey deficiencies, complaints and staffing data for every facility.
Can I visit before choosing?
Yes. Tour in person, ideally at a mealtime, ask to see a therapy session, and talk to residents and families. Ask how many nursing hours per resident per day the facility provides.
Who do I contact with a concern about care?
Start with the facility's administrator or director of nursing. Every California nursing home must post how to reach the long-term-care ombudsman, who investigates independently.
