In the fourth quarter of 2023, The Shores Post-Acute stood out as the largest nursing home in San Diego County, tied with one other nursing home, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). It shared its ranking with Country Hills Post Acute.

Data shows that the nursing center had a total of 305 beds available, 195 more than the average in San Diego County as of the fourth quarter of 2023. They aided an average of 296.7 residents during that period.

The Shores Post-Acute had an overall rating of 1 from the CMS, which lags behind the average of 3.2 recorded for nursing homes in California.

As of the fourth quarter of 2023, The Shores Post-Acute has already spent a total of $40,240 in 12 fines and suffered 12 penalties.

In total, there were 67 for-profit nursing homes in San Diego County, California.

According to US Census data, in 2020, nearly 1 in 6 Americans were aged 65 years or older. Since 1920, the older population skyrocketed from 4.9 million to 55.8 million, reflecting a growth rate of roughly 1,000%, five times higher than the average growth for the overall U.S. population.

A 2021 study suggests that nearly half of this age group, roughly 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and support. Additionally, the study projects that over a third of them may eventually need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
