Apple Valley Care Center

11959 Apple Valley Rd, Apple Valley, CA 92308

Apple Valley Care Center presents a striking contrast: inspectors found a clean operation, earning a perfect 5.0-star health inspection rating, which is the hardest score to manipulate and indicates a well-run facility. Residents can expect prompt responses to call lights, with aides present during busy times, evidenced by zero falls with major injury, a difficult outcome to achieve.
