VILLA DEL RIO

7002 GAGE AVENUE, BELL GARDENS, CA 90201

Villa Del Rio has an overall rating of 1 star and is designated a Special Focus Facility candidate, a title given only to the worst performers nationally due to serious quality problems. There are four federal fines on record, and we can't tell if that's from last quarter or five years ago, but it's worth asking about when you visit, especially since falls with major injury are at a much lower rate than the national median.
