PACIFIC COAST POST ACUTE

720 EAST ROMIE LANE, SALINAS, CA 93901

Pacific Coast Post Acute faces a stark contradiction: good resident outcomes on things like bedsores and falls, yet significantly low Registered Nurse hours. It's a place where staff tend to stay, reflected in their 36% nursing turnover rate, and residents aren't suffering major falls or skin breakdown; bedsores are less than half the national average, and falls with serious injury are also kept low.
