Providence Little Comp of Mary Subacute Care Ctr ratings and staffing
Providence Little Comp of Mary Subacute Care Ctr is located at 1322 West Sixth Street in San Pedro, Los Angeles County. It is a non-profit facility operated by Providence Health System - Southern California, part of Providence Health & Services, with 125 certified beds and an average of 98.2 residents a day. It accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
CMS rates every certified nursing home in three separate categories, and the overall star is a blend of them:
- Health inspections, based on what state surveyors observe in person during unannounced visits. Weight this one most heavily, because it does not rely on data the facility reports about itself.
- Staffing, drawn from payroll-based records of how much nursing time each resident actually receives.
- Quality measures, built largely from data the facility submits. Read a high score here with more caution than the other two.
For Providence Little Comp of Mary Subacute Care Ctr, those scores are: health inspections 4 of 5, staffing 4 of 5, quality measures 4 of 5.
Staffing. Providence Little Comp of Mary Subacute Care Ctr reports 8.67 total nursing hours per resident per day, of which 2.03 are registered nurse hours. Over the reporting year, 25.2% of the nursing staff left. Registered nurses supervise aides, catch medication errors before they reach a resident, and notice when a person's condition is changing. Staffing is the single number that most reliably predicts whether a facility catches a problem early or lets it become a crisis.
How this home compares in the public record
CMS publishes each home's star rating and its payroll-based staffing hours, and it publishes the federal fines it has imposed. The county and California figures beside each number are the averages across those same published records.
These figures are taken from public CMS Care Compare records as of August 2026 (the August 2026 release) and public CDPH records as of June 2024 (the state enforcement dataset of August 27, 2024). They are reported as published and are not a recommendation, endorsement or assessment of any facility by this firm. How these figures were assembled.
