PACS Group Nursing Homes in California

PACS Group is a publicly traded, for-profit company and the single largest nursing home operator in California. The CMS data places 39 of PACS Group's 132 rated homes in the bottom two tiers. What stands out is scale: with 133 facilities, PACS accumulates more total enforcement than any other operator in the state.

What the public record shows for PACS Group

Source: CMS Care Compare, August 2026, reported as published.

PACS homes average 3.23 stars, above the statewide mean of 3.16, and 29.5% fall in the bottom two tiers. The concern with PACS is not a uniformly low average. It is the volume of serious enforcement across a very large footprint, including 13 homes carrying the abuse icon.

Where PACS Group operates

PACS runs homes across the state, concentrated in San Diego (15), Los Angeles (14), Contra Costa (10), Riverside (9), Alameda (9), and San Bernardino (7) counties, among others.

You can look up any PACS home, and compare it against others in its area, in our California nursing home directory.

What this means for families

A serious injury at a PACS home, an untreated bedsore, a fall, an infection that became sepsis, or neglect more broadly, is worth examining against the specific facility's staffing and inspection record. Because PACS is a large chain, its homes' payroll-based staffing data and citation histories are all public, which is exactly where these cases begin. A company's size is not a defense, and the same standards under California's Elder Abuse Act apply to a 133-home operator as to a single independent facility.
