Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin ratings and staffing

Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin is located at 2210 E. First Street in Santa Ana, Orange County. It is a for-profit facility operated by 2210 Santa Ana Opco, LLC, part of Abraham Bak & Menachem Gastwirth, with 99 certified beds and an average of 97.9 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 Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin, those scores are: health inspections 1 of 5, staffing 3 of 5, quality measures 2 of 5.

Staffing. Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin reports 4.27 total nursing hours per resident per day, of which 0.33 are registered nurse hours. Over the reporting year, 24.5% 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.

CMS overall rating 1 of 5 Orange County average 3.10 of 5 across 72 rated homes. California average 3.16 of 5 across 1,154 rated homes
Nursing hours per resident per day 4.27 Orange County average 4.78. California average 4.52
Federal fines $37,182 Orange County average $3,621 per home. California average $24,666 per home

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.

California state citations

California inspects and cites nursing homes separately from the federal government. The Department of Public Health issues three classes of citation. A class AA citation is a class A violation that the Department of Public Health determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident's death. A class A citation is a violation the Department determined presented an imminent danger of death or serious harm to residents, or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result. A class B citation is a violation the Department determined had a direct or immediate relationship to residents' health, safety or security, other than a class AA or A violation.

State records show 5 citations against Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin between May 5, 2005 and December 13, 2023: 1 class A and 4 class B, with $24,750 in assessed penalties.

  • December 13, 2023, class B, Other. $2,000 penalty.
  • June 23, 2010, class B, Patient Rights. $1,000 penalty.
  • January 21, 2009, class A, Staffing. $20,000 penalty.
  • September 28, 2006, class B, Patient Care. $1,000 penalty.
  • May 5, 2005, class B, Patient Care. $750 penalty.

Across Orange County's 72 certified facilities, the average is about 5.7 state citations per facility. Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin's 5 is close to that average.

A citation records a determination by state surveyors. A citation does not by itself establish that any particular resident was injured or that the facility is liable to anyone.

What to do if you are worried about care at this facility

You will usually notice something is wrong before anyone official does, and you do not need proof before you act. If you are concerned about care at Advanced Rehab Center of Tustin, you can take these steps:

Write down what you see. Note dates, times, and specific concerns, and photograph anything relevant. A clear, contemporaneous record matters if an investigation follows.

File a complaint with the California Department of Public Health. CDPH licenses and inspects skilled nursing facilities and investigates complaints, and a serious complaint can trigger an on-site inspection. You can file online through CDPH's Cal Health Find system, which routes your complaint to the Orange County licensing district office.

Contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The ombudsman is a free advocate who will visit your loved one, look into your concerns, and press the facility on their behalf. Orange County's ombudsman program can be reached at (800) 300-6222. This is often the fastest first step when the issue is care quality rather than an emergency.

If your loved one was harmed

We came to this work from the other side. We spent years defending nursing homes, which means we know how a facility builds a file to protect itself and where the gaps in that file tend to be. Under California's Elder Abuse Act (Welfare and Institutions Code sections 15600 to 15675), a family that proves, by clear and convincing evidence, that neglect was committed with recklessness, oppression, fraud or malice can recover remedies beyond an ordinary injury claim, including attorney's fees (section 15657).
