Nursing Homes
in San Diego

Elderly nursing homes have different functions and licensing requirements than assisted living facilities.

San Diego nursing homes are regulated by the Department of Public Health.
Nursing homes, commonly called skilled nursing facilities, have medical personnel on site at all times. Nurses there can provide medical services for conditions that an assisted living facility cannot legally perform.
