About

South Bay Post Acute Care in Chula Vista provides skilled nursing and post-acute rehabilitation from a 99-bed facility at 553 F Street, operating under California HCAI facility ID 206370904. The center receives post-surgical and post-hospitalization patients from both Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center on Medical Center Drive and Scripps Mercy Hospital, coordinating discharge-to-rehab transitions for orthopedic, cardiac, and neurological cases. Part of The Ensign Group's national skilled-nursing portfolio, the facility delivers in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy alongside wound care, IV therapy, and complex medical management for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residential stays. The Integrated Cognitive Program combines standardized functional cognitive assessments with individualized daily-life inventories for residents with Alzheimer's disease, and chronic-condition medication management coordinates with community pharmacies and primary-care providers, including San Ysidro Health Chula Vista, to maintain continuity of care across the post-acute transition. Rehabilitation protocols deploy AlterG anti-gravity treadmill technology for lower-extremity weight-bearing progression, enabling graded loading from 20% to 100% of body weight in 1% increments during post-surgical gait retraining.
