Our read on Catalina Island Health
Catalina Island Health is an eight-bed nonprofit on Avalon, and its inspection record is the strong part: a four-star health inspection score, 19 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. Staffing is the weak side, rated one star, which matters more in a facility this small, where there's little slack if someone calls out. The most recent inspection was May 8, 2025, so the picture is current. With eight residents, care is personal by necessity, but ask directly how many nurses and aides are on site overnight and what happens when someone needs care the island can't provide.
