Freedom Village Healthcare Center is a 52-bed nursing home in Lake Forest, California. It holds a 3-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours per resident day, above the California average of 4.5. Its most recent inspection, in November 2025, cited 16 deficiencies, none of them severe.
Staffing appears to be a relative strength, with more nursing time available per resident than is typical in the state, which can support more attentive care. However, a recent inspection raised multiple concerns about basic care, residents’ rights, and communication/notification practices, so you should ask what specific corrective actions were taken and how the facility monitors sustained improvement in those areas.
