Country Inn of Downey has 9 state citations (5 serious, 4 minor) and 7 verified complaints since 2021 across 51 inspections, with the most recent inspection on January 22, 2026. A 2022 complaint investigation found that staff were covering non-smoking signage and permitting residents to smoke in areas designated as non-smoking, contrary to the facility's own house rules. A 2023 complaint investigation documented that the administrator acknowledged receiving a former resident's Social Security Income payments for 3 months after the resident's departure, and did not contact Social Security to redirect the funds until August of that year. A December 2025 complaint alleged a resident was sprayed in the face with an unknown chemical substance by a roommate; investigators found conflicting accounts between the 2 residents involved and no corroboration from the 5 other residents interviewed.
Country Inn of Downey is a large 150-bed assisted living community in downtown Downey, designed to provide affordable, hotel-style living for seniors. Operating for 24 years, it offers a full slate of services including hospice care, respite stays, and participation in the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) program for Medi-Cal-eligible residents.
The location near shops, restaurants, and PIH Health Hospital-Downey gives residents convenient access to essential services.
Accepts Medi-Cal through the ALW program
Participates in the Assisted Living Waiver, which can significantly offset costs for eligible residents. For families navigating affordability, this is one of the larger ALW-participating communities in the Downey area.
24 years of continuous operation
Licensed since 2002, Country Inn has operated through multiple economic cycles. That level of longevity in a 150-bed community signals sustainable operations and an established resident base.
Convenient downtown Downey location
Near shops, restaurants, and PIH Health Hospital-Downey. Having a hospital nearby matters — it reduces transport time for medical emergencies and routine appointments alike.
Comprehensive amenities for a value-oriented community
Beauty salon, library, activity room, outdoor patio, TV room, and a full activities calendar. The community positions itself as affordable but doesn't skimp on the basics that make daily life comfortable.
150 beds is a large, institutional setting
At this scale, expect a hotel-like atmosphere rather than a home-like one. Common areas will be shared among many residents. If your loved one prefers quiet, intimate settings, this may feel overwhelming.
Affordable positioning may mean tradeoffs
Country Inn emphasizes affordability. While that's a genuine advantage, visit in person to assess the condition of rooms, common areas, and the quality of the dining experience. Ask current residents or their families about their experience.
Phone and TV not included
Utilities are included in the room, but phone and TV service are at the resident's expense. Factor these recurring costs into your budget when comparing total monthly spend.
