Built from personal experience.
Run with genuine accountability.
After experiencing inadequate in-home care for our own loved ones, we built the alternative we wished had existed. That history shapes every decision we make.
Highest Medicare rating in the region
We consistently hold the highest Medicare star rating among providers in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties — because our clinical outcomes earn it.
Zero-deficiency Medicare accreditation
Our most recent Medicare accreditation review resulted in zero deficiencies — the clinical equivalent of a perfect score.
A standard we apply to our own families
Every hire passes stringent screening. Our real test: would we trust this person with our own parents? If not, they don't join our team.
Locally owned, community invested
Pablo Martinez founded Superior in 2007 and still works alongside his team. We coach youth sports, participate in the Lompoc Rotary, and invest in our community.
