Archie Hendricks runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and the staffing is the standout: 6.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 57% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 61.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. Inspections in July 2025 turned up 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one was abuse-related. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS, inspections 3.

Mirabella at ASU runs a small 21-bed operation in Tempe, and it's staffed well above what's typical, about 7 hours of nursing care per resident each day, roughly double the national figure. The tradeoff shows up in consistency: weekends run about 15% leaner than weekdays, and 61.5% of staff turned over in the past year against a national rate near 46%, which means familiar faces are harder to count on. The current record lists 11 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last out in August 2025.

Rogers Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 118 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest asset is direct-care staffing: 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, the hours are there on paper, but they thin out when families visit. Turnover sits at 48.6%, a few points above the national 45.8%, so familiar faces aren't guaranteed. The current inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, none reaching harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2025. Quality measures score well; the two-star health inspection rating reflects that volume of findings.

Silver Oaks runs 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, a pattern families often notice when they visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 48.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning roughly half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in June 2025. Camden's for-profit corporate owner also runs a home whose quality measure scores come in at the top of CMS's five-star scale, even as its staffing and inspection ratings land at three.

Fayetteville Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 140 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 29 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, a meaningful distinction when you're comparing homes. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Annual turnover of 40% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The last inspection was November 2025, so the record is recent.

Southfork River Therapy And Living sits in Salem with 84 certified beds and for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the standout: five deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed just this March. Staffing is thinner than it looks on paper, 3.80 nurse hours per resident day runs slightly under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so questions about Saturday and Sunday care are fair ones. Turnover of 41.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure, though it still means a lot of new faces. Strong surveys, average hands-on time.

Quapaw Care and Rehabilitation Center runs 126 certified beds in Hot Springs under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.57 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86. That edge softens somewhat on weekends, when hours drop about 13% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 43.8%, essentially in line with the 45.8% national figure, not a standout either way. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit dated July 2025. CMS rates health inspections 3 out of 5 and quality measures 4 out of 5, so the picture is solid staffing and outcomes with a middling inspection history.

Nurse staffing at Ashton Place runs about 4.84 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, though weekends dip around 14% below what the home covers Monday through Friday. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, 17 deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related, from a survey completed in March 2025. What keeps the staffing picture from being straightforward is turnover: 53.7% a year against a national average near 45.8%, which means many of the aides and nurses providing those above-average hours are still new to the building. A for-profit LLC operates its 122 beds.

Edgewood Health And Rehab runs about 4.43 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 15 percent above the national average, which is a real cushion for a 100-bed home. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 14 percent below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 47 percent, slightly worse than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the faces around your family member may change. The inspection record is recent, from November 2024, with 12 deficiencies but none involving harm or abuse. It's a for-profit corporate home with strong quality scores and solid inspections; the staffing advantage is genuine, but consistency is where it wobbles.

Creekside At The Springs runs about 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip another 13% below its own weekday numbers, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 32.7%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people there tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 16 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and one fine of $15,915. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is recent.

Mitchell's Nursing Home runs about 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday pace, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially matching the national rate rather than beating it, which means retention here is ordinary, not exceptional. For-profit corporate ownership is worth noting when you tour.

Redwood Grove Post Acute runs 144 certified beds in Santa Cruz under a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing of 4.70 hours per resident day sits roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, the kind of margin that usually shows up in daily care. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concerns are on the record: 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2025. Annual turnover hits 56% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year. Strong hours, unsettled history.

Magnolia Gardens runs 99 certified beds in Granada Hills, corporate-owned and for-profit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially even with the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is a real strength here: 35.6% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are staying longer than at the typical home. The catch is inspections. A one-star health inspection rating with 82 deficiencies on record, two of them abuse-related, points to problems that staffing numbers alone don't capture. No deficiency reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score well; the inspection history is what pulls this one down.

Fallbrook Skilled Nursing runs 93 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against an average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover runs 40.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the team is somewhat more stable than most. Inspections are recent, from May 2025, and the home carries 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Health and quality measure ratings both land at 4 out of 5 stars, staffing at 3.

Desert Canyon Post Acute runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about six percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 25.3% is well below the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention usually means people stay, which matters for residents who need consistent caregivers. Weekend staffing dips roughly ten percent below weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where it gets harder to ignore: 111 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with a one-out-of-five inspection rating and a survey as recent as February 2026. Good staffing numbers don't cancel out that paper trail.

Manning Gardens runs on a relatively lean corporate ownership structure, but the numbers that matter most here are the people on the floor. Nurse staffing sits at 4.61 hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, and the staff retention is unusually steady, 26.7% turnover against a national 45.8% means caregivers tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is the tradeoff: 40 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. A single $12,000 fine and an inspection as recent as December 2025 suggest the state is watching closely.

Santa Monica Health Care Center runs on 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 37.1% beats the national figure of 45.8%, real signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way. The last survey was April 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. For-profit partnership ownership and that deficiency count are what pull the grade down despite solid staffing.

Sierra Valley Rehab Center runs 139 certified beds in Porterville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with turnover at 33.3% compared to the 45.8% norm. Weekends dip about 8% below weekday coverage, so care can thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. The trade-off shows up in inspection history, 62 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,190. The last inspection was February 27, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the concerns live.

Buena Park Nursing Center runs on a split personality. Nurse staffing sits at 5.43 hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and the 29% turnover rate is well below the typical 45.8%, that's a stable crew delivering more hands-on care than most homes. But the inspection record is ugly: 75 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, against just a single $8,278 fine. A one-star health inspection rating means the government found real, repeated problems. The quality measures look great at 5 stars, but those come largely from resident assessments the home reports itself, while surveys come from outside inspectors. High staffing is a real strength; the survey history is the reason to ask hard questions before moving anyone in.

Grass Valley Healthcare Center runs 86 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real margin, though weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Annual turnover of 40.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The record isn't clean: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. The last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. Staffing and quality measures both rated 4 out of 5; health inspections came in at 3.
