Marycrest Manor is a fifty-seven bed nonprofit in Culver City, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 5.12 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about a third above the national average, and its staff turnover of 20.8% is less than half the national rate, a big deal in a field where aides cycling out the door is often the quiet reason care slips. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below its own weekday level, which is common but still worth asking about. On inspections, nineteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in January 2026.

Grace Home in Livingston runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with just 33 certified beds, and the numbers reflect a stable, well-run operation. Nurse staffing sits at 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout figure: 16.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests caregivers stay. The home carries 18 deficiencies on its record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was in May 2026.

Atherton Baptist Home sits in Alhambra with 113 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, which tends to show up in the numbers here. Nurses provide 4.29 hours per resident day, about 11 percent more than the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips roughly 12 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays.

Nurse staffing here runs 8.97 hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 5% below weekday levels.

The health inspection rating is 5/5, though the record shows 10 deficiencies, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level; the most recent inspection was January 9, 2026. Note this is a 38-bed hospital-based unit, so the numbers reflect a small, closely staffed operation rather than a typical standalone nursing home.

Carlsbad By The Sea runs 33 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday and Sunday care. Turnover sits at 25%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The home carries 8 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated March 25, 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

St. John Kronstadt runs about 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The turnover number is the real standout: 12.2% against a national average near 46%, which suggests a stable crew that knows the residents. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record, 33 total, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, so read the actual inspection reports rather than trusting the star ratings alone. The most recent state visit was November 2025, so the picture is current.

Acc Care Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 5.42 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday levels, which matters because weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly thin out. Turnover sits at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 45 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $24,087, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current.

Sunny View Manor runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 4.92 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its staff tend to stay, with turnover at 14.3% against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse, and a single fine of $8,176. Its last inspection was in April 2025, and the nonprofit owner keeps both quality and staffing marks at the top of the federal scale.

The Terraces of Los Gatos runs on a nonprofit model with 59 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 22 percent above the national average, roughly 4.73 hours per resident per day against 3.86. Turnover is 30.4 percent, well below the national 45.8, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Weekend coverage does dip about 12 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection history is the catch: 30 deficiencies on record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $32,487. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2025, so the picture is current.

The Jewish Home & Rehab Center runs 362 beds on a nonprofit model, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.20 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover comes in at 25.6% against a national 45.8%, so the same caregivers are likelier to still be there next year. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Strong staffing and low turnover are real advantages, but the abuse-related findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Piedmont Gardens runs on a nonprofit model with 94 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself. At 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23 percent above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, which is a smaller drop than many homes manage. Staff turnover tells a similar story: 21.2 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Eleven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. For a family weighing options, the pattern here is steady hands and few red flags.

Adventist Health Sonora's nursing home runs four and a half nurse hours per resident each day, about a fifth more than the typical American nursing home, and its weekend coverage, while lighter than weekdays, doesn't fall off a cliff. Staff turnover of roughly 28 percent is well below the national figure, which matters more than any single inspection score, since familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident's condition. The trade-off sits in the record: 39 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm. State inspectors were last in the building in June 2025.

Inspections were recent and the health record is solid, though 34 deficiencies include one at harm level and two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. Nonprofit ownership and a B grade reflect a home whose day-to-day care capacity is strong, with specific past problems worth understanding before you decide.

Regents Point - Windcrest runs a lean ship on the staffing side. Its 4.99 nurse hours per resident day sit about 29% above the national average, and the team sticks around far longer than most, 30.8% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you visit Saturdays. The record isn't spotless: 34 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025. This nonprofit's clinical quality measures and inspection history both land at four stars, with staffing at the top of the scale.

Meadowood runs on a non-profit model with 100 certified beds in Stockton, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That matters, though weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.

The record shows 37 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and the last inspection was in February 2026. This nonprofit's strength sits in staffing and quality measures rather than a spotless inspection history, so read the survey findings yourself before deciding.

The nonprofit operator has a 5/5 inspection rating and 5/5 on quality measures, though staffing scored 4/5 despite the high hours, likely a mix or retention issue.
