Every CCRC nursing home in Los Angeles County, California
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. Staff turnover is 25.8 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. The 28 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection dates to January 2026.
Claremont Manor runs high on staffing: 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 35% above the national average, and it holds onto workers far better than most, 22.5% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, which matters if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the caution flag. The home carries 55 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Its last inspection was March 2026. A nonprofit with strong staffing and steady retention, but that deficiency list is where I'd focus your questions before touring.
Villa Gardens runs 5.06 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 21.8 percent against a national 45.8, that kind of retention usually means residents see the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 31 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count, though a 3/5 inspection rating suggests some of those findings weren't trivial. The last survey was December 2025, so the picture is current.
Pilgrim Place runs a non-profit home with 62 beds in Claremont, and the staffing numbers are its strongest story: 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent above the national average, with turnover at 39.7 percent versus the 45.8 percent norm. The catch is consistency, weekend coverage drops roughly 12 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. Inspections are the weak spot: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 52 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. The last survey was December 5, 2025. Ask about those abuse-related findings and how weekend shifts get covered before you decide.
Royal Oaks Manor-Bradbury Oaks runs on a small 48-bed nonprofit campus, and its staffing is the headline: 4.81 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 30.8% against a 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Weekends dip about 8% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The caution is inspection history: 42 deficiencies on record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a 3/5 inspection rating despite a January 2026 survey.
Citrus Heights Health Center runs on a nonprofit model with just 32 certified beds, and the numbers suggest that small size works in its favor. Nurse staffing sits at 5.12 hours per resident day, about a third higher than the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. The home was inspected recently, in August 2025, and its 16 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level, plus one abuse-related citation. That staffing consistency, along with a clean recent inspection, is what's actually behind the grade.
Mount San Antonio Gardens runs 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 54 percent above the national average of 3.86, and its state inspection record shows 17 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Families should know the catch: weekend staffing drops about 20 percent below the home's own weekday level, so care may look thinner on Saturdays and Sundays than the weekday numbers suggest. The 2025-05-30 inspection is recent, and as a nonprofit corporation it answers to a board rather than shareholders, which usually means steadier staffing decisions.
Hollenbeck Palms runs on a nonprofit model with 106 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 28.1% against a national 45.8%, which suggests workers are staying put. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the picture gets more complicated, 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, though the most recent inspection was in December 2025, so the record is current.
Ararat Post Acute runs a tight ship on staffing for a 28-bed for-profit home in Glendale. At 5.36 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 39%, and a 20% turnover rate is less than half the national figure, that kind of stability matters more than any star rating. The catch is in the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to trigger a harm or jeopardy finding, and two fines totaling $49,089. Weekend coverage also dips about 14% below weekday levels, so care can thin out when families visit. The most recent inspection was January 2026, so the record is current. Strong staffing, but the deficiency history is real.
Solheim Senior Community runs on a nonprofit model with 76 certified beds in Los Angeles, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover lands at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble is inspections: 37 deficiencies on record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related, and a 2/5 health inspection star. That lopsided pattern, solid staffing, weaker inspection history, is what shapes the picture here. The most recent inspection was December 18, 2025, so the record is current.
Bayshire San Dimas runs a 45-bed for-profit home in LA County, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average of 3.86 by roughly 15%, and its 32.7% turnover sits well under the 45.8% national figure, both meaningful, since consistent caregivers matter more than almost anything else. The catch is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and eight fines totaling $85,083. Quality measures score well and the last inspection is recent, but that many citations points to a building where care planning and safety practices slip, even with enough staff on hand.
Artesia Christian Home runs a genuinely strong staffing operation for a 66-bed nonprofit, 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average, with turnover at 35.6% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what you'd see midweek.
The problem sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $98,079 fine, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Good staffing numbers can't offset that kind of regulatory history, ask pointed questions about those abuse citations before considering this one.
La Brea Rehabilitation Center runs 141 beds in Los Angeles under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.6% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so care thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concern sits: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 98 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $33,091 has been levied, and the last inspection was June 19, 2025.
