Laurel Heights Community Care

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
14%
Serious cites
0

Laurel Heights runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 3% below weekday levels, a small gap that matters when families visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 14.3%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 24 findings, one at the harm level, though none abuse-related, and a single $8,018 fine. Its last inspection was July 2025, and the 4/5 health inspection and 5/5 quality ratings suggest those issues aren't the whole story.

Lawton Skilled Nursing runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% above the national average, and turnover sits at 40%, better than the typical 45.8%. Those are real advantages. But weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see Monday isn't what shows up Saturday. The record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection is dated April 2026. This is a for-profit LLC with 68 beds. Strong inspection and quality scores, thinner weekend coverage, and a clean harm record for a mid-size for-profit, a reasonable picture with one gap worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Central Gardens Post Acute runs 92 beds in San Francisco under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing it has going. A February 2025 survey is recent, the health inspection and quality measure ratings are both 5 out of 5, and none of the 26 deficiencies on file rose to harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Staffing is where it thins out. At 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, it sits just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 31.7% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. Ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the shift you'd visit.

The Avenues Transitional Care Center is a for-profit, LLC-owned home in San Francisco with 140 certified beds, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.97 nurse hours per resident day. Turnover runs 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekday levels. The current inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $12,685, a light financial penalty given the volume. Federal ratings put quality measures and staffing at the top of the scale, with inspections at the middle, and the most recent survey came in March 2025. Strong day-to-day care numbers, but that harm-level finding and the deficiency count are worth asking about directly.

Annual turnover of 44.1% is a touch better than the national figure. The five-star health inspection rating is the standout here; the one abuse-related deficiency is worth asking about directly before you decide.

Laguna Honda runs 769 certified beds in San Francisco, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.83 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, while annual turnover of 17.3% is far below the 45.8% typical elsewhere. That combination is unusual and worth noting, though weekend coverage drops about 22% from weekday levels. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 40 deficiencies on file, six of them involving harm or jeopardy and seven tied to abuse, plus eight fines totaling $55,499. The most recent inspection was May 2, 2025, so the findings are current. Ownership is for-profit and individual. Strong staffing hasn't kept the regulatory record clean.

Inspections are current, from February 2025, and the health inspection rating is strong, though the record carries 36 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related.

San Francisco Post Acute runs about 4.35 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.5% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay here longer than at the typical home. The catch is how thin weekends get: staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, which matters if your family visits or calls on a Saturday. Twenty-four deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was December 2024. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.

San Francisco Health Care runs 168 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.79 hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours aren't evenly spread across the week. The current record shows 34 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $152,404. Staff turnover at 40.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the most recent inspection was February 2025. What pulls the record down is the inspection history and those harm-level findings, not the day-to-day staffing numbers.

City View Post Acute runs 180 beds in San Francisco under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday level, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Sunday. Staff turnover is 38.2%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies on file, including 7 tied to abuse, plus a $42,528 fine and a two-star health inspection rating, though nothing reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current.
