La Palma Nursing Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 72-bed for-profit home in Anaheim, 5.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47% above the national average, and turnover at 27.3% sits well under the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage does dip about 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 62 deficiencies on record look alarming until you notice none reached harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A September 2025 inspection is recent, and the 5/5 quality measure rating suggests clinical outcomes are holding up.

San Luis Transitional Care is a small for-profit home, 23 beds, with a recent inspection and a clean record on serious problems: seven deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. Its inspection and quality measure ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale, and staff turnover runs slightly below the national average. The catch is staffing. CMS rates that dimension at the bottom of its scale, which matters more in a 23-bed home, where there's less slack to absorb a callout or a heavy shift. Families weighing this one should ask directly how many aides are on the floor at night and on weekends, because the paperwork looks strong and the coverage is the open question.

Morton Bakar Center in Hayward holds 97 certified beds and is run by a for-profit corporation. Its most striking number is staff retention: turnover sits at 14.9%, well under the 45.8% national average, which matters because consistent caregivers know their residents. Total nurse staffing comes in at 3.73 hours per resident day, just under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 14% lighter than weekdays, a dip worth asking about. The inspection record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2024.

Oakview Skilled Nursing runs 48 beds in Thousand Oaks under for-profit partnership ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 5.73 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 12% below its own weekday level, a modest drop rather than the sharp falloff many homes show. Staff turnover is 21.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection completed January 31, 2025.

Lakeside Special Care Center runs 4.20 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 31.7% is well below the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing drops about 13% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last in on February 13, 2025, and the home holds top marks in all three CMS categories. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 94 certified beds.

Heritage Place sits in Soldotna with 60 certified beds and a corporate for-profit owner, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 6.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 77% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover runs 23.6%, well under the national 45.8%, that kind of retention usually means familiar faces. The current record shows 19 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5 stars, and the inspection history rates 3.

Vi at Grayhawk runs 36 certified beds in Scottsdale under for-profit partnership ownership, and the nurse staffing number is the first thing that stands out: 5.29 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record shows just two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in September 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five.

Crestpark Helena runs a hundred certified beds in Phillips County under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 27% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 20.9%, less than half the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 11% below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, which is worth a direct question on hiring and supervision. Inspections are recent, September 2025, and both health inspection and quality measures came in at 4 out of 5.

Oakpark Healthcare Center runs about 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually steady for this industry, turnover near 30% against a national figure closer to 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. The inspection record is the mixed part: 39 deficiencies on file, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection came in April 2026. Quality and staffing measures both score at the top of CMS's scale; the health inspection side sits mid-range.

Vi at Highlands Ranch runs 5.89 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and the weekend dip is mild at about 8 percent. The current record shows three deficiencies, none of them involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was September 2024. Turnover sits at 43.2 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, against a 24-bed for-profit corporate operation. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, come in at five out of five, which lines up with what the numbers show: strong daily coverage, a clean inspection history, and staffing that holds up through the weekend.

Essex Meadows runs on 5.00 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.5% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, that combination is why its staffing picture holds up. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, which is worth asking about directly. A state inspection in January 2025 was recent enough to reflect current conditions. It's a for-profit LLC with 45 beds, meaning smaller scale and less margin for error when a shift runs thin.

The 59-bed home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company and was last inspected in March 2025, carrying 18 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, a small but real gap if you're planning visits.

Vi at Aventura runs 5.03 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the typical American nursing home, and its staff turnover sits at 15.6% against a national average near 46%. That combination, more hands and far fewer people leaving, is uncommon. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below weekday levels, a normal pattern, and seven deficiencies on record with none at harm level and none tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was September 2025. It's a small, for-profit corporate home: 40 certified beds, five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

The Springs at Monarch Landing is a for-profit LLC home in Naperville with 96 certified beds, and its numbers hold up under scrutiny. Nurse staffing runs 5.15 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't fall off a cliff on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 36.8%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. On the inspection side, 11 deficiencies appear on the current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection completed in July 2024. All three CMS star ratings land at 5 out of 5.

Sunrise Terrace runs a tight ship on paper, and the numbers hold up. Staffing sits at 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, a modest gap that suggests the schedule doesn't fall apart on Saturdays. The standout is turnover: 12.1% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for your family member are more likely to still be there next year. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. A for-profit corporation owns it, so watch the margins, but the state survey results are recent and clean.

Terrace Glen Village runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% above the national average, but weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Inspections in November 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, 3 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the 4/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Quality and staffing measures both came back 5/5. Corporate for-profit ownership of a 40-bed home means fewer layers between decisions and residents.

Lone Tree Retirement in Meade runs 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% above the national average, and that staffing shows: the federal staffing rating comes in at 5 out of 5, with turnover at 39.6%, lower than the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The catch is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, one involving actual harm, with the last survey in August 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but that one harm-level finding and a 3-out-of-5 inspection rating are what hold this for-profit home back.

Garrett County Subacute Unit is a ten-bed for-profit home in Oakland, and its staffing numbers are the story here. At 9.45 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly two and a half times the national average, and turnover sits at 35.3%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for a small facility where one departure is felt. The trade-off is weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level. Inspections back up the rest: a clean current record of eight deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing is rare company.

Staff turnover sits at 38.5%, lower than the 45.8% national rate, which suggests people tend to stick around here more than at the average home.

Nurse staffing at Copley At Stoughton runs 4.27 hours per resident day, about 11 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels, so ask how that gap gets filled. Annual turnover of 20.6 percent sits well under the national 45.8 percent, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The inspection record is the counterweight: 22 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $10,517 fine, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. For-profit partnership ownership, 123 beds. Strong staffing and quality marks, a thinner inspection history.
