Golden Rose Care Center has 99 certified beds and enough nurses on paper, 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but the inspection record tells a different story. The current file lists 129 deficiencies, including four at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and ten tied to abuse. State and federal surveyors fined this for-profit corporate home 22 times for a total of $175,941.
Staffing holds up better than most on turnover, at 43.1% against a national 45.8%, though weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday levels. The last inspection was June 5, 2025. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with that many harm-level findings is the number that matters most here.
Sunray Healthcare Center has enough hands on deck, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, but that staffing cushion is doing a lot of work against a rough record elsewhere. The home carries 80 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus $147,893 in CMS fines across four penalties, and it currently sits in the Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staff turnover, at 41.4%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the trouble isn't retention alone. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company, and the last inspection was April 19, 2026.
Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 201 beds in North Hollywood under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Resident care measures look decent, but the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 141 deficiencies on file, including 9 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $87,215 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
Avalon Villa Care Center is a 131-bed for-profit home in Los Angeles, and its record is one of the heaviest in the federal system: 132 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and ten tied to abuse. Those numbers, plus $111,937 in fines, are why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, weekends run about 5% leaner than weekdays, and nearly half the staff turned over last year. The good quality-measure score doesn't offset an inspection record like this.
Mirage Post Acute runs 299 beds in Lancaster under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average. But the inspection record tells a different story: 262 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 21 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes, and there are three fines totaling $153,991. Staff turnover sits at 50.4%, above the 45.8% national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels. With a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2026 inspection date already on record, the high staffing figure isn't translating into safe care.
Woodland Care Center's numbers pull in opposite directions, and the split tells you where to look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, roughly a percent under the national average, with weekends about 5% thinner than weekdays, but turnover is 20.9%, less than half the national rate, which means the people who are there tend to stay. The problem is what inspections keep finding: 110 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm level, five tied to abuse, and $30,972 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Quality scores look strong, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a fresh April 2025 survey carry more weight.
Astoria Healthcare Center has real staffing strength: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and turnover at 33.9% is better than the 45.8% norm. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekdays. The problem is everything else. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sits alongside 124 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Its last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current. Good staffing numbers can't offset that pattern.
Griffith Park Healthcare Center runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its 42.9% turnover is slightly better than typical. But weekend staffing drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger issue sits in the inspection record: 96 deficiencies currently on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and 3 at the harm or jeopardy level, with $63,605 in fines across three penalties. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical scores look better than the day-to-day compliance picture. The most recent inspection was December 15, 2025.
Burbank Healthcare & Rehab is a 188-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and the numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing is genuinely better than most homes, about 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 41% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 6% below its own weekday level. What outweighs all of that is the inspection record: 142 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, twelve abuse-related, two fines totaling $31,803, and a current place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, with the last inspection in March 2026. Staffing can be adequate and the care still unsafe. That's the tension here.
Sherman Village Hcc has the staffing most families say they want, 4.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8% suggests workers tend to stay. Now the other side: a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating, 106 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $202,260 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing can be strong and a building can still be failing; here, state and federal inspectors have documented the second repeatedly.
Northvine Postacute Care is a 62-bed for-profit home in Santa Rosa, and the staffing numbers alone tell you something: 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends running about 5% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 47.5%, slightly above the national rate, so the people caring for residents keep changing. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with persistent problems, and its inspection record shows 76 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm level and 10 tied to abuse. Seven fines total $50,050. The last inspection was October 2024.
Bixby Towers runs 99 certified beds in Long Beach, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.26 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record carries 82 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $114,270. The most recent inspection was August 1, 2025, so the picture is current. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Strong quality measure scores sit alongside a single-star inspection rating, worth asking about directly.
Inland Valley runs 221 beds in Pomona under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding within about 4% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The problem is everything else. That staffing hasn't translated into safe care, 197 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $204,818. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Good ratios can't offset a record like that.
Nurse staffing at Hyde Park Healthcare Center runs about 4.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86, but that's the one number here that looks good. The rest is harder: 64.6% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff left within a year, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level. On the current record are 91 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 related to abuse, plus five fines totaling $264,318. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2-out-of-5 on quality measures rounds it out.
Rio Hondo runs 4.64 nurse hours per resident per day, about 20 percent above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 63.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for your relative were hired within the past year. The record shows 195 deficiencies, 16 of them serious enough to endanger residents, 18 tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $411,481. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.
Poudre Canyon Rehabilitation and Nursing is a for-profit LLC in Fort Collins with 83 certified beds, and its staffing is the first thing you should look at. At 2.65 nurse hours per resident day, it runs roughly 31% below the national average of 3.86, weekend coverage slips about 5% below its own weekdays, and annual turnover is 60.5% against a national 45.8%, so not only are there fewer hands, people keep leaving. That shows in the inspection record: 37 deficiencies on file, six of them carrying harm or jeopardy, seven tied to abuse, and $48,308 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was January 22, 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are what I'd ask about directly.
The Lodge At Red Rocks carries 64 deficiencies on its current record, and 8 of those reached harm or jeopardy level. Seven are abuse-related. That's the kind of pattern that put this home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, and the inspection history backs it up, 1 out of 5 stars on health inspections, with four fines totaling $144,259. Staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise rough picture.
Creekside Village runs on thin staffing and a troubling inspection record. Nurses provide about 3.47 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 12% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 74.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your family member are likely new, still learning the building, or already halfway out the door. The current record shows 53 deficiencies, nine tied to abuse and eight serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus five fines totaling $48,875. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
Westwood Post Acute carries 50 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy to residents. That's the kind of inspection history that lands a home in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, which means the government is watching it more closely than most. Staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 10 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 50.7 percent, above the national 45.8 percent. The quality measure score looks strong, but it's built from reported data, not from how the place actually runs day to day. Inspectors were last in on April 25, 2025.
Irondale Post Acute carries a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, and the record behind it is heavy: 27 deficiencies, six of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, and four tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent compliance problems. Five fines total $147,455, and the last inspection was February 2026. Staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11 percent thinner than weekdays. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that's self-reported data, the inspection findings and the penalty history are what families should weigh here.
