Community Memorial Continuing Care Center in Ojai runs on about 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 26.7% turnover against a national rate near 46%. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none of them involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. This is a nonprofit corporation with 75 certified beds, and the staffing, inspection, and quality measure ratings all sit at the top of CMS's scale.

Torrance Memorial Med Ctr Snf/Dp runs on unusually heavy staffing: 8.46 nurse hours per resident per day, more than double the national average of 3.86. That number holds up on weekends too, dipping only about 7% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 21.9% against a national average of 45.8%, people tend to stay. The home carries 28 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2026. As a nonprofit with 40 certified beds, it pairs a clean federal record with staffing most homes can't match.

Tahoe Forest Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on a nonprofit model with 37 certified beds, and the numbers suggest it's doing right by its residents. Nurse staffing sits at 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from weekday levels, which matters because that's where many homes cut corners. Staff turnover is 22%, less than half the national rate, so you're seeing familiar faces rather than a revolving door. The home has 8 deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and its most recent inspection was in February 2026. For a small rural unit, this is a steady operation.

Nurse staffing here runs about 6.18 hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average, and the aide and nurse turnover rate of 16% is well under the national figure of about 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The home is church-affiliated and nonprofit, holds a five-star CMS inspection rating, and its last inspection in April 2026 left 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Quality measures score four stars. That combination of high staffing, low turnover, and no harm-level findings is what's behind the grade.

Staffing at this La Mesa nonprofit runs 6.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 74% above the national average of 3.86, and the 15.2% annual turnover is far below the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekdays, worth asking about. The 14 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2025. With 30 certified beds, it's small enough that a hospital-based operation can keep close tabs on residents.

Totally Kids Rehabilitation Hospital runs about 11.9 nurse hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 7% below weekdays, a gap that's often wider elsewhere. Staff turnover sits at 31.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for kids who need consistent caregivers. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 23 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. This is a for-profit operation in Loma Linda with a recent inspection, and the staffing numbers are doing most of the work here.

Glendale Adventist runs about 6.51 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 69% above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips only around 12% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 18.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters because unstable staffing often shows up in care quality before it shows up on paper. The current record lists 14 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in August 2025. It's a for-profit partnership with 40 certified beds, so it's small, and small homes can be uneven, but the numbers here are steady rather than strained.

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. Turnover sits at 29%, well under the national 45.8%. 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.

State-run homes in California don't usually post nurse staffing of 10.32 hours per resident day, that's roughly two and a half times the national figure, and it shows up in the five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage holds within about 4% of weekday levels, so the care doesn't thin out on Saturdays, and turnover at 31.3% sits well below the 45.8% national average. The catch is oversight: 25 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in May 2026 and a two-star health inspection rating. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters, but the volume is worth asking about directly.

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.

Weekend coverage dips around 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation worth asking about directly. Inspections are current as of April 2026, and this church-affiliated nonprofit holds a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a 5 on staffing.

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.

Staff turnover sits at 21.6%, less than half the national rate, a sign people stay. 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.

The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related; the most recent inspection was July 2025, and its health inspection and staffing ratings both sit at five stars out of five. Quality measures come in lower, at three. It's a small nonprofit home, 35 beds.

Country Manor Healthcare runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 20.4 percent is less than half the national figure of 45.8 percent, a combination that usually signals a stable, well-staffed floor. Weekend coverage dips about 6 percent below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The caution sits in the inspection record: 66 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, against a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was February 2026, and fines total $8,018. Good staffing, thin regulatory margin.

The current inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $9,110. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Strong staffing and steady retention are doing real work here; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.

The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the for-profit corporate owner runs the building.
