Staff turnover

Lompoc Valley Medical Center's skilled nursing unit runs on government-hospital-district money, and it shows in the staffing: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 16 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The inspection record is the strongest part of the story, a 5-star health inspection rating, a survey completed in March 2026, and 19 deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level. Three of those are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures sit at 4 stars, staffing at 4 stars. For a 110-bed public facility, the pattern is steady rather than spotless.

Oakdale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on a hospital-district license with 115 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national figure. That headcount comes with a catch: weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, so the faces around a resident change fairly often. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Nothing here suggests danger; it reads more like a home getting the basics right while working through a long list of smaller problems.

The staffing numbers at George L Mee Memorial Hospital D/P SNF are the strongest part of the picture: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 39% above the national average, which supports the four-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the home gets harder to read. Thirty deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects that pattern. Ownership is nonprofit, and the last inspection was recent. Plenty of hands on staff; the regulatory history is the part to ask about directly.

East Los Angeles Doctors Hosp runs just 25 certified beds, which is small even by California standards, and the staffing number jumps out first: 8.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's more than double the typical home, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 14.6% while the national average is 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was January 8, 2026. Corporate for-profit ownership, with quality and staffing marks a step below its inspection result.

Chinese Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs a tight 23-bed operation, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent above the national average. Weekends dip about 9 percent from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, enough to warrant a direct question about what happened and what changed. Inspectors were last in on February 26, 2026, and the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5. As a nonprofit, this home answers to a mission rather than shareholders, which tends to show in how it staffs.

Motion Picture And T.V. Hosp D/P Snf runs on unusually strong nurse coverage for a 195-bed nonprofit, 4.88 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national figure, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about. Staff turnover of 36.8% sits well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The caution signs are elsewhere: a 2-star health inspection rating, 50 deficiencies on record including 3 tied to abuse, and a survey completed in April 2025. None of those deficiencies reached harm or jeopardy level, but the count and the abuse findings are the part of this file a family should read closely.

Nurse staffing at West Covina Medical Center's distinct-part unit runs 8.47 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, a striking figure for a 33-bed for-profit home. Weekend coverage dips about 18% below weekday levels, and staff turnover sits at 29.3%, better than the 45.8% national average. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 34 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors visited most recently in December 2025. A 4/5 health inspection rating and 4/5 quality measures offset a 3/5 staffing star, which may reflect the weekend gap more than raw hours.

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.

Sierra View runs 7.58 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly double the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.3% is well under the 45.8% national figure. Those are real strengths. The catch is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent state visit was April 2025. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekdays, and the 35-bed size means a single departure or callout shifts the ratio more than it would at a larger building. The low turnover suggests people stay, which matters for consistency in a small home.

Jerold Phelps Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit in Garberville is a 17-bed hospital-district operation, which explains the unusually high nurse staffing: 7.74 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Even with weekends running about 6% lighter than weekdays, that's a lot of hands on deck. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twenty-eight deficiencies on the current record include three tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection came in September 2025, recent enough that the findings still describe how this home operates today. A quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 suggests the everyday care results don't match the staffing investment, and for a small rural unit, that gap is worth asking about directly.

South Coast Global Medical Center's nursing unit runs nurse staffing at 8.83 hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level, so coverage narrows when families tend to visit. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 53 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well while inspections sit mid-range. It's a for-profit corporate operation with 46 certified beds, small enough that staffing swings hit harder than they would at a larger building.

Eastern Plumas Hospital's skilled nursing unit in Portola runs on unusually deep staffing for a small rural hospital district, 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 33%, well under the national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The trouble is elsewhere: 21 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, and $69,450 in fines. Its quality measure score is poor. Staffing is the strength here; the inspection history and clinical outcomes are what a family should press the administrator on.

Kern Valley Healthcare District Dp Snf runs 74 beds in Lake Isabella, and it's a hospital-district operation, so it's government-owned rather than part of a chain. Nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 32.6%, which is actually well below the 45.8% national figure, a genuine bright spot. The harder numbers are the 32 deficiencies on record, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $31,581 in fines across two penalties. Its last inspection was April 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are where the concerns stack up.

A for-profit corporation runs Modoc Medical Center's skilled nursing unit in Alturas, and it puts more nursing hours on the floor than most homes in the country, 6.09 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That staffing cushion matters, though weekends thin out by roughly 18% compared to weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 18 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey came in April 2025, so the picture is current. Two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly. Turnover sits at 44.1%, essentially the national rate, meaning the staff you meet may not be the staff there next year.

Hemet Valley Healthcare Center sits in Riverside County with 113 certified beds and corporate for-profit ownership. The nurse staffing number is genuinely unusual, 10.96 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the generous figure isn't evenly spread. Turnover runs 51.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care keep changing. Inspections in November 2025 produced a 4-out-of-5 star rating and a recent inspection date, but the current record carries 23 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $51,489 fine. Strong staffing and a clean inspection cycle don't erase what's documented.

Alhambra Hospital Med Ctr Dp/Snf runs a small 26-bed operation, and its nurse staffing sits at 7.39 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday level, and staff turnover of 29.5% is well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff is a longer paper trail: 26 deficiencies on the current record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A July 2025 inspection is recent, and the for-profit partnership structure is worth knowing. Families weighing this home should ask what those deficiencies were and how they've been addressed.

Nurse staffing here runs 7.41 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86, and that holds up on weekends, which dip only about 5% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 16.3% against a national figure of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. What keeps the record from matching those numbers is the inspection side: 53 deficiencies on file, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was in December 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 89 certified beds, and a survey history that's active enough to ask about directly before you visit.

Healdsburg Hospital D/P SNF is a tiny 17-bed unit run by a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing numbers are unusual in both directions. Total nurse staffing sits at 10.57 hours per resident day, roughly 174% above the national average, but the federal staffing star comes in at just 1 out of 5, which tells you the hours on paper may not reflect what CMS considers stable, consistent coverage. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below the facility's own weekday level. The health inspection record is genuinely strong: a 5/5 rating, six deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse citations. Seven fines totaling $59,634 have accumulated, though, and the last inspection was August 2024.

Greater El Monte Community Hos runs a small operation, 13 certified beds, and staffs it heavily: 8.65 nursing hours per resident day, more than double the national average. That ratio holds up on weekends, dipping only about 10% from weekday levels rather than collapsing the way it does at many homes. Staff turnover sits at 5% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single fine of $5,698 and a survey completed in November 2025. Corporate for-profit ownership, but the numbers describe steady, well-attended care.

Healthbridge Children's Hospital in Orange runs a small 21-bed skilled nursing unit under for-profit LLC ownership, and the nurse staffing number stands out: 10.57 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86. That's unusual, though weekend hours drop about 11% below the weekday level, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The bigger concern is the deficiency record, 47 total on the current file, six of them abuse-related, even though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Inspections are recent, and the staffing and health inspection ratings both land mid-range at three stars. For a small facility with this many findings, ask pointed questions about how those abuse-related deficiencies were resolved before you decide.
