Staffing at Camellia Gardens looks strong on paper, 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, but the numbers behind that figure are mixed. Weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing, which suggests the hours aren't reaching residents the way the total implies. The inspection record is heavier than you'd want: 59 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the single fine on file is small at $1,747. This for-profit LLC was last inspected in April 2026, which is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and those abuse-related citations before deciding.
Pacifica Hospital of the Valley's skilled nursing unit has a staffing problem you should weigh heavily. Its CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the health inspection rating is also 1, the lowest possible, despite the quality measure score of 4, which reflects clinical data like hospitalizations and medication management rather than day-to-day care on the floor. The inspection record shows 51 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $60,373 fine, all from a February 2026 survey. This is an individual for-profit operator, which in California often means thinner staffing budgets. Ask directly how many CNAs are on the floor at night before you decide.
Palos Verdes Health Care Center has 48 certified beds in Lomita, run by an individual for-profit owner. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average, but that average hides real gaps. Weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 58.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing that care keep changing.
The inspection record is the harder problem. Fifty-three deficiencies are on file, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Three fines total $97,006. The most recent inspection was February 12, 2026, so the record is current, not stale.
Riviera Healthcare Center runs 154 certified beds in Pico Rivera under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is more mixed than one number suggests. Nurses provide 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average of 3.86, and annual turnover sits at 31.7% against a national 45.8%, a comparatively stable workforce on paper. Weekend coverage, though, drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level.
The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 74 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, against a 2/5 health inspection rating and 1/5 on quality measures. Fines total just $9,110 across a single penalty. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2026.
Temple Park Convalescent Hospital runs on a for-profit limited liability setup in Los Angeles, and its nurses put in 4.81 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 17% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 32.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The trouble shows up in its inspection record: 61 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $144,964 fine. The most recent inspection came in April 2025. Strong staffing and quality marks don't erase that enforcement history, and families should weigh both.
Manchester Healthcare Center has more nursing hours than the typical American home, 4.22 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, but that's roughly where the good news ends. The inspection record is the real problem: 73 deficiencies, including two that put residents in immediate harm and three tied to abuse, along with two fines totaling $30,487. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the hours that look adequate on paper thin out when families are most likely to visit. A for-profit limited liability company runs the 49-bed building. Whatever the staffing number suggests, the survey history is what a family should be asking about directly.
Culver West runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, that part looks fine on its own. But weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage, and 53.6% of staff left over the past year against a national rate of 45.8%, which matters more for a 91-bed home where you know fewer faces. The current record holds 60 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus a $117,037 fine. This for-profit LLC was last inspected in May 2025, so the record is recent, not stale.
Colonial Gardens runs 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, and its 36.6% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure. That's the good news, and it's real. The rest is harder: a 1/5 inspection rating and 107 deficiencies on the current record, including 12 tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Weekend coverage slips roughly 10% below weekday levels, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. One fine of $36,700 is on file, but the last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Staffing looks adequate on paper. The inspection history is the part to weigh.
Skyline Healthcare Center, La has 4.37 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 120 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, eight abuse-related, five fines totaling $251,090, and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. That combination, solid staffing layered over a failing inspection history and a 2025 revisit, is why the numbers behind this for-profit, individually owned home come out where they do.
Maple Healthcare Center is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 59 beds in Los Angeles. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.10 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 51.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 77 deficiencies on file, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $164,264, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. A 4-out-of-5 quality measure score doesn't offset a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating when the harm-level and abuse findings are this numerous.
Infinity Care of East Los Angeles runs 99 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the government's own ratings: one star for staffing and one star for health inspections, even as its quality measures score five stars. The inspection record is the harder read: 76 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 11 tied to abuse, and $65,817 in fines. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025, so the record is current, not stale. For a family weighing this one, the staffing numbers and the abuse-related findings are what matter most.
Chestnut Ridge runs on 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 21.8% is roughly half the national rate, that kind of consistency usually shows up in daily care. But the inspection record is where the problems sit: 69 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $105,201. Weekend staffing also drops about 14% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current. Good staffing numbers and a bad survey history can both be true at once.
La Brea Rehabilitation Center runs 141 beds in Los Angeles under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.6% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so care thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concern sits: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 98 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $33,091 has been levied, and the last inspection was June 19, 2025.
University Park Healthcare Center has real staffing strengths: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 41.3%, lower than the typical 45.8%. Weekends dip roughly 7% below weekday coverage, but that's a modest gap. The problem isn't the floor staff, it's the record. Seventy-seven deficiencies, 8 involving actual harm or jeopardy, 13 tied to abuse, and $230,606 in fines across four actions. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 on quality measures tells you the clinical metrics look fine on paper while the survey history says otherwise. This for-profit, LLC-owned home was inspected as recently as April 2026.
Golden Haven Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Glendale under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. The bigger problem is what inspectors have found: 73 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $74,602. That record produced a one-star health inspection rating, and staff turnover at 47.2% runs slightly above the national rate, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was January 16, 2026.
Olympia Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles runs 135 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 23.5%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively steady crew.
The trouble is on the inspection side. Forty-two deficiencies are on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two of three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5, and a $8,278 fine is on file. The last inspection was May 2025. Good staffing alone doesn't offset that record.
Landmark Medical Center runs 95 beds in Pomona under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record splits in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. What stands out is staff retention: 26 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, which suggests people stay here. The trouble is inspection history. CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, with 54 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Low turnover is real, but it hasn't kept the care problems out of the building.
Meadowbrook runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.47 hours per resident per day, about a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 31.9%, better than the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay, but there are fewer of them. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 42 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for a 77-bed home, and it lines up with the 2/5 inspection rating despite strong quality measures and a recent April 2026 visit.
La Paz Geropsychiatric Center runs on 2.82 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder number: 69 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 11 tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 18.6% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. A 5/5 quality measure score sits alongside a 1/5 inspection score, a split worth asking about directly.
Miracle Mile Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so that headline number doesn't hold steady across the week.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 110 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse. Four fines total $295,952. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. CMS rates health inspections 1 out of 5, staffing 2 out of 5, quality measures 3 out of 5.
