How independently owned homes in Los Angeles, CA compare
This group set against every nursing home in Los Angeles, CA, from the current CMS release.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
