Legacy Post Acute Care runs 96 certified beds in Martinez under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average of 3.86. Turnover is where this home separates itself: 26.3% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses around your parent are more likely to still be there next year than at the typical facility. The tradeoffs are modest. Weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, and the current record shows 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. Inspectors last visited in January 2025.

The state-run veterans home in Chula Vista runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 17.3 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure. Those numbers help explain its B grade, but the 34 deficiencies on file matter too, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related citations, with a single $8,018 fine. Weekend staffing dips about 12 percent below its own weekday level. A January 2026 inspection is recent enough to trust. Solid staffing and stable workforce; the citation record is the piece to weigh.

Sagecrest runs about 4.73 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing holds up beyond the weekday, with weekends dipping only about 10% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 15.9% against a national average of 45.8%, which matters for dementia care, where unfamiliar faces can unsettle residents. The home carries nine deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was September 2024. As a nonprofit in San Angelo, it isn't chasing quarterly returns. The numbers point to steady, well-attended care rather than anything flashy.

Country View Living runs on a government hospital district license in Dimmitt, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.63 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and weekends dip only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover is 37.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, and its eight deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. A December 2025 inspection is recent, and the five-star marks across health, quality, and staffing come from those same federal figures.

Ventana By Buckner runs 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 5% below its own weekday staffing. That consistency matters more than the raw number, since shortfalls usually show up on Saturdays and Sundays. The Dallas nonprofit carries 14 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated March 2026. Staff turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%, neither a warning sign nor a bragging point. For families weighing this one, the staffing depth and clean harm record are doing the real work here.

Merced Behavioral Center runs 96 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the turnover number is the one that stands out: 17.8% annually against a national average of 45.8%. That kind of stability matters more than most families realize, because consistent caregivers notice changes in a resident before anyone else does. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 19% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Inspections in February 2025 produced 17 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with none tied to abuse.

Moundridge Manor runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership and 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 17% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover is 19.8%, less than half the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The record isn't spotless: seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $20,295. No abuse citations, and the last inspection was September 2024. Strong staffing and low turnover are doing real work here; the harm-level findings are the part to raise directly with the administrator.

South Peninsula Hospital Ltc runs on 8.87 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 10% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 36.8%, lower than the 45.8% national figure, and the home carries six deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. A 5/5 inspection rating, a 4/5 on quality measures, and a September 2025 inspection round out a record that's unusually clean for a 28-bed city-run home in Homer.

Sun Health Grandview runs on 5.27 nurse hours per resident per day, about a third more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and weekends dip only modestly from there. That extra coverage shows up in its inspection record: twelve deficiencies, but none involving harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related, with a fresh survey as of August 2025. Staff turnover sits at 35.6 percent, roughly ten points better than the national average, which matters in a building this size. The nonprofit ownership and 4- and 5-star CMS ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing point to a home that has kept its footing steady rather than scrambling to catch up.

The Skilled Nursing Unit at Oro Valley Hospital runs 5.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 44 percent above the national average of 3.86, that's the kind of staffing margin that shows up in everyday care, not just on paper. Weekend hours dip roughly 8 percent below weekdays, though the floor stays well above average even then, and turnover at 40.8 percent sits under the national 45.8 percent. Nine deficiencies are on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and a 5-star inspection rating from a May 2026 survey is about as current as it gets. For-profit corporate ownership, 33 beds, and a clean inspection history together explain the grade without any single number carrying it.

Virgil Rehabilitation runs 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 19.4% is less than half the national figure, retention like that usually shows up in daily care. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in inspections: 49 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating despite strong marks on quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Corporate-owned and for-profit, this is a home where the care numbers look better than the oversight history.

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.

Folsom Care Center runs a 99-bed for-profit operation in Sacramento County, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for anyone who wants the same faces showing up. The tradeoff is inspection history, 34 deficiencies on record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in April 2026.

Topanga Terrace runs on unusually heavy staffing for a for-profit corporate home: 6.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average, and weekends barely dip below weekdays. Turnover sits at 27.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people around your relative are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 41 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent state visit was November 2025. Clinical quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale; the health inspection star sits at 3.

Granada Hills Convalescent runs on unusually steady staffing for a 48-bed for-profit home: 5.15 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 4% below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 13.7% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score because consistent caregivers tend to notice problems early. The tradeoff is in the inspection history, 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus an $8,018 fine. California's survey cycle runs roughly yearly to eighteen months, and the last visit was November 2025. Ask directly what changed after that harm-level finding.

Grace Pointe runs lean on problems and heavy on staff. The 53-bed home is individually owned for profit, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.69 hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, with a five-star staffing rating and a five-star quality measure rating to match. Turnover is 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. On the inspection side, the record shows 11 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated February 2026. A four-star inspection rating alongside those numbers is a fairly steady picture.

Waveny Care Center in New Canaan runs on 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent more staffing than the national average of 3.86, a real margin, not a rounding error. Weekend coverage dips about 13 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover sits at 37.4 percent, below the national 45.8 percent, and the home carries a 5/5 on all three CMS measures. The 15 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and one abuse-related citation; the last inspection was November 2025. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation rounds out the picture.

St. Mark Village runs about 5.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 39% sits below the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage drops about 15% from its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries four deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in January 2024. It's a nonprofit with 80 beds, which tends to mean steadier ownership than a chain.

Memorial Manor runs on 4.84 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical Florida nursing home, and weekends dip only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 16% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in October 2024. It's a hospital-district home with 120 certified beds, so it answers to a public board rather than a private operator.

Good Samaritan Center runs a 161-bed nonprofit home in Live Oak, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, it's running about a third above the national average, and that lands it a 5/5 on CMS's staffing measure, though weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about. Turnover sits at 34.6%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. Thirteen deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, plus a 4/5 inspection rating and a recent April 2026 visit, suggests a home that's keeping its paperwork and its people in order.
