Willow Pass Healthcare Center

Concord, CA · Contra Costa County

CMS 3/5 81 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours
3.99 /day
Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Willow Pass runs about 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 46%, essentially the national rate of 45.8%, so continuity of care isn't unusually bad here. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 50 deficiencies on the current record, four tied to abuse and two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with a single $45,702 fine. The last inspection was October 2022, so that record has had time to age without a fresh look. Corporate-owned, 81 beds.

St. John Of God Retirement

Los Angeles, CA · Los Angeles County

CMS 1/5 156 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

St. John Of God Retirement sits in Los Angeles with 156 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Nurse staffing runs 4.90 hours per resident day, about 27% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly below weekdays. Turnover is 31.3%, well under the national 45.8%. So the day-to-day caregiving picture is strong. The problem is the inspection record: 77 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, five abuse-related, and $124,440 in fines across three penalties. That's a lot of citations for a single home. A December 2025 inspection is recent, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects what surveyors found. Good staffing can't offset 77 deficiencies.

Corona Health Care Center

Corona, CA · Riverside County

Nurse hours

Corona Health Care Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so care is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 39.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record is the weaker part. CMS gives it 2 of 5 stars for health inspections, with 37 deficiencies on file, one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures and staffing each earn 3 of 5 stars.

Brookside Care Center sits in Stockton with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing runs 3.88 hours per resident day, right around the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The trouble is the inspection record: 103 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse. CMS gave it a single star for health inspections, though quality measures and staffing each earned three. The last inspection was January 31, 2025. That mix, decent staffing, a rough regulatory history, is what drives the middling grade.

Skyline Healthcare Center - San Jose

San Jose, CA · Santa Clara County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Skyline Healthcare Center in San Jose runs 253 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look better than most: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 38.9% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's the good news. The inspection record tells a different story, 91 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $105,089 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, so this isn't stale history. Staffing can be adequate and a building can still fail at the basics of protecting residents. Those abuse and harm-level findings are what tip this one down to a D.

Placerville, CA · El Dorado County

CMS 3/5 99 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

The Pines At Placerville runs a 99-bed for-profit operation in El Dorado County, and its nurse staffing sits modestly above the national average at 4.09 hours per resident day. That edge narrows on weekends, though, when coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday pace, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Staff turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity of caregivers is neither a strength nor a red flag here. The inspection record shows 54 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse. A March 2026 inspection is recent enough that the findings reflect current conditions rather than old ones.

Artesia Christian Home Inc.

Artesia, CA · Los Angeles County

CMS 1/5 66 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Artesia Christian Home runs a genuinely strong staffing operation for a 66-bed nonprofit, 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 39% above the national average, with turnover at 35.6% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Saturday isn't quite what you'd see midweek. The problem sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 47 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $98,079 fine, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Good staffing numbers can't offset that kind of regulatory history, ask pointed questions about those abuse citations before considering this one.

St Elizabeth Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
23%
Serious cites
0

St Elizabeth Healthcare Center runs on 4.52 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 23% is roughly half the national rate, that kind of retention is uncommon and usually shows up in how consistently residents are cared for. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The trade-off is in the inspection record: 58 deficiencies on file, four of them abuse-related, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. For-profit corporate ownership, 59 beds.

Pacific Haven Subacute And Healthcare Center

Garden Grove, CA · Orange County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Pacific Haven runs 5.23 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average, and its clinical quality measures come in at the top of CMS's scale. That's the good news. The rest of the record is harder to square: 35 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and a staffing star rating that sits at 2 out of 5 despite the raw hours. Weekend coverage dips below its own weekday level. It's owned by a for-profit limited liability company, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, recent enough to trust, but not a clean result.

Visalia Post Acute

Visalia, CA · Tulare County

CMS 1/5 176 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Visalia Post Acute runs 176 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the hard part: 69 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. That's a lot of documented problems for a single home, and CMS's one-star health inspection rating reflects it. Staffing sits at 3.76 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends running about 4% lighter than weekdays. Turnover at 41.8% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that's built from resident assessment data, not from what inspectors found when they walked in.

The Win Post-Acute

Santa Clara, CA · Santa Clara County

CMS 5/5 133 beds For-profit Medicaid

The Win Post-Acute runs 4.01 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 45.6%, essentially matching the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and three tied to abuse, despite a recent May 2025 inspection and strong marks on quality measures. For-profit corporate ownership rounds out the picture. The numbers suggest a home that performs well on paper measures but has real compliance issues worth asking about directly.

Ukiah Post Acute

Ukiah, CA · Mendocino County

Ukiah Post Acute runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and 39 deficiencies sit on its record, three at the harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse. The inspection history is current, dated February 2026, and CMS gave it 4 stars each for health inspections and quality measures, which suggests the day-to-day care holds up better than that deficiency count implies. Staffing is the softer spot: 3 stars, with weekend hours running about 12% under weekdays and turnover at 51.6%, above the 45.8% national figure. It's a for-profit LLC with 57 beds, so ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.

Harbor Villa runs 99 certified beds in Anaheim under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are better than they look at first glance: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 47.7%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the faces change often. The bigger concern is the inspection record, 86 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 abuse-related, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history is the thing to ask about directly.

Cottage Crest Post Acute sits in Norwalk with 59 certified beds and a for-profit corporate owner. The staffing numbers are genuinely good on paper, 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, with turnover at 40% compared to 45.8% nationally. But weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and the inspection record tells a harder story: 61 deficiencies on file, four serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $66,245. The last inspection was May 5, 2026. Strong daily staffing and a four-star quality score don't cancel out that many cited problems, especially the harm-level and abuse-related ones.

Gilroy Healthcare Center runs 134 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, 3.95 hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the harder number: 52.2% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for your family member change often. The inspection record is the real concern: 33 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a $69,735 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well, but recent inspections in mid-2025 still found serious problems.

Sherman Oaks Health & Rehab runs 120 beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.93 nurse hours per resident day. But weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs at 41.9%. The real concern is the inspection record: 96 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That history earned a 1 out of 5 on CMS health inspections, even though quality measures came in at 3. The most recent inspection was March 2025. If you're considering this one, ask directly what changed since then.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

The Grove runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.52 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. What stands out is 92 deficiencies on the current record, including one causing harm or jeopardy and six tied to abuse, against just $17,345 in fines. Staff turnover of 23.1% is actually well below the national 45.8%, so the same caregivers tend to stay; the problem isn't retention, it's how many of them there are. The five-star quality measure score reflects reported clinical outcomes, but it sits alongside a one-star inspection rating, and the most recent survey closed in December 2025. If you're considering this Sylmar home, ask specifically about weekend coverage and how that abuse history was resolved.

Lynwood Post Acute Care Center runs 99 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look thinner than on a Tuesday. Staff turnover is 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. The harder number is 69 deficiencies on the current record, eight tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors last visited in April 2026.

Cedars Healthcare Center in Lakewood runs 130 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18% below the national average of 3.86, but the staff who are there tend to stay, with turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. The real concern is the inspection record: 41 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and two fines totaling $55,908, with the most recent inspection in March 2024. Strong quality and staffing scores don't cancel out that history. If you're considering this home, ask directly what changed since that March inspection.

Fairacres Manor runs 116 beds in Greeley under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit a bit under the national average, 3.71 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.5% versus 45.8% nationally, which suggests people stick around longer here than at the typical home. The inspection record is where you'd want to ask questions. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, though the last inspection was recent (June 2024) and CMS gave the health inspection side 4 of 5 stars. Quality measures scored 2 of 5, worth asking the administrator what's driving that.
