Centennial Post Acute has some of the better nurse staffing numbers you'll see, 4.47 hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average. That's real, though weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 50.4%, higher than the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the part to pay attention to. Eighty-three deficiencies on the current record, eight serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and three fines totaling $232,502. That's a lot of regulatory history for a 102-bed for-profit home, and it's what's driving its overall grade down despite the staffing.

Pueblo Springs Rehabilitation Center

CMS 2/5 129 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Pueblo Springs runs 129 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.03 hours per resident day, about 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday levels, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday night. Staff turnover is 58.3% against a 45.8% national figure, so caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A June 2025 inspection is recent, and the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 suggests clinical outcomes hold up better than the staffing picture would predict.

La Canada Care Center runs 128 certified beds in Tucson under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the story starts. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, weekend coverage drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, and turnover lands at 47%, slightly above the national figure. On paper the home scores well on quality measures, but its current record carries 15 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $8,278 is on file, and the last inspection was recent. The staffing pattern is the piece worth asking about directly.

The Gardens Rehab & Care Center runs 58 certified beds in Kingman under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 14% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 57.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often. The current inspection record shows eight deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but four tied to abuse, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. Staffing and health inspection ratings each land at 3. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026, so the picture is current, not stale.

Staff turnover

The Woods runs 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday coverage, a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the faces around your relative may change often. The bigger concern is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 36 deficiencies including one at the harm level, and a $15,940 fine, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Ask to see the plan of correction for that harm-level deficiency before deciding.

The Blossoms at Eureka Springs runs on thin staffing: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 10 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger red flag is turnover, 83.3 percent of staff leave annually, against a national average near 46 percent, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new. Its inspection history backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The 4-out-of-5 quality measure score suggests some clinical targets are being met, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025.

The Blossoms at Star City runs 3.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 6 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 41.5 percent, actually a bit better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the staffing trouble looks more like thin hours than a churning workforce. Its 23 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 30, 2025, so the record is current. A 2-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 2-out-of-5 staffing rating are the parts worth pressing on when you visit.

The Blossoms At Fort Smith runs 130 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, with weekends about 13% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 57% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing. Its inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, and the last visit was September 19, 2025. Quality measures look better (4/5), but that staffing star tells you how hard it is to cover the floor.

Sherwood Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 23% more than the national average of 3.86, and that's a real point in its favor. But weekend staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. Annual turnover sits at 60.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people providing that care are relatively new. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus $24,431 in fines, with the last inspection in December 2025.

Serious cites

Rosemead Healthcare Center runs about 99 certified beds in El Monte, and the staffing headline looks decent at first: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. But that average hides a drop on weekends, when coverage runs about 13% below its own weekday level, and CMS still rates staffing at just 2 out of 5 stars. Turnover sits at 44.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity isn't a strength either. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 73 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a 2-star health inspection rating. The last survey was March 27, 2026. Fines total $8,824 across one penalty.

Sage Post Acute runs 99 certified beds in Hayward, and the staffing numbers are the clearest thing to look at here. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip a further 3% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 55% against a national 45.8%, which means aides and nurses are cycling through steadily. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $4,938. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is current. Individual, for-profit ownership.

Creekside Post Acute runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 59-bed home, 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 63% above the national figure. That's the strongest thing in its file. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, though, and annual turnover sits at 55.6% against a national 45.8%, so the hours are there but the faces change often. The inspection record is more mixed. Thirty-one deficiencies are on the books, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent, in July 2025. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers show up.

Pittsburg Skilled Nursing Center runs 49 beds in Contra Costa County under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.97 nurse hours per resident day. Turnover is better than most too, at 37.5% against a national 45.8%. But the inspection record tells a harder story: 39 deficiencies on file, three tied to abuse, plus a $10,793 fine. CMS rated its quality measures 1 out of 5 and its health inspections 2 out of 5, with the last visit in August 2024. Weekend staffing also dips about 7% below its own weekday level. The care numbers are mediocre even where the staffing looks solid.

Vasona Creek runs 148 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 3% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 54% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The current record shows 80 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in October 2024. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture and that deficiency count are what pull the overall picture down.

Golden San Andreas Care Center runs 99 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 49.5% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get harder to talk around: 86 deficiencies on file, six at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $91,172. The last inspection was February 2025. High staffing numbers can coexist with serious findings, and here they do.

City View Post Acute runs 180 beds in San Francisco under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday level, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Sunday. Staff turnover is 38.2%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies on file, including 7 tied to abuse, plus a $42,528 fine and a two-star health inspection rating, though nothing reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current.

Beachwood Post-Acute & Rehab has real staffing going for it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and turnover at 30.5% is well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people stay. Weekends dip about 9% from weekday coverage, but that's the least of it. The inspection record is the problem: 118 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 11 abuse-related, and two fines totaling $177,718. The most recent inspection was June 27, 2025, so this isn't stale history. For-profit LLC ownership, 227 beds. Staffing can't offset that deficiency count, ask pointed questions about the abuse citations before considering this one.

Arlington Gardens runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because 61 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with a single fine of $8,281. The 47.2% annual turnover lands just above the national 45.8%. CMS gives the home 5 stars for quality measures and 2 stars each for staffing and health inspections, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 99 certified beds.

St. Anne's Home in San Francisco is a small nonprofit operation, 46 beds, and its state inspections have generally gone well enough to earn four out of five stars. On paper, that's the strongest thing going for it. The problem shows up in the staffing numbers, where CMS gives it just one star out of five, meaning it runs leaner on direct care than most homes in the country. Its inspection record lists 17 deficiencies, none of which involved actual harm or abuse, so nothing here suggests danger, just a home that passes its checkups while operating with fewer hands on deck than you'd probably want for a family member who needs daily help.

University Park Care Center runs 180 certified beds in Pueblo under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. Nurses provide 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about another 10 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 50.5 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent. The inspection record shows 24 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with one fine of $22,653 and the last inspection in June 2024. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 but staffing only 2 out of 5, that gap tells you where the risk sits. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover before you visit.
