Long Beach Care Center runs 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average of 3.86, but that staffing still only earns two stars from CMS, and weekend coverage dips roughly 4% below its own weekday levels. The real problem sits in its inspection record: 78 deficiencies, including 10 tied to abuse and 3 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $54,834 in fines across two cases. A recent September 2025 inspection doesn't erase that history. Quality measures look strong at four stars, yet strong numbers on paper can't outweigh a pattern this persistent.
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.
Pacific Villa runs about 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 36.7% turnover is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those numbers matter, but the inspection record is what stands out: 79 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and 16 abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $41,809. A last inspection in February 2026 means the record is current, not stale. That mix explains a C grade: decent daily care hours and steadier-than-average staffing, undercut by a long and serious enforcement history at a for-profit, individually owned home. Weekend coverage runs about 8% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about directly.
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.
Studebaker Healthcare Center is a 99-bed for-profit in Norwalk, and the staffing numbers are the bright spot: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with weekend coverage about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 44.1%, basically in line with the national figure. The trouble sits on the inspection side. A one-star health inspection rating comes with 108 deficiencies on the current record, including nine tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. One fine totaling $27,378 is on file, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong hands-on care, weak compliance history, that's the tradeoff to weigh.
Staffing at Hollywood Premier is genuinely better than most: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and turnover of 19.8% is less than half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekdays, but that's a modest gap. The problem sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 81 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $17,342. The last inspection was in August 2025, so this is a recent picture, not old history. Good staffing can't offset that many serious findings, tour it, but ask hard questions about the abuse citations.
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.
Las Flores Convalescent Hospital has real staffing depth, 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and turnover at 31.7% beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 82 deficiencies on file, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $107,406. A 4-out-of-5 staffing rating next to a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating tells you the people are there but the systems around them aren't holding. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
Fidelity Health Care sits in El Monte with 90 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. What stands out first is the nursing staff: 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. Turnover is the real bright spot, 14.3% a year, far below the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concern is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 44 deficiencies on the current record, including four abuse-related citations, none at the harm level. The state inspected most recently in April 2025, so the record is current.
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.
Cedar Pine Post Acute runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 35.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, in May 2025. The trouble is what those inspections keep finding: 89 deficiencies on the current record, including 7 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way. A single $9,113 fine looks light against that pattern, and under a for-profit corporation, the staffing strength isn't offsetting a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. Strong quality scores can't carry a home with this citation history.
Glendora Canyon runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 39.1% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay longer than is typical. The problem isn't the workforce; it's the record. Seventy-three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a January 2026 inspection that turned up a one-star health inspection rating. Weekend coverage also dips about 6% below weekday levels. For a for-profit LLC with 120 beds, that inspection history is the thing to ask about directly before deciding.
Kei-Ai Los Angeles Healthcare Center runs 300 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.1%, under the national figure. The inspection record tells a different story. There are 122 deficiencies on file, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $184,989. A recent inspection in February 2026 hasn't wiped that history clean. Plenty of hands on deck, but a documented pattern of serious problems those hands haven't solved.
Santa Fe Heights sits in Compton with 99 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. The staffing numbers look solid on paper, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average, and turnover at 27.8% is well below the 45.8% national figure. But weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't as steady as the average suggests. What drags this home down is its record: 126 deficiencies, including 17 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three fines totaling $113,169. The most recent inspection was February 9, 2026.
Lawndale Healthcare & Wellness Centre runs 59 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on paper. But weekends drop about 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers don't tell the whole story. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 68 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $62,004. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating against 4-out-of-5 marks for staffing and quality measures is a wide gap, and with the last inspection dated January 2026, the record is recent. Ask about those 14 abuse-related deficiencies directly before you visit.
