San Marino Healthcare Center runs on 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong, turnover of 25.5% against a national average near 46%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The inspection record is the weak spot: 45 deficiencies, 5 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well and staffing holds up, but the compliance history is heavy for a 59-bed for-profit home.
Pasadena Nursing Center runs 52 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing averages 4.73 hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, though weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 60.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern lives: 82 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, and 11 abuse-related, drawing three fines totaling $23,160. Its most recent inspection was in April 2026. High bedside hours paired with heavy turnover and that deficiency history is a mixed picture, worth asking about staff retention and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Windsor Gardens runs 98 beds in Los Angeles under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is where families should focus first. Ninety deficiencies sit on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, that's a pattern, not a one-time slip. The 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects it, and the last inspection in April 2026 was recent enough that this picture is current. Staffing is thin in a quieter way: 3.84 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends running about 5% below weekdays. Annual turnover of 51.9% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the national 45.8%.
Hawthorne Healthcare & Wellness Centre runs about 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. The 88-bed for-profit partnership carries 35 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection dated March 27, 2026. CMS gives it middling marks on health inspections and just one star each for quality measures and staffing, which is a lot of recent survey activity without any serious harm finding.
Seacrest runs 4.28 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and weekend staffing only dips about 9% below weekdays, so direct care hours aren't the weak spot here. The inspection record is. Seventy-four deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $109,708, and the most recent inspection is from March 2026. Staff turnover sits at 57.7% against a 45.8% national average, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. For a family weighing a post-acute stay, the staffing numbers look better than the record they're attached to.
Vermont Healthcare Center runs 200 certified beds in Torrance under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. Total nurse hours come in at 4.31 per resident day, about 12% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 51.1% against a national 45.8%. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 96 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level and seven abuse-related, with five fines totaling $158,506. The most recent inspection was April 2026. High raw staffing hours often attract families, but here they coexist with a one-star health inspection rating and a long, serious deficiency history.
The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, but that's where the good news mostly stops. Weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with 139 deficiencies on record, including 12 tied to abuse and four at harm or jeopardy level, tells you regulators have found serious problems repeatedly. Four fines totaling $151,463 back that up. This is a 231-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and its last inspection was in July 2025. Quality measures score middle-of-the-road, so the clinical picture isn't the concern, the oversight history is.
Gem Tcu has 75 certified beds in Pasadena and runs a for-profit operation under an LLC. Total nurse staffing comes in at 4.47 hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, but that number looks less steady when you see weekends run about 12% below weekdays, and annual turnover hits 59.7% against a national average of 45.8%. More than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where this home really struggles: 87 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, drawing a $27,808 fine. CMS rated its last inspection 1 out of 5 stars, and that inspection was recent, November 2025.
Colonial Care Center has 196 certified beds and enough nursing staff, 4.36 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, with turnover at 36.6% that beats the typical home. That part isn't the problem. The problem is the inspection record: 82 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse, and $140,904 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below weekday levels, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. In a for-profit corporate chain, staffing hours alone don't offset that kind of enforcement history.
Villa Del Rio is a twelve-bed for-profit home in Bell Gardens, and its record is one of the most troubled you'll find in Los Angeles County. The nurse staffing number looks fine on paper, but that average hides a 57.3% annual turnover rate, well above the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage that drops about 8% below its own weekday level, meaning care gets thinner exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection history is the real problem: 99 deficiencies on the current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $147,028. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
East Terrace is a for-profit LLC with 99 beds in Los Angeles, and its record is a hard one to read. State inspectors have cited 85 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and 13 tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $176,430. The federal inspection rating sits at one star out of five, and the last survey was recent, December 2025, so the findings aren't old history. Total nurse staffing of 4.04 hours per resident day edges just past the 3.86 national average, but weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't steady across the week. If you're weighing this one, ask what those abuse citations involved and how the home has changed since December.
Artesia Palms runs 296 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. That's the one number working in its favor. Everything else on the record pulls the other way: 70 deficiencies, 9 of them serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy, plus 12 tied to abuse. CMS has fined the home six times for a total of $267,056 and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most troubled homes. Weekend staffing also drops about 8% below weekday levels. Turnover, at 45.5%, is essentially the national norm, so it explains nothing here. The last inspection was May 29, 2026.
California Post-Acute Care in Lynwood carries one of the heaviest deficiency records you'll see: 144 total, including 11 tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way. Every CMS rating category lands at one star, inspections, quality measures, staffing, so there's no strong area offsetting the weak ones.
Being named a Special Focus Facility means federal regulators have singled this home out for closer monitoring, a step they reserve for the worst performers. The last inspection was in May 2026, and a $33,120 fine is on record. With 130 beds, that's a lot of residents in a building the government is actively watching.
Providence St Elizabeth Care Center has real strengths in its staffing: 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and turnover at 27.8% that's notably lower than the typical home. But that's where the good news largely ends. The health inspection record is poor, 82 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus two fines totaling over $54,000. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Strong bedside staffing can't offset a documented pattern of serious health and safety failures.
Santa Anita Convalescent Hospital has 391 certified beds and enough nursing hours per resident to clear the national average by about 10%. But that staffing number is the strongest thing in its file. Turnover runs 41.1%, and weekends drop roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. The inspection record is where it falls apart: 179 deficiencies, 9 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 19 tied to abuse, with CMS fines totaling $234,187. Federal regulators have placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and the most recent inspection was May 8, 2025. A corporate-owned home with that citation history needs close, specific questions before you consider it.
California Post Acute sits in a tough spot for a family trying to decide. The raw staffing number, 4.03 hours per resident day, actually edges past the national average, but that average hides a lot, weekends run about 5% thinner than weekdays, and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year, so the people providing care keep changing. What the record shows is harder to look past: 131 deficiencies, 13 of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 12 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling more than $215,000. Federal regulators have placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the country's most troubled homes. The most recent inspection was in July 2025.
Bay Crest Care Center is an 80-bed for-profit home in Torrance, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but it drops roughly 8% on weekends, so care can thin out exactly when families tend to show up. Staff turnover of 56.4% runs well above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. On the inspection side, CMS counts 124 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with four fines totaling $124,336. The home is currently in CMS's Special Focus Facility program.
Golden Rose Care Center has 99 certified beds and enough nurses on paper, 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but the inspection record tells a different story. The current file lists 129 deficiencies, including four at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and ten tied to abuse. State and federal surveyors fined this for-profit corporate home 22 times for a total of $175,941.
Staffing holds up better than most on turnover, at 43.1% against a national 45.8%, though weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday levels. The last inspection was June 5, 2025. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with that many harm-level findings is the number that matters most here.
Sunray Healthcare Center has enough hands on deck, 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, but that staffing cushion is doing a lot of work against a rough record elsewhere. The home carries 80 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus $147,893 in CMS fines across four penalties, and it currently sits in the Special Focus Facility program, which CMS reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staff turnover, at 41.4%, is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the trouble isn't retention alone. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company, and the last inspection was April 19, 2026.
Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 201 beds in North Hollywood under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Resident care measures look decent, but the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 141 deficiencies on file, including 9 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $87,215 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
