Avalon Villa Care Center is a 131-bed for-profit home in Los Angeles, and its record is one of the heaviest in the federal system: 132 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and ten tied to abuse. Those numbers, plus $111,937 in fines, are why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a pattern of persistent problems. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, weekends run about 5% leaner than weekdays, and nearly half the staff turned over last year. The good quality-measure score doesn't offset an inspection record like this.
Mirage Post Acute runs 299 beds in Lancaster under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average. But the inspection record tells a different story: 262 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 21 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes, and there are three fines totaling $153,991. Staff turnover sits at 50.4%, above the 45.8% national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels. With a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2026 inspection date already on record, the high staffing figure isn't translating into safe care.
Woodland Care Center's numbers pull in opposite directions, and the split tells you where to look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, roughly a percent under the national average, with weekends about 5% thinner than weekdays, but turnover is 20.9%, less than half the national rate, which means the people who are there tend to stay. The problem is what inspections keep finding: 110 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm level, five tied to abuse, and $30,972 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Quality scores look strong, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a fresh April 2025 survey carry more weight.
Astoria Healthcare Center has real staffing strength: 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and turnover at 33.9% is better than the 45.8% norm. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below weekdays. The problem is everything else. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating sits alongside 124 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Its last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current. Good staffing numbers can't offset that pattern.
Griffith Park Healthcare Center runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its 42.9% turnover is slightly better than typical. But weekend staffing drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger issue sits in the inspection record: 96 deficiencies currently on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and 3 at the harm or jeopardy level, with $63,605 in fines across three penalties. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical scores look better than the day-to-day compliance picture. The most recent inspection was December 15, 2025.
Burbank Healthcare & Rehab is a 188-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and the numbers pull in opposite directions. Nurse staffing is genuinely better than most homes, about 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 41% turnover is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 6% below its own weekday level. What outweighs all of that is the inspection record: 142 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, twelve abuse-related, two fines totaling $31,803, and a current place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, with the last inspection in March 2026. Staffing can be adequate and the care still unsafe. That's the tension here.
Sherman Village Hcc has the staffing most families say they want, 4.98 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8% suggests workers tend to stay. Now the other side: a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating, 106 deficiencies on the current record, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $202,260 fine. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing can be strong and a building can still be failing; here, state and federal inspectors have documented the second repeatedly.
Bixby Towers runs 99 certified beds in Long Beach, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.26 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record carries 82 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $114,270. The most recent inspection was August 1, 2025, so the picture is current. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Strong quality measure scores sit alongside a single-star inspection rating, worth asking about directly.
Inland Valley runs 221 beds in Pomona under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding within about 4% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The problem is everything else. That staffing hasn't translated into safe care, 197 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $204,818. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Good ratios can't offset a record like that.
Nurse staffing at Hyde Park Healthcare Center runs about 4.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86, but that's the one number here that looks good. The rest is harder: 64.6% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff left within a year, and weekend coverage drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level. On the current record are 91 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 10 related to abuse, plus five fines totaling $264,318. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2-out-of-5 on quality measures rounds it out.
Rio Hondo runs 4.64 nurse hours per resident per day, about 20 percent above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 13 percent below its own weekday staffing, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what shows up on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 63.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for your relative were hired within the past year. The record shows 195 deficiencies, 16 of them serious enough to endanger residents, 18 tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $411,481. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.
Sunnyside Nursing Center runs 299 certified beds in Torrance under nonprofit corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the one bright spot: 4.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing comes with churn, 52.2% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure, and it thins out on weekends, dropping about 12% below the home's own weekday level.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits. Eighty-seven deficiencies are on file, nine of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing five fines totaling $214,020. CMS has placed Sunnyside in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. The most recent inspection was April 10, 2026.
Lakewood Healthcare Center in Downey is a 290-bed for-profit home with 4.15 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but that one bright spot is doing a lot of heavy lifting. The inspection record is where the trouble sits: 124 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, 16 abuse-related, and three fines totaling $128,597, which is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program. Staffing also thins on weekends, dropping about 8% below its own weekday level, and the last inspection was December 18, 2025. If you're considering this home, ask specifically what the abuse-related findings involved and how the facility is addressing them.
Valley Vista runs 72 beds in North Hollywood under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the first thing that stands out: 114 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse. The last inspection was this past July, so that record is current, not stale. Staffing looks decent on paper at 4.07 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 12% below weekdays, and turnover sits at 60.6% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents keep changing.
Antelope Valley Care Center holds 199 certified beds in Lancaster under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record carries real weight: 170 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and eleven tied to abuse, with $124,690 in fines and a place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. Staffing sits at 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, but weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and the staffing star rating is only 2 of 5. Annual turnover of 44.3% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, yet the inspection rating remains 1 of 5 despite a recent survey in August 2025.
Ararat Nursing Facility has real staffing strength, 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter above the national average, with turnover at 41.7% that's actually a bit better than the typical home. That's the good news, and it matters. The problem is everything else. A one-star inspection rating, 145 deficiencies on record including 12 at the harm or jeopardy level and 17 tied to abuse, and $469,538 in fines across eight penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Weekend staffing also drops about 12% below weekdays, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Saturday. Good aides can't offset a record like that.
Maclay Healthcare Center has 141 certified beds in Sylmar, and it's owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing runs about 4.10 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with weekend coverage about 9% thinner than weekdays, and staff turnover at 43.5% sits just under the national figure. Those numbers aren't the problem. The inspection record is: 185 deficiencies, 12 at harm or jeopardy level, 23 abuse-related, and $384,678 in fines across seven penalties. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Its last inspection was January 16, 2026. Strong quality scores can't offset that inspection history.
Studio City Rehabilitation Center has real staffing strength: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with turnover at 29.3% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's a workforce that mostly stays put, and it shows up in the quality measure rating.
The inspection record tells a different story. CMS has this for-profit, 181-bed home in its Special Focus Facility program, the designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes, with 108 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $45,604 are on file, and the last inspection was August 2025. Good staffing alone hasn't produced a safe building here.
The Metropolitan State Hospital SNF in Norwalk runs on unusually heavy nurse staffing, 9.80 hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average, and its 22.6% turnover is about half the national rate. Those numbers are real, and they matter. But look at the record: 55 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level, ten tied to abuse, and $83,093 in fines. It sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, and its last inspection was December 2025. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekdays. Strong staffing alone hasn't translated into safe care here.
Santa Monica Rehabilitation Center has 170 deficiencies on its current record, including 18 tied to abuse and seven at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in immediate jeopardy. That record, plus four fines totaling $156,799, is why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the worst sustained inspection histories. Staffing looks decent on paper at 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays and turnover sits at 55.8% against a 45.8% national rate. High turnover and a one-star inspection rating mean the people caring for residents are often new and the oversight has been failing.
