Staff turnover
42%

0

Extended Care Hospital Of Riverside runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing number is the first thing worth noting: 4.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday picture is stronger than Saturday and Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 41.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, meaningful in a field where retention is hard. The current inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. The last inspection was February 2026, so the record is recent.

Staff turnover

The Grove Care and Wellness runs 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 11% below what the home covers Monday through Friday, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.7%, almost exactly the national rate, meaning this isn't a stable long-term crew. Inspectors found 24 deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm, but one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The last full inspection was January 30, 2025, so the record is recent. With 38 beds and for-profit corporate ownership, ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays.

Murrieta Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 145 certified beds in Riverside County under for-profit LLC ownership. Its 4.26 nurse hours per resident day sit about 10 percent above the national average, and turnover at 40.6 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere, though weekend staffing drops roughly 12 percent below its own weekday coverage. The current record carries 64 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but three are abuse-related, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 stars. That's the tension here: decent bedside hours and a recent March 2026 inspection, weighed against a long citation history and a below-average inspection score.

Staff turnover

Riverside Heights runs a tight ship on staffing relative to most homes, 4.17 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% above the national average, and its 33.3% turnover is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating and a June 2025 survey, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is quality measures, which land at 2/5, and 17 total deficiencies on record including one abuse-related finding. Weekend staffing also dips about 9% below weekday levels. Owned by a for-profit partnership, this home looks steady on paper but worth asking about that quality score and the abuse citation directly.

The Village Healthcare Center runs 5.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average of 3.86, and that shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Turnover sits at 40.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. But staffing is only part of the picture. Its current record carries 39 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $20,046 fine. Inspections and quality measures both land at three stars, and the last state visit was June 13, 2025. Strong hands on deck, but the compliance history is where the concern lies.

Ramona Rehabilitation runs 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 41.1% sits below the national 45.8%, so people tend to stay. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your relative needs help with meals or mobility on Saturdays. The tradeoff is the record itself: 35 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and one fine totaling $8,281. State inspectors were last in on February 13, 2026. Corporate-owned, 104 beds, mid-range marks for health inspections and quality measures.

Corona Post Acute Center has 176 certified beds and a nurse staffing level of 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 6% below its own weekday numbers, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 48.4%, a few points above the national figure, and the health inspection record is the real concern: 77 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. That inspection history is the main reason this for-profit, individually owned home lands where it does, despite solid quality measure scores.

Rancho Bellagio sits in Moreno Valley with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its nurses put in 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, which matters because staffing is the thing families feel most. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so Saturdays and Sundays run leaner than the rest of the week. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew here is comparatively stable. Against that, the current record shows 44 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $8,827 fine. The last inspection was January 29, 2026.

Riverwalk Post Acute runs 4.28 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 28% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing does dip about 8% below weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 52 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. With 146 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, the quality measures score better than the inspection results.

Sundance Creek Post Acute runs 132 certified beds in Banning under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing story is mixed. At 3.95 nurse hours per resident day it sits just above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover at 33.9% is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn among the people actually providing care. The concerning number is 71 deficiencies on the current record, including six tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on November 24, 2025.

The Springs in Murrieta runs a for-profit partnership with 170 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.55 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, and staff turnover lands at 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. Inspections were recent, December 2025, with 4 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures. The caution is in the deficiency record: 33 total, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $26,918 fine. Strong staffing and inspection scores, but that deficiency history is worth asking about directly.

Temecula Healthcare Center runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where it stands out. At 4.86 nurse hours per resident day, it's roughly 26% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 34.2% against a national 45.8%, both genuinely good signs. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The inspection record is the counterweight. A 2/5 health inspection rating, 36 deficiencies on file including one at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, plus a $17,765 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current. Strong staffing, weaker survey history, that tension is worth asking about directly.

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.

Blythe Post Acute runs 48 beds in Riverside County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are essentially dead even with the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. But that average hides a weekend gap: coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, which matters in a small building where there's less slack to absorb an absence. Turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The trouble is the inspection record: 67 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2026. Two stars each on health inspections and quality measures tell you where the problems cluster.

Hemet Valley Healthcare Center sits in Riverside County with 113 certified beds and corporate for-profit ownership. The nurse staffing number is genuinely unusual, 10.96 hours per resident day, roughly triple the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, so the generous figure isn't evenly spread. Turnover runs 51.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people delivering that care keep changing. Inspections in November 2025 produced a 4-out-of-5 star rating and a recent inspection date, but the current record carries 23 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $51,489 fine. Strong staffing and a clean inspection cycle don't erase what's documented.

Villa Health Care Center runs about 4.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 58.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that above-average care keep changing. The inspection record is current, last survey June 2025, with 35 deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. For a 59-bed for-profit home, the clinical numbers look solid; the questions worth asking on a tour are about weekend coverage and how long the current staff have actually been there.

Meadowbrook Post Acute runs 4.39 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, but weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage. The staffing star rating sits at 2 out of 5, and the health inspection rating matches it. The current record carries 52 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, so the clinical metrics look better than the inspection side. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 64-bed home, and the last inspection was November 18, 2025. The staffing hours look strong on paper, but the deficiency history and weekend drop-off are what a family should ask about directly.

Desert Springs runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident per day, which is actually about 6% above the national average, but that staffing still earns only 2 out of 5 stars from CMS, and weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below what the home provides on weekdays. The bigger issue sits in the inspection history: 49 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus three tied to abuse and a $66,151 fine. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this isn't stale paperwork. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 68-bed home. Strong quality measures and above-average staffing hours don't offset that many serious findings.

Desert Mountain Care Center has 99 certified beds in Indio, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The raw staffing number looks strong, 5.21 nurse hours per resident day, about 35% above the national average, but the federal staffing star tells a different story at 1 out of 5, and weekend coverage runs about 8% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't distributed as evenly as the headline figure suggests. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. The most recent inspection was June 26, 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 against 3 out of 5 for health inspections. Families should ask how the abuse deficiencies were resolved and what weekend staffing actually looks like.

Woodcrest runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and that's a real strength. But the coverage thins on weekends, down roughly 10% from its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 55% against a national average of 45.8%. The current record carries 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, along with a single $12,500 fine. The last inspection was in January 2026. Corporate-owned, 120 beds, and while quality measures score well, the staffing rating and the abuse-related findings are the numbers worth asking about directly.
