Staff turnover

Manzanita Healthcare Center runs on 4.75 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 30.6% is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips about 9% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. Sacramento County families weighing this one should read those inspection reports directly rather than rely on the staffing numbers alone.

Acc Care Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 5.42 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 8% below its own weekday levels, which matters because weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly thin out. Turnover sits at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 45 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and six fines totaling $24,087, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current.

Folsom Care Center runs a 99-bed for-profit operation in Sacramento County, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.67 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 31.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for anyone who wants the same faces showing up. The tradeoff is inspection history, 34 deficiencies on record, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in April 2026.

University Post-Acute Rehab runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% above the national average, and its weekend coverage holds within about 7% of weekdays, a gap that tends to matter more than the raw total. Staff turnover sits at 31.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most corporate-owned homes manage. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 26 findings on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025.

Citrus Heights Post Acute runs 162 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover lands at 33.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces on repeat visits. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the most recent inspection was April 2026. Federal ratings put quality measures at 5 and staffing at 4, with health inspections at 3.

Woodside Healthcare Center runs about 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 23.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was in November 2024, and it's a for-profit corporation operating 58 certified beds.

Casa Coloma runs about 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 22.2% is less than half the national rate of 45.8%, a combination that usually points to a stable, adequately covered floor. Weekend coverage does dip about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The 40 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in January 2025. For-profit LLC ownership and a 3/5 inspection rating are the main things pulling the score down.

Fair Oaks Healthcare Center runs on a genuinely strong staffing model, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only modestly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 30.4%, well under the 45.8% national rate, which matters for consistency of care. The trouble is the inspection record: 57 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, with a health inspection rating of just 2 out of 5. Fines are modest at $8,990, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong staffing and quality scores are pulling against a thin inspection history at this for-profit, limited-liability operation.

Sherwood Healthcare Center runs 62 beds in Sacramento under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 8% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 30%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than many places. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. State surveyors gave four stars for health inspections and five for quality measures, with three for staffing.

Saylor Lane runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, about 6 percent above the national average, with turnover at just 20 percent against a national 45.8. That retention matters more than the raw hours, because familiar aides tend to notice changes sooner. Weekend coverage dips roughly 9 percent below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The inspection record is mixed, 41 deficiencies on file, two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent visit was in May 2025. Quality measures score well, and the for-profit limited liability ownership is worth knowing when you ask who's actually on the floor.

Whitney Oaks runs 126 certified beds in Carmichael under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits a bit above the national average, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. Turnover is where it stands out: 29.8% annually, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Weekends dip about 6% below weekday coverage. The harder reading is the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in May 2025. Strong quality-measure scores don't erase that paper trail, and families should ask directly how those abuse citations were resolved.

Staff turnover

Asbury Park runs 139 certified beds under a for-profit LLC, and the nursing hours tell a decent story: 4.41 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover at 45.2% lands right at the national rate, meaning the people caring for your relative cycle through about as fast as anywhere else. The inspection record is where it gets uneven, 50 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is what holds this one back.

Mission Carmichael runs 135 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if your visits fall on a Saturday or Sunday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. Staff turnover comes in at 38.5%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national average; that kind of retention usually shows up in how well aides know the residents. The weight on the other side is the record: 53 deficiencies, 2 tied to abuse, and a 2/5 inspection rating. None of those deficiencies were cited at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2025, recent enough to be worth reading in full before you decide.

American River Center runs on 3.90 nurse hours per resident per day, just a hair above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs during the week. Staff turnover sits at 36%, notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The 24 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection came in April 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability operation in Carmichael, and the pattern here is a home that inspects well and keeps its workers longer than most, with the abuse citations and weekend staffing gap as the things worth asking about directly.

Mckinley Park Care Center runs 86 certified beds in Sacramento under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, basically even with the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record is the concern, 60 deficiencies, one abuse-related, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was January 2026.

Cedarwood Post Acute runs 51 beds in Sacramento under corporate for-profit ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions at once. The clinical quality measures look strong at five stars, and the health inspection rating sits at three, a recent June 2025 survey with 45 total deficiencies on record, three of them abuse-related, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Where it falls apart is staffing: one star, the lowest CMS gives, even as annual turnover of 37.5% beats the national 45.8%. That combination matters. Better-than-average retention doesn't mean enough hands on deck, and with 51 beds and a for-profit operator, the question worth asking is what the daily aide and nurse coverage actually looks like on the shifts your family would visit.

College Oak runs on 4.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 9% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The caution signs are in the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $9,814. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. For-profit, limited liability ownership. The staffing is genuinely solid; the question is whether that care holds up when inspectors look closely.

Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 33 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A February 2026 inspection is recent, and the 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against a 2/5 staffing rating and 3/5 inspections. Corporate-owned, 99 beds.

The numbers here tell two different stories. Eskaton Village Care Center keeps residents safe in the ways inspections measure: 41 deficiencies on record but none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures earn top marks, meaning low rates of things like pressure ulcers and falls. Where it falls down is staffing, the lowest possible rating, well below what CMS expects for 35 beds. Three abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the record. A nonprofit corporation runs the place, so there's no profit motive pushing the margin. The gap between good outcomes and thin staffing is the thing to ask about directly.

Windsor Care Center of Sacramento holds 128 certified beds and is owned by a for-profit limited liability company. Its record shows a sharp split: the quality measure rating is strong at 5 out of 5, but staffing sits at the bottom, 1 out of 5, which matters because daily care depends on having enough hands on deck, not on how well a facility documents clinical metrics. The inspection history is heavier than that staffing score alone would suggest, 52 deficiencies on the current record, including eight tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection dated December 20, 2024. Ask about direct-care staffing levels and how the abuse-related citations were resolved before you decide.
