Delta Oaks Post Acute runs 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 44.6%, close to the national 45.8%. The problem isn't staffing on paper, it's the inspection record. This for-profit LLC home carries 111 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey as recent as October 2025. High nurse hours don't offset that pattern. If you're considering this one, ask specifically what changed since the last inspection.
Harvest Crossing runs 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 10 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 39.7 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at many homes. The concern is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. That combination, decent staffing, a long and partly serious deficiency history, is what holds this for-profit limited liability company home back.
Hampton Post Acute sits at 120 certified beds in Stockton, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its nurse staffing comes in at 4.03 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. Turnover lands at 45.5%, essentially the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 133 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with $21,548 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so that record is current, not stale.
Noble Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Stockton under for-profit limited liability ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, small gaps that add up over time. What stands out more is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 88 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with the last inspection in March 2025. Staff turnover at 32% is actually better than the 45.8% national average, but that's doing less work than it sounds given everything else. Worth asking hard questions before you decide.
