Westwood Post Acute Care sits in Los Angeles with 93 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. Its overall nurse staffing of 4.07 hours per resident day runs about 5% above the national average, but that edge fades on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level, and CMS rates staffing just 2 out of 5, with the same score on health inspections. The inspection record is the real weight here: 87 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, plus 2 fines totaling $110,919. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was April 2025.
Vernon Healthcare Center has a staffing number that looks fine on paper, 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, but it drops roughly 10% on weekends, so the coverage your family sees Monday isn't what shows up Saturday. The inspection record is where this home really struggles: 103 deficiencies on file, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 15 tied to abuse. Three fines total $178,438, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. This is a for-profit LLC with 99 beds operating under a 1-star health inspection rating despite decent quality scores. Ask hard questions about the abuse deficiencies and weekend staffing before you consider it.
New Vista runs a for-profit operation with 116 beds, and the nurse staffing number looks good on paper: 5.18 hours per resident day, about a third above the national average. The catch is who's delivering that care. Turnover sits at 68.6%, roughly half again the national rate, so the people at the bedside keep changing, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 124 deficiencies on file, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, nine tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling over $52,000. A five-star quality measure score sits alongside a one-star inspection rating. The most recent look came in February 2026.
Infinity Care of East Los Angeles runs 99 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the government's own ratings: one star for staffing and one star for health inspections, even as its quality measures score five stars. The inspection record is the harder read: 76 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 11 tied to abuse, and $65,817 in fines. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025, so the record is current, not stale. For a family weighing this one, the staffing numbers and the abuse-related findings are what matter most.
La Brea Rehabilitation Center runs 141 beds in Los Angeles under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.6% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so care thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concern sits: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 98 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $33,091 has been levied, and the last inspection was June 19, 2025.
University Park Healthcare Center has real staffing strengths: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 41.3%, lower than the typical 45.8%. Weekends dip roughly 7% below weekday coverage, but that's a modest gap. The problem isn't the floor staff, it's the record. Seventy-seven deficiencies, 8 involving actual harm or jeopardy, 13 tied to abuse, and $230,606 in fines across four actions. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 on quality measures tells you the clinical metrics look fine on paper while the survey history says otherwise. This for-profit, LLC-owned home was inspected as recently as April 2026.
Olympia Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles runs 135 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 23.5%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively steady crew.
The trouble is on the inspection side. Forty-two deficiencies are on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two of three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5, and a $8,278 fine is on file. The last inspection was May 2025. Good staffing alone doesn't offset that record.
Staffing at Hollywood Premier is genuinely better than most: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and turnover of 19.8% is less than half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekdays, but that's a modest gap. The problem sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 81 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $17,342. The last inspection was in August 2025, so this is a recent picture, not old history. Good staffing can't offset that many serious findings, tour it, but ask hard questions about the abuse citations.
Meadowbrook runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.47 hours per resident per day, about a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 31.9%, better than the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay, but there are fewer of them. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 42 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for a 77-bed home, and it lines up with the 2/5 inspection rating despite strong quality measures and a recent April 2026 visit.
Miracle Mile Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so that headline number doesn't hold steady across the week.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 110 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse. Four fines total $295,952. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. CMS rates health inspections 1 out of 5, staffing 2 out of 5, quality measures 3 out of 5.
Kei-Ai Los Angeles Healthcare Center runs 300 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Turnover sits at 40.1%, under the national figure. The inspection record tells a different story. There are 122 deficiencies on file, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $184,989. A recent inspection in February 2026 hasn't wiped that history clean. Plenty of hands on deck, but a documented pattern of serious problems those hands haven't solved.
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%.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
