Staff turnover

Carlsbad By The Sea runs 33 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday and Sunday care. Turnover sits at 25%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The home carries 8 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection dated March 25, 2026. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, come in at 5 out of 5.

St. John Kronstadt runs about 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The turnover number is the real standout: 12.2% against a national average near 46%, which suggests a stable crew that knows the residents. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record, 33 total, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, so read the actual inspection reports rather than trusting the star ratings alone. The most recent state visit was November 2025, so the picture is current.

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.

Sunny View Manor runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 4.92 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its staff tend to stay, with turnover at 14.3% against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse, and a single fine of $8,176. Its last inspection was in April 2025, and the nonprofit owner keeps both quality and staffing marks at the top of the federal scale.

The Terraces of Los Gatos runs on a nonprofit model with 59 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits about 22 percent above the national average, roughly 4.73 hours per resident per day against 3.86. Turnover is 30.4 percent, well below the national 45.8, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. Weekend coverage does dip about 12 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection history is the catch: 30 deficiencies on record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $32,487. The most recent inspection was January 9, 2025, so the picture is current.

The Jewish Home & Rehab Center runs 362 beds on a nonprofit model, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.20 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover comes in at 25.6% against a national 45.8%, so the same caregivers are likelier to still be there next year. What pulls against that picture is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Strong staffing and low turnover are real advantages, but the abuse-related findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Piedmont Gardens runs on a nonprofit model with 94 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself. At 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 23 percent above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 5 percent below its own weekday levels, which is a smaller drop than many homes manage. Staff turnover tells a similar story: 21.2 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Eleven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. For a family weighing options, the pattern here is steady hands and few red flags.

Providence Little Co Of Mary Transitional Care Center runs on 6.85 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 77% above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 24.5% is about half the national figure. Weekend coverage dips around 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation worth asking about directly. Inspections are current as of April 2026, and this church-affiliated nonprofit holds a 4 out of 5 on health inspections and a 5 on staffing.

Adventist Health Sonora's nursing home runs four and a half nurse hours per resident each day, about a fifth more than the typical American nursing home, and its weekend coverage, while lighter than weekdays, doesn't fall off a cliff. Staff turnover of roughly 28 percent is well below the national figure, which matters more than any single inspection score, since familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident's condition. The trade-off sits in the record: 39 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm. State inspectors were last in the building in June 2025.

Sharp Chula Vista Med Ctr Snf runs on a level of nurse staffing you rarely see: 5.45 hours per resident per day, about 41% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only slightly below weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 21.6%, less than half the national rate, a sign people stay. Inspections were recent and the health record is solid, though 34 deficiencies include one at harm level and two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. Nonprofit ownership and a B grade reflect a home whose day-to-day care capacity is strong, with specific past problems worth understanding before you decide.

Regents Point - Windcrest runs a lean ship on the staffing side. Its 4.99 nurse hours per resident day sit about 29% above the national average, and the team sticks around far longer than most, 30.8% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if you visit Saturdays. The record isn't spotless: 34 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025. This nonprofit's clinical quality measures and inspection history both land at four stars, with staffing at the top of the scale.

Nurse staffing at The Meadows of Napa Valley runs about 4.82 hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and weekends dip only about 8% below weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly steady. The nonprofit's 41.7% turnover is modestly better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related citations, with the last inspection in November 2024. Strong staffing and a five-star inspection rating sit alongside some serious past findings, which is the tension worth weighing when you visit.

Meadowood runs on a non-profit model with 100 certified beds in Stockton, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. That matters, though weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Staff turnover sits at 28.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 38 total, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current.

Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The record shows 37 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and the last inspection was in February 2026. This nonprofit's strength sits in staffing and quality measures rather than a spotless inspection history, so read the survey findings yourself before deciding.

Community Convalescent Center Of San Bernardino runs on 9.85 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average of 3.86, and keeps its staff: turnover is 23.9% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Inspectors were last in on April 24, 2025, and found 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one flagged as abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. The nonprofit operator has a 5/5 inspection rating and 5/5 on quality measures, though staffing scored 4/5 despite the high hours, likely a mix or retention issue.

The staffing situation at Atterdag is unusual in two directions at once. Total nurse hours run 4.85 per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and the 19.6% turnover is less than half the national figure, people tend to stay. But that same staffing rates only 1 star from CMS, likely because those hours aren't distributed the way the formula expects, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is heavier than you'd want: 32 deficiencies, one abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. The most recent survey was January 2026, so the picture is current. As a nonprofit with 50 beds, it's small and locally run, worth visiting on a weekend.

Claremont Manor runs high on staffing: 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 35% above the national average, and it holds onto workers far better than most, 22.5% turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, which matters if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the caution flag. The home carries 55 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. Its last inspection was March 2026. A nonprofit with strong staffing and steady retention, but that deficiency list is where I'd focus your questions before touring.

Villa Gardens runs 5.06 nursing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 21.8 percent against a national 45.8, that kind of retention usually means residents see the same faces month to month. Weekend coverage dips about 11 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The 31 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count, though a 3/5 inspection rating suggests some of those findings weren't trivial. The last survey was December 2025, so the picture is current.

Palm Village is church-affiliated and nonprofit, and its 120 beds are staffed at 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average. Weekend coverage slips about 6% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The catch is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection star. That's a lot of citations for a home this size. Quality measures score 5/5, but those come largely from resident assessments the home reports itself. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the record is current.

Barton Hospital's skilled nursing unit sits at 48 beds in South Lake Tahoe, run by a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing averages 4.34 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national figure, and the 32% annual turnover is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national average, people tend to stay here.

The current inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $9,110. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Strong staffing and steady retention are doing real work here; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.
