Lake Park Healthcare Center runs 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, but that number hides a staffing star rating of just 2 out of 5 and weekend coverage that drops about 13% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 54.3%, nearly nine points above the national average, meaning aides and nurses are cycling through fairly quickly. The home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus four fines totaling $34,228. Its last inspection was November 7, 2024, and the quality measure score of 4 out of 5 stands out against the weaker inspection and staffing marks.
Golden Harbor runs 99 certified beds in Hayward under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is more mixed than the raw number suggests. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 45 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $40,025. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5.
Alameda Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 166 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level. The problem isn't the hours on the floor; it's the record. That staffing advantage hasn't translated into a clean inspection history: 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $8,990 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating. The last survey was August 2024, so the current picture is reasonably fresh. Stronger staffing than most, but the compliance record is doing the damage.
Bay View Rehabilitation Hospital runs 180 certified beds in Alameda, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. What stands out is retention: 21.6% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record is more of a mixed picture: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $46,726 fine. Its most recent inspection was October 31, 2024, so that record is fairly current.
