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.
Las Flores Convalescent Hospital has real staffing depth, 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and turnover at 31.7% beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 82 deficiencies on file, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $107,406. A 4-out-of-5 staffing rating next to a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating tells you the people are there but the systems around them aren't holding. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
Fidelity Health Care sits in El Monte with 90 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. What stands out first is the nursing staff: 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. Turnover is the real bright spot, 14.3% a year, far below the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concern is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 44 deficiencies on the current record, including four abuse-related citations, none at the harm level. The state inspected most recently in April 2025, so the record is current.
Cedar Pine Post Acute runs 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 35.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, in May 2025. The trouble is what those inspections keep finding: 89 deficiencies on the current record, including 7 tied to abuse and 2 serious enough to put residents in harm's way. A single $9,113 fine looks light against that pattern, and under a for-profit corporation, the staffing strength isn't offsetting a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. Strong quality scores can't carry a home with this citation history.
Glendora Canyon runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 39.1% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay longer than is typical. The problem isn't the workforce; it's the record. Seventy-three deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, with a January 2026 inspection that turned up a one-star health inspection rating. Weekend coverage also dips about 6% below weekday levels. For a for-profit LLC with 120 beds, that inspection history is the thing to ask about directly before deciding.
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.
Santa Fe Heights sits in Compton with 99 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. The staffing numbers look solid on paper, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average, and turnover at 27.8% is well below the 45.8% national figure. But weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't as steady as the average suggests. What drags this home down is its record: 126 deficiencies, including 17 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three fines totaling $113,169. The most recent inspection was February 9, 2026.
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%.
Hawthorne Healthcare & Wellness Centre runs about 4.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. The 88-bed for-profit partnership carries 35 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection dated March 27, 2026. CMS gives it middling marks on health inspections and just one star each for quality measures and staffing, which is a lot of recent survey activity without any serious harm finding.
Gem Tcu has 75 certified beds in Pasadena and runs a for-profit operation under an LLC. Total nurse staffing comes in at 4.47 hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, but that number looks less steady when you see weekends run about 12% below weekdays, and annual turnover hits 59.7% against a national average of 45.8%. More than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where this home really struggles: 87 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, drawing a $27,808 fine. CMS rated its last inspection 1 out of 5 stars, and that inspection was recent, November 2025.
Colonial Care Center has 196 certified beds and enough nursing staff, 4.36 hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, with turnover at 36.6% that beats the typical home. That part isn't the problem. The problem is the inspection record: 82 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, four tied to abuse, and $140,904 in fines across four penalties. The most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. Weekend staffing dips about 6% below weekday levels, and the quality measure rating sits at 2 out of 5. In a for-profit corporate chain, staffing hours alone don't offset that kind of enforcement history.
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.
Artesia Palms runs 296 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. That's the one number working in its favor. Everything else on the record pulls the other way: 70 deficiencies, 9 of them serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy, plus 12 tied to abuse. CMS has fined the home six times for a total of $267,056 and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most troubled homes. Weekend staffing also drops about 8% below weekday levels. Turnover, at 45.5%, is essentially the national norm, so it explains nothing here. The last inspection was May 29, 2026.
California Post-Acute Care in Lynwood carries one of the heaviest deficiency records you'll see: 144 total, including 11 tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way. Every CMS rating category lands at one star, inspections, quality measures, staffing, so there's no strong area offsetting the weak ones.
Being named a Special Focus Facility means federal regulators have singled this home out for closer monitoring, a step they reserve for the worst performers. The last inspection was in May 2026, and a $33,120 fine is on record. With 130 beds, that's a lot of residents in a building the government is actively watching.
Providence St Elizabeth Care Center has real strengths in its staffing: 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and turnover at 27.8% that's notably lower than the typical home. But that's where the good news largely ends. The health inspection record is poor, 82 deficiencies on file, including four at the harm level and one abuse-related citation, plus two fines totaling over $54,000. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Strong bedside staffing can't offset a documented pattern of serious health and safety failures.
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.
Bay Crest Care Center is an 80-bed for-profit home in Torrance, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but it drops roughly 8% on weekends, so care can thin out exactly when families tend to show up. Staff turnover of 56.4% runs well above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. On the inspection side, CMS counts 124 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with four fines totaling $124,336. The home is currently in CMS's Special Focus Facility program.
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.
Four Seasons Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 201 beds in North Hollywood under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Resident care measures look decent, but the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 141 deficiencies on file, including 9 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus $87,215 in fines. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. The most recent inspection was April 2025.
Mirage Post Acute runs 299 beds in Lancaster under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average. But the inspection record tells a different story: 262 deficiencies, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 21 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes, and there are three fines totaling $153,991. Staff turnover sits at 50.4%, above the 45.8% national average, and weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels. With a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2026 inspection date already on record, the high staffing figure isn't translating into safe care.
