Lodi Nursing & Rehabilitation runs 74 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. Annual turnover of 26.8% sits well under the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 44 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation. Federal health inspection rating comes in at 3 out of 5, while quality measures hit 5 out of 5 and staffing 4 out of 5. Most recent inspection was March 2026.
Arbor Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 149 certified beds in Lodi under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 44.2%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows 48 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 9, 2026, so the findings are recent. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is more mixed.
Fairmont Rehabilitation Hospital in Lodi runs 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 34.7%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 25 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in January 2025.
Lincoln Square runs on a notably stable crew, 6.1% annual turnover against a national average near 46% is the kind of number that usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same aides. Nurse staffing lands at 4.03 hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure, though weekends dip about 11% below weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. The inspection record is doing the dragging: 46 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, with the last state visit in March 2026. Family members should ask about that abuse finding specifically and how weekend shifts are covered.
North Park Post-Acute runs 99 certified beds in Tracy under limited-liability, for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover comes in at 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing over fairly often.
The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Quality measures score well, and staffing holds up on paper, which is what keeps this home in decent territory despite the citation count.
Crystal Creek Post-Acute runs 152 beds in Stockton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and its quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5. The trouble is the inspection record: 61 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Staffing and quality look reasonable; the enforcement history is what pulls this home down.
Tracy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on more direct nursing time than most homes, 4.59 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. But that staffing thins out on weekends, dropping about 14 percent below its own weekday level, and more than half the nursing staff turns over each year, a bit worse than the 45.8 percent national rate. The record shows 44 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse and one causing actual harm. Its last inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is current. A 62-bed for-profit LLC in San Joaquin County with solid weekday coverage and a heavier-than-average history of cited problems.
Riverwood runs a leaner ship than most on staffing, 4.19 nurse hours per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and its 26.3% turnover is well below the typical 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Those are the numbers that matter most day to day.
The inspection record is where it gets complicated: 36 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and $52,930 in fines across 13 citations. The most recent inspection was September 2025. A for-profit LLC with that citation history is worth asking about directly, what changed, and what the plan is.
Creekside Center runs 75 certified beds in Stockton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average. That headline number has a soft spot: weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS gives staffing only 2 of 5 stars. Turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning nearly half the nursing staff turns over annually. The current inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, four tied to abuse; none reached harm or jeopardy level. Its most recent inspection was March 20, 2026, so the record is fresh. Quality measures score 4 of 5, inspections 3 of 5.
Clearwater Healthcare Center sits on the north side of Stockton with 120 certified beds, run by an individual for-profit owner. The staffing numbers look decent at first glance, 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, but that average hides a 9% drop on weekends, and the 42% annual turnover means the faces change often, even if it's slightly better than the 45.8% national rate. What pulls this home down is its inspection record: 72 deficiencies, including four abuse-related citations and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with the last state visit in March 2025. Strong quality scores don't cancel out that kind of history.
Brookside Care Center sits in Stockton with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing runs 3.88 hours per resident day, right around the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The trouble is the inspection record: 103 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and ten tied to abuse. CMS gave it a single star for health inspections, though quality measures and staffing each earned three. The last inspection was January 31, 2025. That mix, decent staffing, a rough regulatory history, is what drives the middling grade.
Oak Grove Post Acute has enough nurses on paper, 3.93 hours per resident day, just above the national average, but that's the one number that holds up. Weekend staffing drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 48.4%, higher than the national rate. The real trouble is the inspection record: 135 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, and the four fines total $40,283. Roughly 119 beds, for-profit, limited liability ownership. The last inspection was April 9, 2026.
Lodi Creek Post Acute runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and its 41.3% turnover is a bit better than the typical home. That staffing picture is the strongest thing here. The rest is more mixed: 49 deficiencies on record, including 4 tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. State inspectors were last in on November 21, 2025. This is a for-profit LLC with 86 beds, and weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday numbers, worth asking about directly if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays.
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.
