Crenshaw Nursing Home runs about 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in a four-star rating. Turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially the national rate. The problem is everything else. Fifty-five deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $47,972. The health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, and the last inspection was April 2026. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below weekday levels. Solid hours don't offset that deficiency record.
The Rehabilitation Center Of Los Angeles runs 180 certified beds as a for-profit partnership, and its nurse staffing comes in well above average, 4.87 hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips only slightly, and turnover of 31.8% is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national rate. The trouble sits in the inspection record: 68 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $61,435. A recent March 2025 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score don't offset that history. Strong hands-on care, a rough paper trail.
West Pico Terrace runs 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, so there's real coverage on the floor. Weekend staffing drops about 12% from weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The health inspection side holds a 4/5 and quality measures a 5/5, but staffing stars sit at 2/5 despite the raw hours, and the record shows 42 deficiencies with one tied to abuse. None of those reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Ownership is a for-profit partnership.
Pavilion On Pico runs 4.21 nurse hours per resident per day, about 9% above the national average, but weekends fall roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families should ask about directly. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 45 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection on January 22, 2026. That volume of findings, even with nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level, tends to point to systems and documentation problems rather than isolated incidents. The 5/5 quality measure rating reflects resident-level clinical data, and the 1/5 staffing star reflects CMS's own turnover and hours calculations, a split worth understanding before touring.
Cheviot Hills Post Acute runs 99 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, not below it, but not cushioning anything either. Weekends dip about 6% under the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. What stands out is turnover: 15.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay put. The inspection record is the counterweight, 63 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $51,613 fine, with the last inspection in February 2026.
Sharon Care Center runs 86 certified beds in Los Angeles under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the staffing picture is thinner than it first looks. Total nurse hours sit at 3.89 per resident day, barely a percentage point above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 52% runs well past the national 45.8%, meaning the people showing up are frequently new.
The bigger issue is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 117 deficiencies total, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse. One fine of $49,162 is on file. The last inspection was April 30, 2026. Strong quality measure scores don't offset that history.
College Vista Post-Acute runs about 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, but weekend staffing drops about 11% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is where the trouble sits: 36 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $43,568 and a May 2025 inspection still fresh. Staff turnover of 46.4% is essentially the national rate, so continuity isn't a strength here. The 4/5 quality measure score reflects chart-based measures, not the survey findings, for-profit corporate ownership and a 2/5 inspection rating mean you should read the full survey report before deciding.
Montecito Heights runs a for-profit, individually owned 90-bed operation in Los Angeles, and the raw staffing number looks good on paper, 4.35 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average of 3.86. But that average hides a real gap: weekends run about 12 percent leaner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and when problems surface. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, though none at harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. Federal inspectors rated quality measures 4 out of 5, which suggests the care itself isn't the issue, consistency of coverage is where this home loses ground.
Overland Terrace runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6 percent above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7 percent below its own weekday coverage. That staffing edge doesn't carry through to outcomes: the home holds 48 deficiencies on its current record, including four tied to abuse, with none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last in on March 6, 2025, so the findings are recent. The federal stars split the picture, four out of five on quality measures, two on staffing, which suggests the clinical numbers chart well even as daily coverage and compliance draw scrutiny. It's a for-profit partnership operating 87 beds.
Highland Park Skilled Nursing and Wellness Center runs 59 certified beds in Los Angeles, and it's a for-profit corporation. Here's the tension worth knowing about: total nurse staffing sits at 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, which sounds reassuring until you notice weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday level. CMS rates staffing just 1 out of 5 stars despite that raw total, and quality measures earn 4 out of 5. The current record carries 53 deficiencies, 2 of them abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, with a health inspection rating of 3 out of 5 and a last visit dated March 2026.
Alta View Post Acute runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage your family sees Monday isn't what shows up Saturday. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $174,736. Staff turnover sits at 44.7%, marginally better than the national 45.8%, which is faint praise. The quality measure score looks strong on paper, but that's resident assessment data, not a measure of how safely the building is run. The last inspection was August 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Staffing here is the bright spot: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% above the national average, and 30.1% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical nationwide. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below weekday levels, though.
The inspection record is where it gets uncomfortable. Fifty-nine deficiencies are on file, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and five tied to abuse. The state has fined this for-profit partnership four times, totaling $193,710, and the last inspection was March 2026. Los Angeles has plenty of options. Ask to see the plan of correction for those harm-level findings before you sign anything.
White Memorial Medical Ctr Dp is a 27-bed nonprofit home run by a church, and its inspection record is genuinely good, four out of five stars, 18 deficiencies on file but none that caused harm or jeopardy, and no abuse citations. The problem sits elsewhere: staffing gets just one star, meaning the number of nurses and aides per resident lands well below what CMS considers adequate. With that few beds, one weak staffing picture touches nearly every shift. The last full inspection was in May 2024, so the record is current. If you're considering this place, ask point-blank how many aides are on the floor at night and on weekends.
Kennedy Care Center runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that number shrinks on weekends and nearly half the nursing staff turns over each year. The bigger problem sits in its inspection record: 108 deficiencies, including one at the level of actual harm and six tied to abuse. A single fine of $38,272 is on file, and the most recent inspection was in August 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and the staffing star rating sits at 2 out of 5 despite the decent daily average.
Los Feliz Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 131 certified beds in Los Angeles under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin narrows further on weekends, when staffing drops about 6% below the home's own weekday levels. The inspection record is where the real concern sits: 107 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $58,006. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside those numbers tells you regulators have found repeated, serious problems across multiple visits, not a single bad day.
York Healthcare & Wellness Centre sits on 107 certified beds in Los Angeles, run by an individual for-profit owner. The raw staffing number looks decent, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, and CMS still rates staffing at just 2 out of 5 stars. The inspection record is the real problem: 56 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with a $99,206 fine and the most recent inspection in May 2025. Quality measures land mid-range at 3 stars, but that paperwork score doesn't offset what surveyors actually found in the building.
Mar Vista Country Villa reports 4.21 total nurse hours per resident day, which sounds solid next to the national average of 3.86, but weekend staffing drops about 9% from its own weekday level. The bigger issue is what inspectors have found: 64 deficiencies on the current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, with $96,569 in fines across four penalties. That inspection record explains the 2/5 health inspection rating despite a 4/5 on quality measures. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 68 certified beds, last inspected November 1, 2024. The staffing number alone doesn't tell the story here.
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.
