Staff turnover
48%
Serious cites
0

Buena Vista Care Center runs 150 certified beds in Santa Barbara under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just barely above the national mark, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That thin margin thins further on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover lands at 47.6%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 32 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none are abuse-related. A 2/5 health inspection rating against a 4/5 quality measure score suggests the clinical measures look better than the day-to-day compliance picture. The most recent inspection was April 2026.

St Francis Healthcare Center runs 62 certified beds in Hayward under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.28 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number deserves a caveat: weekend coverage drops about 13% below the home's own weekday levels, so care on Saturdays and Sundays looks thinner than the weekly average suggests. Staff turnover is 52.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because new faces mean less continuity for residents. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. The most recent inspection was April 2026.

Corona Post Acute Center has 176 certified beds and a nurse staffing level of 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 6% below its own weekday numbers, so care thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 48.4%, a few points above the national figure, and the health inspection record is the real concern: 77 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. That inspection history is the main reason this for-profit, individually owned home lands where it does, despite solid quality measure scores.

Nurse hours

Bayshire San Dimas runs a 45-bed for-profit home in LA County, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing it has going. At 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average of 3.86 by roughly 15%, and its 32.7% turnover sits well under the 45.8% national figure, both meaningful, since consistent caregivers matter more than almost anything else. The catch is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and eight fines totaling $85,083. Quality measures score well and the last inspection is recent, but that many citations points to a building where care planning and safety practices slip, even with enough staff on hand.

The Springs At Pacific Regent runs 5.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86, and it holds 5 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures. Weekend staffing drops about 19% below its own weekday level, though, so the strong overall number leans on weekdays. The record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 59 certified beds. The staffing star lands at 3 out of 5 even with the high hours, which is worth asking about directly.

Ocean Park Healthcare runs a small 41-bed building in Santa Monica, and the staffing numbers are its strongest feature: 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, with turnover at 35.4% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekday levels, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits on Saturdays. The concern is the inspection record, 58 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six flagged as abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. One fine totaling $12,735 has been levied, and the last inspection was in May 2025. For-profit LLC ownership.

Baywood Post Acute runs 45 beds in Campbell under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. Weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, though, and annual turnover hits 48.1%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent visit was April 2025. State surveyors rated health inspections 3 out of 5, quality measures 4 out of 5, staffing 3 out of 5. Solid staffing, a long deficiency list, and recent oversight, that's where this one actually stands.

Jones Convalescent Hospital is a small for-profit home in San Leandro, just 25 certified beds, which means you're not going to get lost in a crowd here. Nurse staffing runs about 4.20 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 50%, a bit higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where this home looks steadiest: a 4/5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in January 2024, with 20 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Twenty citations is a lot of paperwork, but the severity matters more than the count.

Rancho Bellagio sits in Moreno Valley with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its nurses put in 4.32 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, which matters because staffing is the thing families feel most. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so Saturdays and Sundays run leaner than the rest of the week. Turnover sits at 33.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew here is comparatively stable. Against that, the current record shows 44 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single $8,827 fine. The last inspection was January 29, 2026.

Parkview Healthcare Center is a 41-bed for-profit home in Anaheim, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 6% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 65 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. CMS gives it 5 stars for quality measures but only 2 for staffing, and the company is a limited liability entity, which can limit what's recoverable in a dispute.

Centinela Skilled Nursing & Wellness Centre West is a 59-bed for-profit home in Inglewood, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, a clean recent survey in November 2025, and 32 deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy. One abuse-related deficiency is worth asking about directly, since those tend to say more about a building's culture than raw counts do. Where the picture gets more mixed is staffing. Overall nurse hours run slightly above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 8 percent below this home's own weekday coverage, and the staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5. That gap is the thing to press on: who's actually in the building on a Saturday, and how many residents per aide.

Bay Marina runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters less than the inspection record: 53 deficiencies on file, including 8 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $22,584. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current. The quality measure score is strong, staffing is middling, and the health inspection side is where the trouble sits. A for-profit LLC operating 94 beds in Oakland.

Crystal Ridge runs 99 certified beds in Grass Valley under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the weak spot in an otherwise decent record. Nurses provide 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 18% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially matching the national rate. The survey history is the real concern: 45 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Inspectors last visited in May 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers tell you to ask hard questions about who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.

Delta Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average of 3.86, that's the strongest thing in its file. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The 29 deficiencies on record sound like a lot, but none rose to harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score high and inspections look solid; staffing stars sit low, which usually reflects retention and turnover rather than raw hours. It's a for-profit partnership, 44 beds, and the numbers hold up.

Lemon Grove Care and Rehabilitation Center runs 158 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 2% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 47.7% against a national 45.8%, thin margins either way. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 60 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection star rating. Quality measures score 5/5 and staffing 3/5, but those numbers don't offset a citation history that recent. The last inspection was December 18, 2025.

Victoria Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 79 certified beds in Costa Mesa under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers that stand out most are its people. Nurse staffing sits at 4.22 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover is 17.9%, well under the national 45.8%, which means the aides and nurses around your family member are more likely to still be there next year. Inspections are current as of July 2025 and clean where it matters most: 27 deficiencies on record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The federal staffing star lands at 3 of 5, a reminder that averages hide the weekend gap.

University Care Center runs on 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, a small gap, but one to ask about if your family visits Saturdays. The 42 deficiencies on record sound like a lot until you see none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. Turnover sits at 36.4%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. Corporate for-profit ownership, 87 beds, with quality measures scoring well above its staffing marks.

The Villas At Saratoga runs on a for-profit LLC model with 86 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.39 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 21.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels. Where it gets harder to defend is the inspection record: 60 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $40,323 in fines across two events. The most recent inspection was December 2024. Strong day-to-day staffing, but a compliance history that a family should read closely before deciding.

Buena Vista runs 99 certified beds in Anaheim under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, basically level with the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the standout: 32% against a national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 70 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, with zero at the harm or jeopardy level, and a December 2025 inspection that's recent enough to trust. Quality measures score well; inspections land in the middle.

Woodlands Healthcare Center in Los Gatos runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially the national rate, so expect some churn among caregivers. The 5/5 inspection rating is the strongest part of the picture, helped by a recent February 2025 survey, but 26 deficiencies are on record, one abuse-related, none at the harm or jeopardy level. Quality measures land at 3/5, and at 65 beds this for-profit LLC is small enough that a single bad stretch of staffing can show up fast.
