Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Desert Mountain Care Center has 99 certified beds in Indio, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The raw staffing number looks strong, 5.21 nurse hours per resident day, about 35% above the national average, but the federal staffing star tells a different story at 1 out of 5, and weekend coverage runs about 8% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't distributed as evenly as the headline figure suggests. The inspection record carries 46 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related. The most recent inspection was June 26, 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 against 3 out of 5 for health inspections. Families should ask how the abuse deficiencies were resolved and what weekend staffing actually looks like.

Serious cites
0

Bishop Care Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate. The current inspection record carries 43 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though seven are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. State inspectors last visited in May 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is middling.

Serious cites

Los Banos Post Acute runs a for-profit, limited-liability operation with 59 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Annual turnover lands at 36.7%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests staff tend to stick around. The caution signs are on inspections: a 2-out-of-5 star rating, 24 deficiencies on record, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.

Staff turnover
46%
Serious cites
0

Arbor Hills runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays. Turnover is 46.2%, essentially the national rate, so you're looking at a workforce that churns like most others. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies with one at the harm level and no abuse findings, and the last inspection was recent, in February 2026. Quality measures score well and inspections earned four stars, but the staffing star sits at three, and a single fine of $12,831 is on file. Owned by a for-profit LLC.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Montebello Care Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin enough to disappear on weekends, when coverage drops about 7% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover comes in at 29%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is more stable than most. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 66 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating. No deficiencies rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was May 2026. Quality and staffing measures each landed at three stars.

Pico Rivera Healthcare Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.83 hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 47.8%, a couple points above the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative change fairly often. What stands out more is the inspection record: 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $26,588 fine, even though the most recent inspection in April 2026 earned four stars and quality measures scored five. The gap between those quality scores and the deficiency history is the real story here.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Whittier Hills runs 160 beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 36.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The concern is the inspection record, 74 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Los Angeles County has no shortage of options, so weigh that deficiency history against the adequate staffing before deciding.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Woodcrest runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and that's a real strength. But the coverage thins on weekends, down roughly 10% from its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 55% against a national average of 45.8%. The current record carries 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, along with a single $12,500 fine. The last inspection was in January 2026. Corporate-owned, 120 beds, and while quality measures score well, the staffing rating and the abuse-related findings are the numbers worth asking about directly.

Mid-Town Oaks runs 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that staffing thins out on weekends and more than half the nurses turned over last year, 54.1% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record carries 58 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, which is a real signal, but it's worth asking how a building with this many cited problems and this much turnover holds that score. The most recent inspection was December 4, 2025, so the record is current. One fine on file, $15,593.

Waterman Canyon Post Acute runs 166 beds in San Bernardino under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers here tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.01 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 40.6% is better than the national 45.8%, meaning caregivers stick around slightly longer than average. The current inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related; the most recent inspection was March 2025.

Salinas Valley Post Acute runs 99 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 3% below its own weekday level, so the floor is thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover is 45.5%, essentially identical to the national 45.8%. What stands out is the deficiency record: 50 total on the current file, none rising to harm or jeopardy, but one tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 13, 2026, so the picture is recent.

Longwood Manor runs a 198-bed for-profit operation in Los Angeles, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Turnover sits at 33.2%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The trouble shows up in its record. Eighty-four deficiencies, including one at the harm level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $24,465. State inspectors were last in on May 9, 2025. Quality measures score well, but that inspection history is the number a family should weigh hardest when deciding.

Encinitas Post-Acute runs 99 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That thin margin matters less than the weekend gap, where coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and the 44.4% turnover rate is basically the industry norm rather than a point in its favor. The inspection record is the stronger part: 36 deficiencies on file with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A May 2025 inspection means the record is current.

Ojai Health & Rehabilitation runs 74 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.14 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover is 53.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related. A February 2025 inspection is recent, and the three-star health inspection rating reflects a middle-of-the-road survey history. The staffing star rating of 2/5 stands out against that above-average raw hours number, turnover and weekend gaps likely explain the gap.

Community Care Center runs on 4.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 33.6% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a combination that usually means more consistent caregivers at the bedside. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday staffing, so coverage does thin out. The 27 deficiencies on record are worth noting, but none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality measure and health inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5, while staffing sits at 3.

Rinaldi Convalescent Hospital has 99 beds and runs on about 4.06 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't as steady as the yearly figure suggests. Turnover sits at 42.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national rate. The real trouble is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 65 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. The last inspection was March 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned. Staffing looks adequate on paper; the survey history is what stands out.

Crystal Cove Care Center runs 96 beds in Newport Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.89 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That thin margin matters less than what happens on weekends, when coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives the home just 2 of 5 stars for staffing. Inspections tell a mixed story: 78 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, with the last inspection in February 2025. Quality measures score 5 of 5, a real strength worth asking about directly.

Balboa runs 194 beds in San Diego under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours land at 3.79 per resident day, just under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover is 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces stick around more than at a typical home. The inspection record is the hard part: 44 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though the 5/5 quality measures and a May 2025 inspection suggest clinical outcomes and recent oversight look steadier than that history implies.

Western Slope Health Center sits in Placerville with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The raw staffing number looks fine, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, but that average hides two problems: weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 53.8%, well above the national 45.8%. High turnover means the people caring for your family member are often new and still learning the building. Inspections tell a mixed story: a recent 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, yet 31 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $8,412 rounds out the picture.

Cerritos Vista runs 140 beds in Bellflower under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 45%, roughly in line with the national figure, so retention isn't the standout issue here. What is: 85 deficiencies on the current record, including six tied to abuse, against a one-star health inspection rating. Zero of those were cited at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2026, so the record is current. The quality measure score is strong at four stars, but that reflects resident outcomes on paper, not the inspection findings.
