0

Golden Harbor runs 99 certified beds in Hayward under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is more mixed than the raw number suggests. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.97 hours per resident day, about 3% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 45 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $40,025. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5.

Rosemead Healthcare Center runs about 99 certified beds in El Monte, and the staffing headline looks decent at first: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. But that average hides a drop on weekends, when coverage runs about 13% below its own weekday level, and CMS still rates staffing at just 2 out of 5 stars. Turnover sits at 44.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity isn't a strength either. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 73 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a 2-star health inspection rating. The last survey was March 27, 2026. Fines total $8,824 across one penalty.

Creekside Post Acute runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 59-bed home, 6.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 63% above the national figure. That's the strongest thing in its file. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday levels, though, and annual turnover sits at 55.6% against a national 45.8%, so the hours are there but the faces change often. The inspection record is more mixed. Thirty-one deficiencies are on the books, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent, in July 2025. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which is where the weaker numbers show up.

Vasona Creek runs 148 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 3% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 54% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means caregivers are cycling through faster than average. The current record shows 80 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in October 2024. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture and that deficiency count are what pull the overall picture down.

Golden San Andreas Care Center runs 99 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest part of the picture, but weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 49.5% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get harder to talk around: 86 deficiencies on file, six at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $91,172. The last inspection was February 2025. High staffing numbers can coexist with serious findings, and here they do.

City View Post Acute runs 180 beds in San Francisco under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops about 7% below its own weekday level, so the care you see on a Tuesday may not match a Sunday. Staff turnover is 38.2%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies on file, including 7 tied to abuse, plus a $42,528 fine and a two-star health inspection rating, though nothing reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current.

Staff turnover

Beachwood Post-Acute & Rehab has real staffing going for it: 4.68 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth above the national average, and turnover at 30.5% is well below the 45.8% norm, a sign people stay. Weekends dip about 9% from weekday coverage, but that's the least of it. The inspection record is the problem: 118 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 11 abuse-related, and two fines totaling $177,718. The most recent inspection was June 27, 2025, so this isn't stale history. For-profit LLC ownership, 227 beds. Staffing can't offset that deficiency count, ask pointed questions about the abuse citations before considering this one.

Arlington Gardens Care Center

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Arlington Gardens runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because 61 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with a single fine of $8,281. The 47.2% annual turnover lands just above the national 45.8%. CMS gives the home 5 stars for quality measures and 2 stars each for staffing and health inspections, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 99 certified beds.

Meadows Ridge runs 99 certified beds in Colton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection and quality scores both sit at 4 out of 5 stars. The staffing picture is where the tension shows: 3.90 nurse hours per resident day is barely above the national average of 3.86, weekends drop roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 71.3% against a national 45.8%. That churn rate is the number to sit with, nearly three in four staff leaving in a year affects continuity of care regardless of how the star ratings read. The record shows 38 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, none at harm or jeopardy level, plus one fine of $9,032. Last inspected January 29, 2026.

French Park Care Center sits in Santa Ana with 202 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers look decent on paper: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 5% below weekdays. Turnover runs 38.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure. What pulls the grade down is the inspection record. CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars on health inspections, and the current file carries 120 deficiencies, including 8 abuse-related and 1 at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $26,135 fine. The most recent inspection was April 23, 2026. Good staffing can't offset a record like that.

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.

Aviara Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds in Encinitas under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.15 hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average of 3.86. The catch is retention: annual turnover sits at 62.4% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the extra hours can be uneven in practice. The record shows 60 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was in September 2025. Quality measures score well; inspections land mid-range; staffing scores low.

Sunnyvale Gardens runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits basically at the national average, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, but weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday looks thinner than the weekday picture. Turnover is 47.7%, a bit above the 45.8% national mark, which means a lot of new faces cycling through. What stands out more is the inspection record: 54 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $43,176 fine and a 2-star health inspection rating, though quality measures score 5 stars.

Coral Cove Post Acute runs 117 beds in Long Beach under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing is genuinely higher than most: 5.38 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level. The problem is everything else. The current inspection record carries 120 deficiencies, 7 of them at the harm or jeopardy level and 15 tied to abuse. Three fines total $118,978. Health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved and who manages weekend coverage.

Brighton Place San Diego runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its health inspection record is the main thing to know: 53 deficiencies on the current record, including two abuse-related citations. None reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is recent. Staffing looks solid at first glance, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, but the numbers sag on weekends, running about 7% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS rates staffing at just one out of five stars. Total nurse hours can clear the national bar while the distribution still leaves gaps.

Alameda Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 166 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level. The problem isn't the hours on the floor; it's the record. That staffing advantage hasn't translated into a clean inspection history: 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $8,990 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating. The last survey was August 2024, so the current picture is reasonably fresh. Stronger staffing than most, but the compliance record is doing the damage.

Madera Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 176 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the number that should worry you most: 71 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and 5 tied to abuse. Fines total $373,733 across three penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 45.5% is essentially the national norm. The 4/5 quality measure score looks good on paper, but inspections and staffing are where the day-to-day reality shows. The last inspection was August 2025.

Garden City Healthcare Center has 104 beds and runs on a for-profit limited liability structure. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 62.8% against a national 45.8%, that churn matters more than the small staffing edge. The inspection record is where things get serious: 60 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus $35,153 in fines across 3 penalties. The last inspection was February 12, 2026, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5.

Intercommunity Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 86 beds in Norwalk under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 5.04 hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 42.1 percent, a bit under the national 45.8 percent. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read: 46 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing a single $20,654 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so it's current. Staffing looks good on paper; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.

Nurse staffing at this Newhall home runs about 9% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 9% below its own weekday level, not a dramatic drop. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the national 45.8%. The trouble is on the inspection side. The current record carries 91 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and four tied to abuse. Three fines total $118,170, and the last full inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, and staffing holds up, but a record with that many citations, especially the harm and abuse findings, is the number a family should weigh hardest here.
