Villa Las Palmas Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
33%
Serious cites
0

Villa Las Palmas runs 151 beds in El Cajon under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average, 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below weekdays. The tradeoff is retention: 33.1% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, so the faces here tend to stick around longer than at a typical home. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus four abuse-related citations and $33,732 in fines. The last inspection was May 2025, so this is current.

Broadway By The Sea runs on a for-profit LLC out of Long Beach, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.31 hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, but weekends dip roughly 13% below weekdays, and turnover runs 53.6% against a national 45.8%, so the hours are there on paper, the consistency isn't. The inspection record is the real problem: 79 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, nine abuse-related, and $205,642 in fines across five events, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Strong quality scores don't offset that paper trail.

Santa Cruz Post Acute runs 149 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average of 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, though weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out when families tend to visit. What stands out is the split between its quality scores and its inspection record: strong marks on clinical measures, but 84 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $161,912. Staff turnover, at 46.7%, tracks close to the national rate of 45.8%. That combination, decent daily staffing, poor inspection history, is worth asking about directly before you decide.

Devonshire Care Center runs 99 beds in Hemet under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, barely a hair above the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 6% leaner than weekdays there, and turnover is 46.7%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger issue is the inspection record: 73 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $10,364 fine on file and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. That record was updated as recently as April 2025, so it reflects current conditions rather than old problems.

Del Rosa Villa runs 104 certified beds in San Bernardino under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers sit right at the national line, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average. That thin margin gets worse on weekends, which run about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover at 49.1% sits above the 45.8% national figure. Inspections tell the heavier story: 33 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with a single fine of $43,930. The health inspection rating lands at 2 out of 5. A recent inspection date of February 2026 means the record is current, so those findings reflect present conditions rather than an old survey.

Madison Grove runs a 243-bed for-profit operation in Redlands, and the raw staffing number looks better than it is: 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 5% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.5%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection side, 42 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, against a single $9,110 fine and a survey last dated September 2025. Two out of five stars each on quality measures and staffing, three on health inspections.

Asistencia Villa runs 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average, but that number comes with an asterisk: weekend staffing dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 50.3% against a 45.8% national average. The record shows 41 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $10,206 fine, with the most recent inspection dated December 2025. Ownership is corporate for-profit, and weekend coverage is thinner than weekdays. The raw staffing hours look strong on paper, but the churn and inspection history suggest the care isn't as steady as the headline number implies.

Joshua Tree Post Acute runs about 47 beds in Yucca Valley, and its inspection record is genuinely decent, a four-star health inspection rating with the most recent survey done in November 2025. The staffing picture is where it gets shakier. At 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, it sits below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is 53% against a national 45.8%, which is high even for an industry where churn is normal. Twenty-four deficiencies are on record, none at harm level, but two are abuse-related, and the home has paid $33,751 in fines across two penalties.

New Orange Hills runs about 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, so the coverage isn't as steady as that number suggests. The real trouble is its record: 82 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with a $8,278 fine, and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. It's corporate-owned, and the last inspection was February 18, 2026, so the record is current, not stale. Strong quality measures (4/5) and above-average staffing sit next to a serious inspection history, worth weighing carefully before choosing it.

Advanced Rehab Center Of Tustin has 123 deficiencies on its current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and eleven tied to abuse. That's the number a family should sit with. The staffing numbers are genuinely better than average, 4.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and turnover at 24.5% is well below the 45.8% norm, which suggests a more stable workforce than most. Weekend coverage drops about 9% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. A single fine of $37,182 and an inspection dated May 2026 round out the picture. The care hours look solid; the inspection history is where the concern lives.

Broadway Manor runs on a decent staffing engine, 4.01 nurse hours per resident per day, a little above the national average, and its turnover, 41%, is actually better than the typical U.S. nursing home. The trouble is what inspections keep finding. Fifty-seven deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $36,090 fine and a February 2026 inspection that was recent enough to still be raw. Weekend coverage also drops about 9% below weekday levels. A for-profit LLC with 78 beds and a two-star inspection history is a place worth visiting unannounced, at different times of day, before you decide.

Golden Modesto Care Center runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, roughly 2% above the national average, though weekends drop about 5% below its own weekday levels. The bigger issue is what inspectors keep finding: 71 deficiencies on the current record, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus 14 fines totaling $348,550. Staff turnover at 45% is about even with the national rate. With the last inspection in September 2024 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, the pattern here is a home that staffs adequately on paper but has repeatedly fallen short where resident safety is concerned.

Brighton Place Spring Valley runs 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average of 3.86, which sounds reassuring until you look closer: CMS gives the staffing a single star, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and that May 2025 inspection is recent enough to still reflect current conditions. For-profit LLC ownership matters here mainly for how staffing decisions get made. The quality measure stars look decent, yet the numbers behind them suggest a home where weekday care is steadier than weekends, and where the state has found plenty to write up without finding immediate danger.

Bay Vista runs 70 beds in Long Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.22 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86. That sounds decent until you look at the inspection record: 56 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and five tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $33,030 are on file. Weekend staffing slips about 5% below weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was June 26, 2025. A 2/5 inspection rating alongside 3/5 marks for quality measures and staffing tells you the care may be adequate on paper, but the compliance history is the real story here.

Driftwood Healthcare Center runs 99 certified beds in Torrance under for-profit LLC ownership. Its total nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, roughly 2% above the national average, but weekends fall about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 65 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $22,601 fine. That history lines up with the 2-out-of-5 inspection rating, even though the quality measure score reaches 3. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Ask about the abuse-related findings and how weekend coverage actually works before deciding.

Maywood Skilled Nursing & Wellness Centre runs 133 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing averages 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average of 3.86. That sounds fine until you notice weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, and CMS gives it just 1 out of 5 stars for staffing, despite a 4 out of 5 quality measure rating. The inspection record is where things get serious: 48 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with $37,385 in fines across two penalties and a 2-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was March 26, 2026.

The Rehabilitation Center of Bakersfield runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record shows a pattern worth taking seriously. The home reports 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't steady. Inspectors have cited 94 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $23,740 and a January 2026 inspection. CMS gives it one star each for health inspections and staffing, three for quality measures. Ask about weekend coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved before deciding.

The Canyons Post-Acute runs 5.32 nurse hours per resident day, about 38% above the national average, and that's the strongest thing in its file. It's not enough to offset the rest. Forty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. State inspectors fined the place $66,158 and, as of their March 2025 visit, rated its health inspection work 2 out of 5. Weekend staffing dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so the extra hours aren't evenly spread across the week. Corporate ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Ask about those harm-level citations and the abuse findings directly before you decide anything.

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.

Briarcrest runs a decent amount of nursing care on paper, 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent above the national average, with turnover at 43.1 percent that's actually a touch better than the typical home. Weekend staffing dips about 7 percent below weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The problem sits elsewhere: 103 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $78,684, and the most recent inspection was March 13, 2025. For-profit partnership ownership, 135 beds. Whatever the daily staffing looks like, that inspection history is what you'd need to ask hard questions about.
