Staff turnover

Parkside runs 4.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits at 22.6%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. That combination matters more than any single number, since consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below the home's own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday coverage. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. With a 5/5 health inspection rating and a May 2025 survey, this is a for-profit corporate home that has stayed clean on the measures that usually predict trouble.

Woodside Healthcare Center runs about 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, which is roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 23.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home carries 21 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was in November 2024, and it's a for-profit corporation operating 58 certified beds.

Canyon Oaks runs a 185-bed for-profit home in Canoga Park, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card. At 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% above the national average, and turnover of 24.1% is roughly half the national rate, that kind of retention matters more than any single inspection score. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, worth asking about directly. The health inspection record is thinner: 64 deficiencies on file, four tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent. Quality measures score well. The mixed picture is real, so ask about those four abuse deficiencies specifically.

Vibra Hospital of Northern California runs 32 certified beds in Redding, and its nurse staffing sits at 6.09 hours per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the for-profit corporate owner runs the building. High staffing and strong quality measures are doing the heavy lifting here, but those four abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly before you decide.

Linda Mar Care Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.56 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 37.7% versus 45.8% nationally. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday shift. Seventeen deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in January 2025. For-profit corporate ownership is worth naming, but the numbers here don't read like a home cutting corners on care.

Nurse staffing here runs about 4.21 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and weekends dip only slightly below weekdays, a sign the schedule holds up rather than thinning out. Staff turnover sits at 21.5%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. The record shows 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was September 11, 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 99 certified beds, drawing 4s on both health inspections and quality measures and a 5 on staffing.

Red Bluff Health Care Center runs 58 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day. That's a modest gap, and weekends dip only about 1% below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly even. What stands out more is turnover: 32.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning this home retains caregivers better than most. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record, 26 deficiencies, one abuse-related, and 10 fines totaling $47,637, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside that compliance history.

Saratoga Retirement Community Health Center runs 4.32 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 23.9% is about half the national rate of 45.8%, two numbers that tend to matter more than anything else for day-to-day care. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2025. As a nonprofit with a 5-star health inspection rating, the pattern here is steady rather than spotless.

Hillcrest Heights runs about 96 beds in San Diego under a for-profit limited liability owner, and the staffing numbers are the strongest thing about it: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, with turnover at 30.3% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. Quality and staffing measures both rate well above average for a home this size.

Covenant Village Care Center runs about 4.29 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 30.9 percent sits well below the 45.8 percent typical elsewhere. Weekend coverage dips about 12 percent below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The 18 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. As a nonprofit with four out of five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, the numbers point to steady care rather than a standout or a concern.

Samarkand runs about 4.38 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.8% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, that combination matters more than any single number, since consistent caregivers who stay tend to know residents' routines. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026, so the survey history is current and free of serious findings.

St. Paul's Towers runs on 4.22 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The turnover number is the standout: 23.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycle through than at the typical home. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2024. As a nonprofit, it has no shareholder pressure driving census or cost decisions.

Summerfield runs leaner than most places on turnover, and that matters more than any single inspection score. About a third of its staff leaves each year, well under the national rate, which usually means residents see the same faces instead of a rotating cast. Nurse staffing sits about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 19 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and a single fine just over $3,100. The last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. It's a for-profit LLC with 70 beds.

Nurse staffing at The Terraces at Los Altos runs about 41 percent above the national average, 5.45 hours per resident day, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 47.1 percent, slightly worse than the national 45.8, and inspectors have logged 38 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and the last full inspection was recent, in August 2025. For 30 beds, that's a lot of regulatory paperwork for a small home.

Oak Ridge Healthcare Center runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and its staff tends to stick around, 29.2% annual turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The 26 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2026, so the picture is current. A for-profit LLC operates the 67-bed home. Strong marks on quality measures and staffing sit alongside a middle-of-the-road inspection history.

Beachside Post Acute runs 110 beds in Torrance under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is better than most: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 7% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 31.8% against a 45.8% national average, which matters for whether caregivers actually know the residents. The trade-off is in the inspection history, 31 deficiencies on record, including three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was December 2025, so that record is current, and the 4/5 health inspection and 5/5 quality measure ratings suggest the problems found were correctable rather than systemic.

Coastal View in Ventura runs on 5.22 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more staffing than the national average, and its caregivers tend to stick around, turnover is roughly half the national rate. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. The record isn't spotless. Inspectors have logged 36 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm, and a fine of $8,278. Weekend staffing also dips below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. The strong staffing and low turnover are doing most of the work here; the survey history is what keeps this from being a cleaner picture.

The Meadows Post Acute sits in Panorama City with 98 certified beds and a for-profit LLC owner. Its nurse staffing runs 4.57 hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, and turnover is 29.5%, noticeably better than the 45.8% typical nationwide. Those are real strengths. But the inspection record tells a different story: 46 deficiencies, three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $20,790 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection date is February 12, 2026. With weekend staffing about 9% below its weekday level, consistent coverage may be a question worth asking about directly.

Pacific Palms Healthcare has a staffing story that looks good on paper, 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and turnover at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. But the inspection record tells a different story: 67 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse. The single health inspection star of 1 out of 5 reflects that, even as the quality measure rating sits at 5 out of 5. That gap between reported quality scores and actual survey findings is worth sitting with. Weekend staffing also dips about 9% below weekday levels. The last inspection was in November 2025, so the record is current.

Annual turnover sits at 32.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most. The tradeoff is inspection history, 40 deficiencies on record, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in March 2025. Quality measures score 5/5, staffing 4/5, inspections 3/5.
