Our read on Citrus Nursing Center

Citrus Nursing Center in Fontana sits in a corporate for-profit chain and holds 99 certified beds. Nurse staffing comes in at 4.02 hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 7% below weekday levels. Staff turnover is 32.2%, notably lower than the 45.8% national average. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, one at the harm level, with no abuse citations and a single fine of $7,446. Its last inspection was July 31, 2025. CMS rated its quality measures and health inspections well but gave staffing only two stars, since those hours concentrate on weekdays while turnover, though low, still leaves gaps a family may notice on weekends.
