Our read on North Bay Post Acute

North Bay Post Acute is a for-profit LLC operation with 98 certified beds in Petaluma, and its staffing numbers are actually a point in its favor: 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekdays, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits then. The bigger concern sits in its inspection record, 91 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $142,877. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside those numbers is what's really driving the low overall picture here, despite decent quality and staffing scores.
