Our read on St. John's Health Care Corporation

St. John's runs 4.24 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and its staffing and quality-measure ratings both come in at 4 out of 5. That's the good part. The health inspection record is where it falls apart: a 1 out of 5, with 30 deficiencies on file, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $141,034 sit on the record, and the most recent inspection was June 9, 2025. Staff turnover is 46.8%, essentially the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 10% below weekday levels, so the hours look strong on paper, but consistency and safety are the real questions here.
