What to ask about before you visit

These are findings in the public CMS record for this home. They are not our opinion, each one comes straight from a federal inspection or enforcement file.

  • Nursing staff turnover of 88%

    High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. The national average is about 50%.

Our read on Valley Oaks Care Center

Valley Oaks runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and that thin margin holds steady on weekends, so there's no extra coverage when families visit. The bigger strain is turnover: 88.1% of nursing staff left last year, nearly double the national rate of 45.8%. Consistent caregivers are hard to keep when nearly everyone is new. The record isn't alarming on safety, 14 deficiencies, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality measures score well, but that staffing number sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and it's the piece families feel daily.
