Our read on Westhills Village Health Care Facility

Westhills Village runs about 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17% below its own weekday coverage, that gap matters most when a family member needs help on a Saturday. The inspection record is otherwise solid: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, a recent survey from March 2026, and one fine of $8,788. But 11 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, and staff turnover of 46.2% is essentially the national rate. For a 44-bed nonprofit, that mix of good routine oversight and a few serious findings is what holds the grade at a B.
