Nursing homes across Butte County, California, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Country Crest runs 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 13% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 53.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that above-average care keep changing. The current record shows 41 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was January 2026. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale even as health inspection and staffing each land mid-range. It's a for-profit limited liability company, 59 beds, in Oroville.
Gridley Post Acute runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 39.3 percent, lower than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. It's a for-profit LLC with 82 beds in Butte County, rated 5 stars on health inspections and 4 on both quality measures and staffing. The weak spots are the weekend staffing drop and the sheer count of deficiencies, even minor ones.
California Park Post Acute runs 4.31 nurse hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39.3% beats the national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. The trade-off shows up in the inspection record: 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. Weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekday levels, which is common but still worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. For-profit corporate ownership, 90 beds, and a recent survey, the picture is a home that's adequately staffed but has real compliance issues to weigh.
Chico Terrace runs 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, but weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so the coverage your family member gets depends on the day. The inspection record is where the concern sits: 48 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $34,573, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. None of those deficiencies reached harm or jeopardy level, and the quality measure score is strong. This is a for-profit partnership with 76 beds and a mixed record, decent daily care numbers undercut by a heavy citation history.
Arbor Post Acute runs 144 beds in Chico as a for-profit corporation. Its nurse staffing sits just barely above the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are the ones when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 42.5%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is the real story here: 94 deficiencies, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 11 tied to abuse. Two fines total $61,825, and the most recent inspection was January 24, 2025. A four-out-of-five quality measure score doesn't offset a one-out-of-five on health inspections, those 94 findings describe care that was actually delivered, not how residents were assessed.
Oakwood Healthcare Center sits at 99 certified beds in Chico, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the care you get depends on when you visit. The real trouble is the inspection record: 101 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $76,946. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with a recent August 2025 survey tells you regulators keep finding problems. Good staffing hours alone don't offset that pattern.
Autumn Creek Post Acute has 184 beds in Chico and runs on a for-profit, limited-liability setup. The raw staffing number looks fine on paper, about 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, but weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and staffing stars land mid-range at 3 out of 5. The inspection record is where it gets serious: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 89 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level, and 13 tied to abuse. Two fines total $148,521, with the most recent inspection in February 2025.
Oroville Hospital Post-Acute Center runs 126 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.44 hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, and it's why staffing earns a mid-tier rating. But look at what the extra hours are covering for: 46 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Inspections and quality measures each land at the lowest star rating, and the most recent survey came in December 2024. One fine of $45,500 is on file. Weekend staffing also drops about 11% below its own weekday level, so the coverage thins out when families tend to visit.
Feather River Care Center runs 50 beds in Oroville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. That staffing edge is undercut by churn: annual turnover sits at 58.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the real concern, 81 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, plus a $59,794 fine and a one-star health inspection rating. The quality measure rating of four stars reflects resident care metrics, but the staffing star and inspection history tell a different story.
