Nursing homes across Humboldt County, California, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Seaview Rehabilitation & Wellness Center runs 99 certified beds in Eureka under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.23 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even. The current record carries 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. State inspectors were last on site in November 2025. Federal stars put health inspections and quality measures at 4 out of 5, staffing at 3. Ask directly how the abuse-related findings were resolved and what weekend coverage looks like on the evening shift.
Jerold Phelps Community Hospital's skilled nursing unit in Garberville is a 17-bed hospital-district operation, which explains the unusually high nurse staffing: 7.74 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Even with weekends running about 6% lighter than weekdays, that's a lot of hands on deck. The trouble sits elsewhere. Twenty-eight deficiencies on the current record include three tied to abuse, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection came in September 2025, recent enough that the findings still describe how this home operates today. A quality measure rating of 2 out of 5 suggests the everyday care results don't match the staffing investment, and for a small rural unit, that gap is worth asking about directly.
Eureka Rehabilitation & Wellness Center runs 99 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 5% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 43 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,416. The last inspection was January 29, 2026. Given the staffing numbers, the deficiencies are what pull the overall picture down.
Granada Rehabilitation runs 87 certified beds in Eureka under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, roughly 2% above the national average. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours your relative actually gets can vary by day of the week. The inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two fines total $38,445, and the most recent inspection was April 24, 2026. Quality measure scores look stronger than the health inspection side, which is worth asking about directly.
Fortuna Rehabilitation and Wellness Center runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips about 5% below its own weekday levels. That's decent coverage on paper, good enough for four stars on staffing and five on quality measures, but the inspection record tells a different story: 68 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level, ten tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $117,116. A 1-star health inspection rating with a November 2025 survey means regulators have found serious, repeated problems here. For-profit partnership ownership and a recent inspection don't change that math.
