Nursing homes across Yolo County, California, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Cottonwood Healthcare Center runs on 4.44 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average, though weekends dip about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 43.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure, and the current record shows 43 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was July 30, 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 98 certified beds, and its federal ratings split sharply: five stars each for staffing and quality measures, three for health inspections, strong day-to-day care numbers sitting alongside a longer inspection history.
University Retirement Community At Davis runs a tight ship on staffing: 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 12% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 37.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around here longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff is on inspections. Eighteen deficiencies are on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse. The last survey came in September 2025, so the picture is recent. For a small 37-bed nonprofit, the staffing and retention numbers are the strong points; the deficiency count is what keeps this from being a cleaner record.
The Grove Post-Acute runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 140 certified beds in Woodland, and its staffing numbers land slightly above the national average, about 4.07 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86 nationally. That edge shrinks on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday level, though turnover at 40.6% sits under the national 45.8%, which matters for whether care stays consistent.
The inspection record shows 45 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but six tied to abuse, a pattern worth asking about directly. State inspectors last visited in May 2026, and the home earns 4 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
Woodland Post-Acute runs 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage slips roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for your family member are likelier than average to be new or on their way out. The inspection record is the harder read: 54 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with a $14,302 fine and a survey as recent as March 2026. Quality and staffing both score 4 out of 5 under CMS, but the inspection star of 2 is where the trouble sits.
River Bend Nursing Center has real staffing depth: 4.90 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover at 43.4% actually edges below the national rate of 45.8%. That combination matters, since consistent hands usually show up in day-to-day care.
The trouble sits elsewhere. Forty-seven deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $21,879 fine. Quality measure scores land at 2 out of 5 stars, and the last inspection was August 2025. Weekend staffing also dips about 5% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week.
Courtyard Health Care Center runs on better-than-average staffing: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national figure, with turnover at 39.2% compared to the 45.8% norm. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if you visit on Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in its inspection record, 65 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and ten tied to abuse, against a one-star health inspection rating. That's a serious paper trail, and the state was last in the building in April 2025. Strong staffing and strong quality measures don't erase what inspectors found.
