The Dorothy & Joseph Goldberg Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
23%
Serious cites

The Dorothy & Joseph Goldberg Healthcare Center runs on 5.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national figure of 3.86, and it holds that staffing with a 23.3% turnover rate, about half the national average of 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level, which is a modest gap by industry standards. Thirty deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related; the most recent inspection was July 24, 2025. This is a nonprofit corporation with 58 certified beds in Encinitas, and the numbers point to steady, well-funded care rather than a building skating by on minimums.

Encinitas Post-Acute

CMS 4/599 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
44%

Encinitas Post-Acute runs 99 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.90 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That thin margin matters less than the weekend gap, where coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level, and the 44.4% turnover rate is basically the industry norm rather than a point in its favor. The inspection record is the stronger part: 36 deficiencies on file with none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A May 2025 inspection means the record is current.

Aviara Healthcare Center

CMS 4/5120 bedsFor-profitMedicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
62%

Aviara Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds in Encinitas under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 4.15 hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average of 3.86. The catch is retention: annual turnover sits at 62.4% against a national 45.8%, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, so the extra hours can be uneven in practice. The record shows 60 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was in September 2025. Quality measures score well; inspections land mid-range; staffing scores low.
