All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Paramount,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Paramount Convalescent Hosp runs 59 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, with turnover at 34.4 percent compared to 45.8 percent nationally. Weekends dip about 11 percent below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The inspection record is where the concern sits, 47 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus one fine of $34,613. The most recent inspection was December 5, 2025, so that picture is current rather than stale. Strong quality scores and steady staff don't erase those survey findings; read the deficiency details before deciding.
Meadow Creek Post-Acute runs 104 beds in Paramount under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 5.21 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit well above the national average of 3.86, that part is genuinely strong on paper. But the inspection record is where things get serious: 97 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 flagged as abuse-related, with $43,016 in fines. Weekend staffing also dips about 6% below weekdays, so coverage isn't as steady as the headline number suggests. Staff turnover runs 40.3%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which is a modest bright spot. The last inspection was April 25, 2025.
La Paz Geropsychiatric Center runs on 2.82 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder number: 69 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 11 tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 18.6% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. A 5/5 quality measure score sits alongside a 1/5 inspection score, a split worth asking about directly.
