All 9 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Pomona,
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.
Mount San Antonio Gardens runs 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 54 percent above the national average of 3.86, and its state inspection record shows 17 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Families should know the catch: weekend staffing drops about 20 percent below the home's own weekday level, so care may look thinner on Saturdays and Sundays than the weekday numbers suggest. The 2025-05-30 inspection is recent, and as a nonprofit corporation it answers to a board rather than shareholders, which usually means steadier staffing decisions.
Pomona Vista Care Center sits in a for-profit LLC with 59 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely stronger than most: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with turnover at 31.7% against a national 45.8%. That stability shows up in the staffing rating, and the quality measures are top-tier too. The trouble is the inspection record. Seventy-five deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. Weekend coverage also dips about 11% below its own weekday level. Good daily care numbers, but a paper trail that says problems have happened here.
Claremont Care Center runs 99 beds in Pomona under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the strongest part of the story: 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 37.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The current record shows 39 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection in February 2026. Quality measures score well; inspections are middling.
Laurel Park runs on 2.68 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 31 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover is 35.3 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem looks less like a revolving door than like too few hands on any given shift. The current record carries 48 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, against a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but strong charting doesn't offset thin coverage or that inspection history.
Country Oaks runs nurse staffing at 4.40 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, which is the main reason it holds a three-star staffing rating. That cushion thins on weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 52.5%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the harder part: 70 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy. A five-star quality measure score and a recent May 2026 inspection round out a mixed picture.
Chino Valley Health Care Center runs 102 beds in Pomona under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Forty-eight deficiencies are on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, that combination is what drives the one-star health inspection rating. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and weekends run about 5% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 45.1% is essentially the national norm, so the instability here isn't unusually bad, but the last inspection was May 2025, and a $10,361 fine is on file.
Landmark Medical Center runs 95 beds in Pomona under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record splits in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. What stands out is staff retention: 26 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, which suggests people stay here. The trouble is inspection history. CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, with 54 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Low turnover is real, but it hasn't kept the care problems out of the building.
The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, but that's where the good news mostly stops. Weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with 139 deficiencies on record, including 12 tied to abuse and four at harm or jeopardy level, tells you regulators have found serious problems repeatedly. Four fines totaling $151,463 back that up. This is a 231-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, and its last inspection was in July 2025. Quality measures score middle-of-the-road, so the clinical picture isn't the concern, the oversight history is.
Inland Valley runs 221 beds in Pomona under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with weekend coverage holding within about 4% of weekdays. Turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The problem is everything else. That staffing hasn't translated into safe care, 197 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $204,818. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled nursing homes, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Good ratios can't offset a record like that.
