All 7 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Santa Rosa,
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.
Spring Lake Village runs a genuine nonprofit operation in Santa Rosa with 70 certified beds, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.54 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping only about 12% from weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 22.1%, roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, which suggests caregivers are staying long enough to know the residents. The health inspection record holds 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last on site January 22, 2026, and the federal ratings land at 4 out of 5 for health inspections and 5 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing.
Summerfield runs leaner than most places on turnover, and that matters more than any single inspection score. About a third of its staff leaves each year, well under the national rate, which usually means residents see the same faces instead of a rotating cast. Nurse staffing sits about 15% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays.
The inspection record is clean where it counts: 19 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and a single fine just over $3,100. The last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. It's a for-profit LLC with 70 beds.
Arbol Healthcare Center of Santa Rosa runs 45 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.62 hours per resident day, roughly 46% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover is 50%, a bit higher than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 36 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A 4/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 quality measure rating, and a recent November 2025 inspection round out the picture, strong staffing and quality numbers, with the abuse citation and turnover worth asking about directly.
Nurse staffing at Santa Rosa Post Acute runs 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 30.6%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stick around. The harder numbers are on the inspection side: 51 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, with a $10,166 fine and a 2-star health inspection rating. That's a lot of findings against a recent September 2025 survey. Strong marks on quality measures and staffing don't erase a record like that.
Blue Oak Post-Acute runs 181 certified beds in Santa Rosa under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. Sixty-six deficiencies are on file, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and thirteen tied to abuse, a count that heavy usually reflects a building where problems recur between surveys rather than a single bad week, and the most recent inspection was November 2025. The staffing picture is genuinely mixed: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. What holds up better is retention, 18.5% turnover against a 45.8% national average means the people who do show up tend to stay.
Park View Post Acute runs on better-than-average staffing, 4.49 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, and its 30.1% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning you're more likely to see familiar faces than at the typical home. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. The caution is in the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, with a 2/5 inspection rating. A single $9,347 fine and a March 2026 inspection suggest the problems aren't purely historical.
Northvine Postacute Care is a 62-bed for-profit home in Santa Rosa, and the staffing numbers alone tell you something: 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends running about 5% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 47.5%, slightly above the national rate, so the people caring for residents keep changing. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with persistent problems, and its inspection record shows 76 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm level and 10 tied to abuse. Seven fines total $50,050. The last inspection was October 2024.
