Nurse hours

Staff turnover
37%

0

Fulton Gardens runs 116 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below what the home provides on weekdays. Staff turnover comes in at 36.6%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes manage. What stands out on the record is the 50 deficiencies, a high count, including 3 tied to abuse; none rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection is recent, dated May 2026.

Brookfield Healthcare Center

Staff turnover
36%
Serious cites
0

Brookfield Healthcare Center runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 36.4%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same aides month to month. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating and a December 2025 survey suggest the home has been correcting problems, but that one harm-level finding is the number to press them on directly.

The Tamalpais

0

The Tamalpais runs on a nonprofit model with 52 certified beds in Greenbrae, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.51 hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average. That's the number that drives its staffing star rating to the top of the scale. Turnover lands at 40%, a bit better than the national 45.8%, so caregivers are staying longer than is typical. The record isn't spotless: 14 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was September 2025. One thing worth asking about directly, weekend staffing drops about a third below weekday levels, so coverage on Saturdays and Sundays looks meaningfully thinner than during the week.

Canyon Springs Post-Acute

Nurse hours

Canyon Springs Post-Acute runs 199 certified beds in San Jose under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 4% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 31.6% against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here stick around longer than most, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The inspection record is where caution creeps in, 53 total deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent survey was May 2025, so that picture is fairly current.

Oakdale Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Oakdale, CA · Stanislaus County

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
51%
Serious cites
0

Oakdale Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on a hospital-district license with 115 certified beds, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national figure. That headcount comes with a catch: weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 51.4%, higher than the 45.8% national average, so the faces around a resident change fairly often. The inspection record shows 33 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was in March 2025. Nothing here suggests danger; it reads more like a home getting the basics right while working through a long list of smaller problems.

Pacific Heights Transitional Care Center runs on 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday staffing. Staff turnover sits at 42%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The record shows 27 deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, along with one fine of $25,490, and the most recent inspection was March 13, 2026. This is a for-profit LLC with 120 certified beds and a 4-out-of-5 inspection rating. What stands out most is the combination of steady weekday coverage, no harm-level findings, and turnover that beats the norm.

Mission Carmichael Healthcare Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Mission Carmichael runs 135 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if your visits fall on a Saturday or Sunday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. Staff turnover comes in at 38.5%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national average; that kind of retention usually shows up in how well aides know the residents. The weight on the other side is the record: 53 deficiencies, 2 tied to abuse, and a 2/5 inspection rating. None of those deficiencies were cited at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was March 2025, recent enough to be worth reading in full before you decide.

Heritage Rehabilitation Center sits in Torrance with 161 certified beds, run by a for-profit LLC. The staffing numbers look strong on paper, 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 10% below weekdays, and turnover at 30.5% beats the national 45.8%. But the inspection record tells a different story: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 59 deficiencies on file, five at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $38,687 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was June 13, 2025. Good staffing can't offset that pattern of serious findings.

Walnut Creek Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Cent runs 180 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.47 hours per resident day, roughly 42% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover comes in at 32.1%, meaningfully below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes. The trade-off shows up in its record: 57 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, with a 3/5 health inspection rating against 4/5 for quality measures. Its last inspection was June 13, 2025.

Serious cites

The staffing numbers at George L Mee Memorial Hospital D/P SNF are the strongest part of the picture: 5.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 39% above the national average, which supports the four-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the home gets harder to read. Thirty deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation, and the two-star health inspection rating reflects that pattern. Ownership is nonprofit, and the last inspection was recent. Plenty of hands on staff; the regulatory history is the part to ask about directly.

Emmanuel Post Acute Care in Hayward runs 99 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 49.5%, higher than the 45.8% national average, and the inspection record shows 39 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. CMS gave it 2 out of 5 stars for health inspections but 5 out of 5 for quality measures, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. The pattern here is strong clinical scores offset by a thinner margin on safety and consistency.

North Park Post-Acute runs 99 certified beds in Tracy under limited-liability, for-profit ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover comes in at 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care are changing over fairly often. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy; none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Quality measures score well, and staffing holds up on paper, which is what keeps this home in decent territory despite the citation count.

East Los Angeles Doctors Hosp runs just 25 certified beds, which is small even by California standards, and the staffing number jumps out first: 8.37 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's more than double the typical home, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 14.6% while the national average is 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent visit was January 8, 2026. Corporate for-profit ownership, with quality and staffing marks a step below its inspection result.

Carmel Mountain Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center

San Diego, CA · San Diego County

Serious cites

Carmel Mountain runs 5.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 40% is a bit better than the typical 45.8%. That's the good news. The inspection record is where it gets harder: 53 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to cause harm, though none involve abuse. Health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5 stars. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below its own weekday levels, which matters if you're visiting on a Saturday. The quality measure score is perfect, but that's largely self-reported. With a for-profit LLC owner and a recent April 2025 inspection, the staffing numbers are real, the safety record is the open question.

American River Center

American River Center runs on 3.90 nurse hours per resident per day, just a hair above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs during the week. Staff turnover sits at 36%, notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The 24 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, but none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection came in April 2026. This is a for-profit limited liability operation in Carmichael, and the pattern here is a home that inspects well and keeps its workers longer than most, with the abuse citations and weekend staffing gap as the things worth asking about directly.

Crystal Creek Post-Acute runs 152 beds in Stockton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and its quality measure rating is strong at 4 out of 5. The trouble is the inspection record: 61 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Staffing and quality look reasonable; the enforcement history is what pulls this home down.

Courtyard Care Center sits in San Jose with 76 certified beds and an owner that's a for-profit limited liability company. Nurse staffing runs 4.21 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekends fall roughly 10% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover of 37.8% is better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the real question mark: 41 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on January 31, 2025. Staffing looks solid on paper; the citation history is what a family should ask about directly.

San Juan Hills Healthcare Center runs 45 certified beds in San Juan Capistrano under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the strongest thing it has going: 5.08 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 36.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of the workforce leaving each year. The current record shows 64 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations. Inspectors were last on site January 22, 2026, so the picture is recent.

Gridley Post Acute runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 10 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 39.3 percent, lower than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. It's a for-profit LLC with 82 beds in Butte County, rated 5 stars on health inspections and 4 on both quality measures and staffing. The weak spots are the weekend staffing drop and the sheer count of deficiencies, even minor ones.

Chinese Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs a tight 23-bed operation, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent above the national average. Weekends dip about 9 percent from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The current record carries 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related, enough to warrant a direct question about what happened and what changed. Inspectors were last in on February 26, 2026, and the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5. As a nonprofit, this home answers to a mission rather than shareholders, which tends to show in how it staffs.
