Brighton Care Center runs 99 beds in Pasadena under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average of 3.86. That's the good news. Weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover is 50.5% against a national 45.8%, so the coverage you see on paper isn't always the coverage your family member gets. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 73 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5. A recent inspection date doesn't erase that history, ask directly what changed.

Memorial Hospital Of Gardena's skilled nursing unit runs on unusually heavy staffing, 9.05 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national figure of 3.86. That number deserves context, though: weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, and 57.1% of staff turned over in the past year, well above the 45.8% national rate. The current record shows 33 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $12,831. Federal ratings put inspections and quality measures at 4 out of 5 stars each, with staffing at 3 despite the raw hours. A nonprofit corporation operates the 69-bed home, and its last inspection was April 2026.

Sunnyvale Gardens runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits basically at the national average, 3.88 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, but weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the care you'd see on a Saturday looks thinner than the weekday picture. Turnover is 47.7%, a bit above the 45.8% national mark, which means a lot of new faces cycling through. What stands out more is the inspection record: 54 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $43,176 fine and a 2-star health inspection rating, though quality measures score 5 stars.

Foothill Regional's most recent inspection, in February 2026, turned up no deficiencies serious enough to harm a resident, that's a real point in its favor. But the 54 deficiencies on the current record, including three tied to abuse, add up over time, and for a small 42-bed unit, that's a lot of paperwork to accumulate. The ownership is a for-profit corporation, which tends to mean tighter staffing margins, so it's worth asking what the direct-care hours actually look like per resident. A four-star inspection rating tells you the last survey went reasonably well; the long record tells you the home has had plenty of chances to get written up. Ask about turnover and who's on the floor at night.

Villa Del Rio Gardens is a for-profit, corporate-owned home with 84 certified beds in Bell Gardens. The staffing number is the one to pay attention to: CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars for staffing, and that's the weakest area by far, since the average California home tends to run closer to 3. Inspections land at 3 out of 5, with 28 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. The last inspection was February 2022, so the record you're reading is more than three years old and may not reflect who's working there now. Ask about current direct-care hours per resident before you visit.

Intercommunity Care Center is a 147-bed nonprofit home in Long Beach where the numbers pull in two directions. Staffing sits just under the national average, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, but that same workforce stays put far longer than most, with turnover of 33% compared to 45.8% nationally, and weekends shed only a little more coverage than weekdays. What should give you pause is the inspection record: 79 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, 13 tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $156,035, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. Federal quality and inspection ratings both sit at the bottom of the scale.

Colusa Medical Center's skilled nursing unit is tiny, just six certified beds, and it runs on a for-profit limited liability company structure. The staffing picture is unusual: total nurse hours come in at 4.03 per resident day, slightly above the national average, and weekends hold steady rather than dropping off, which is rare. But federal inspectors rate the staffing level itself at just one star, meaning the hours, while present, don't satisfy CMS benchmarks for what this resident population needs. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, where the home holds a five-star rating with 14 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and one fine of $4,558. Its most recent inspection was in April 2025.

Bethel Lutheran Home runs 3.81 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin margin matters more when turnover sits at 52.5% against a national 45.8%, more than half the nursing staff turning over in a year makes consistent weekend coverage hard to hold. The 41 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was December 2025, so the record is current. This is a small nonprofit home with no serious safety findings, but staffing and quality measures both score low, and the turnover number is the one to ask about directly.

Coral Cove Post Acute runs 117 beds in Long Beach under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing is genuinely higher than most: 5.38 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level. The problem is everything else. The current inspection record carries 120 deficiencies, 7 of them at the harm or jeopardy level and 15 tied to abuse. Three fines total $118,978. Health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved and who manages weekend coverage.

Brighton Place San Diego runs 99 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its health inspection record is the main thing to know: 53 deficiencies on the current record, including two abuse-related citations. None reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is recent. Staffing looks solid at first glance, 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, but the numbers sag on weekends, running about 7% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS rates staffing at just one out of five stars. Total nurse hours can clear the national bar while the distribution still leaves gaps.

Staffing at Camellia Gardens looks strong on paper, 5.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, but the numbers behind that figure are mixed. Weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, and CMS gives the home just one star for staffing, which suggests the hours aren't reaching residents the way the total implies. The inspection record is heavier than you'd want: 59 deficiencies, four tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and the single fine on file is small at $1,747. This for-profit LLC was last inspected in April 2026, which is recent. Ask about weekend coverage and those abuse-related citations before deciding.

Pacifica Hospital of the Valley's skilled nursing unit has a staffing problem you should weigh heavily. Its CMS staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the health inspection rating is also 1, the lowest possible, despite the quality measure score of 4, which reflects clinical data like hospitalizations and medication management rather than day-to-day care on the floor. The inspection record shows 51 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $60,373 fine, all from a February 2026 survey. This is an individual for-profit operator, which in California often means thinner staffing budgets. Ask directly how many CNAs are on the floor at night before you decide.

Alameda Healthcare & Wellness Center runs 166 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.75 hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level. The problem isn't the hours on the floor; it's the record. That staffing advantage hasn't translated into a clean inspection history: 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $8,990 fine and a 2/5 inspection rating. The last survey was August 2024, so the current picture is reasonably fresh. Stronger staffing than most, but the compliance record is doing the damage.

Madera Rehabilitation & Nursing Center runs 176 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the number that should worry you most: 71 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and 5 tied to abuse. Fines total $373,733 across three penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 7% thinner than weekdays, and turnover at 45.5% is essentially the national norm. The 4/5 quality measure score looks good on paper, but inspections and staffing are where the day-to-day reality shows. The last inspection was August 2025.

Garden City Healthcare Center has 104 beds and runs on a for-profit limited liability structure. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national figure of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 62.8% against a national 45.8%, that churn matters more than the small staffing edge. The inspection record is where things get serious: 60 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus $35,153 in fines across 3 penalties. The last inspection was February 12, 2026, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5.

Intercommunity Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 86 beds in Norwalk under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing comes in at 5.04 hours per resident day, roughly 30 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's the strongest number here. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 42.1 percent, a bit under the national 45.8 percent. The inspection record is where it gets harder to read: 46 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing a single $20,654 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so it's current. Staffing looks good on paper; the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.

Capistrano Beach Care Center sits on 93 certified beds in Dana Point, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its total nurse staffing of 4.10 hours per resident day runs about 6% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday level, but CMS still scores staffing at just 1 out of 5 stars, with annual turnover at 45.4%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%. The 83 deficiencies on the current record include three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level; the most recent inspection was November 19, 2025. Quality measures earn 4 stars, inspections only 2.

Nurse staffing at this Newhall home runs about 9% above the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 9% below its own weekday level, not a dramatic drop. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the national 45.8%. The trouble is on the inspection side. The current record carries 91 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and four tied to abuse. Three fines total $118,170, and the last full inspection was February 2025. Quality measures score well, and staffing holds up, but a record with that many citations, especially the harm and abuse findings, is the number a family should weigh hardest here.

Villa Las Palmas runs 151 beds in El Cajon under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average, 3.73 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below weekdays. The tradeoff is retention: 33.1% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, so the faces here tend to stick around longer than at a typical home. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 47 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus four abuse-related citations and $33,732 in fines. The last inspection was May 2025, so this is current.

Broadway By The Sea runs on a for-profit LLC out of Long Beach, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 4.31 hours per resident day, about 12% above the national average, but weekends dip roughly 13% below weekdays, and turnover runs 53.6% against a national 45.8%, so the hours are there on paper, the consistency isn't. The inspection record is the real problem: 79 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, nine abuse-related, and $205,642 in fines across five events, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Strong quality scores don't offset that paper trail.
