36 homes
in the state sit in the federal Special Focus programme.
River City Post Acute runs 178 beds in Carmichael under a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are thin: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover sits at 52.2%, notably higher than the 45.8% national figure, so the people doing the work keep changing. The current record shows 92 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, but 13 tied to abuse, and the last inspection was March 2026. Federal ratings land at one star for health inspections and two each for quality measures and staffing.
West Valley Post Acute sits in West Hills with 128 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers are genuinely better than most: 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and turnover of 22% is roughly half the national rate, a sign people stay. But weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, and the inspection record is where the trouble lives: 83 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level, five tied to abuse, and $71,200 in fines. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Strong daily staffing can't offset that kind of enforcement history.
New Vista runs a for-profit operation with 116 beds, and the nurse staffing number looks good on paper: 5.18 hours per resident day, about a third above the national average. The catch is who's delivering that care. Turnover sits at 68.6%, roughly half again the national rate, so the people at the bedside keep changing, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level.
The inspection record is the harder problem: 124 deficiencies on file, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, nine tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling over $52,000. A five-star quality measure score sits alongside a one-star inspection rating. The most recent look came in February 2026.
Rocky Point Care Center runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average of 3.86, and its 41.8% turnover is a touch better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are real positives, and the staffing star reflects them. The trouble sits on the health inspection side: 40 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 13, 2026. Weekend staffing drops about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. The quality measure star is strong, but quality measures are self-reported. The inspection record is the part worth asking about directly.
Newport Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 59 certified beds in Newport Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays, that gap is worth asking about directly. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, a category that deserves a specific question about what happened and what changed. The most recent inspection was December 10, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection history are where the real questions live.
Inglewood Health Care Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping about 5% below its own weekday level. Turnover is 34.3%, better than the national 45.8%, so the same faces are more likely to stay. The trouble sits in the inspection record: 81 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus $27,356 in fines and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, even though quality measures scored 5 out of 5. The most recent inspection was December 5, 2025.
South Coast Post Acute runs 255 beds in Santa Ana under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 23.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people who are there tend to stay. The tradeoff is a long record: 92 deficiencies, including 8 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A February 2025 inspection is recent, and the 2/5 health inspection rating reflects what surveyors found.
Oakwood Healthcare Center sits at 99 certified beds in Chico, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing numbers look decent on paper, 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% above the national average, but weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so the care you get depends on when you visit. The real trouble is the inspection record: 101 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $76,946. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating with a recent August 2025 survey tells you regulators keep finding problems. Good staffing hours alone don't offset that pattern.
Delta Oaks Post Acute runs 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage drops about 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 44.6%, close to the national 45.8%. The problem isn't staffing on paper, it's the inspection record. This for-profit LLC home carries 111 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey as recent as October 2025. High nurse hours don't offset that pattern. If you're considering this one, ask specifically what changed since the last inspection.
Westview Healthcare Center runs 205 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest help. Turnover is 38.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew that's there tends to stay.
The harder number is 73 deficiencies on the current record, nine of them abuse-related, with no harm-level citations. Inspectors were last in on March 21, 2025. Quality measures score 5/5, but the 2/5 inspection rating tells you the paperwork and the bedside don't always match.
Arden Park Post Acute runs 177 certified beds in Sacramento under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 8% leaner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 34.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning this home holds onto nurses better than most. The inspection record is the concern. Sixty-three deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and nine abuse-related, with two fines totaling $33,586 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5, though quality measures score 5 out of 5. The last inspection was March 19, 2026.
Roseville Care Center runs 210 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, and turnover is 37.6%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. Where the picture darkens is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 48 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 tied to abuse. None reached the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was June 27, 2025. Strong quality measure scores and solid staffing numbers sit alongside a compliance record that deserves a closer look before you decide.
Magnolia Post Acute Care runs 99 beds in El Cajon under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.89 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide, with weekend coverage dropping roughly 13% below its own weekday numbers. Turnover of 37.5% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the workforce is more stable than most. The concern is the inspection record: 33 deficiencies, including 8 abuse-related citations and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single $117,475 fine. A recent August 2025 inspection and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating suggest the care problems are current, not historical.
Harvest Crossing runs 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 10 percent below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 39.7 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer than at many homes. The concern is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. That combination, decent staffing, a long and partly serious deficiency history, is what holds this for-profit limited liability company home back.
Courtyard Health Care Center runs on better-than-average staffing: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national figure, with turnover at 39.2% compared to the 45.8% norm. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, which is worth knowing if you visit on Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in its inspection record, 65 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and ten tied to abuse, against a one-star health inspection rating. That's a serious paper trail, and the state was last in the building in April 2025. Strong staffing and strong quality measures don't erase what inspectors found.
Bridgewood Post Acute runs on solid staffing for a 49-bed home, 4.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 20% above the national average, and its 29.6% turnover is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends dip roughly 9% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then.
The concern sits with inspections. Fifty-three deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, drove a 2-star health inspection rating from CMS despite a 5-star quality measure score. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is recent. For-profit individual ownership. Ask to see the plan of correction for the abuse-related findings before deciding.
North Long Beach Post Acute runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just above the national average, 3.93 nurse hours per resident day versus 3.86 nationally, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bigger issue: 51.4% of staff leave annually, against a 45.8% national rate, which means the people caring for your family member are often new. The inspection record is where this home struggles most, with 86 deficiencies on file, including 4 at harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $69,421. The most recent inspection was June 26, 2025, so that record is current.
Sunland Post Acute has the staffing most families hope for: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 44.1 percent, slightly better than the national 45.8. The problem sits elsewhere. The health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 115 deficiencies on the current record, including 5 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $240,281, serious money, serious findings. A 4-out-of-5 quality measure score can look reassuring, but that rating draws on self-reported data. Staffing alone can't offset a record like this, and the most recent inspection, in December 2025, kept those concerns current.
Infinity Care of East Los Angeles runs 99 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 5% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage shows up in the government's own ratings: one star for staffing and one star for health inspections, even as its quality measures score five stars. The inspection record is the harder read: 76 deficiencies, four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, 11 tied to abuse, and $65,817 in fines. The most recent inspection was June 12, 2025, so the record is current, not stale. For a family weighing this one, the staffing numbers and the abuse-related findings are what matter most.
Autumn Creek Post Acute has 184 beds in Chico and runs on a for-profit, limited-liability setup. The raw staffing number looks fine on paper, about 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, but weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday level, and staffing stars land mid-range at 3 out of 5. The inspection record is where it gets serious: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 89 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level, and 13 tied to abuse. Two fines total $148,521, with the most recent inspection in February 2025.
