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.
River Pointe Post-Acute is a 112-bed for-profit partnership in Carmichael, and the numbers tell a mixed story. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 looks good on paper, but staffing sits at 1 out of 5, the weakest possible, which is the number that shapes daily life for residents. The inspection record is harder to ignore: 54 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Fines total just under $10,000, and the last inspection was March 2026. Annual turnover runs 44.1%, slightly better than the national average. Ownership is for-profit partnership, and the combination of thin staffing with a long deficiency history is worth asking about directly before you decide.
North Bay Post Acute is a for-profit LLC operation with 98 certified beds in Petaluma, and its staffing numbers are actually a point in its favor: 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekdays, which is common but worth knowing if your family visits then. The bigger concern sits in its inspection record, 91 deficiencies, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $142,877. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating alongside those numbers is what's really driving the low overall picture here, despite decent quality and staffing scores.
Tarzana Health and Rehabilitation Center has 126 deficiencies on its current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. That's the number that matters most here, and it's why CMS has placed this for-profit, LLC-owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the worst inspection histories. Staffing looks decent on paper at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and turnover at 26.5% is well below the national 45.8%. But weekend coverage drops about 6% below weekday levels, and two fines totaling $95,254 sit on the record. The last inspection was June 5, 2025.
Live Oak Rehab Center runs 99 beds under corporate ownership in San Gabriel. The nurse staffing number looks decent on paper, 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, but weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 56.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain away: 86 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, eight abuse-related, one fine of $27,425, and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. Quality measures score well, but a recent April 2026 inspection means that history is current, not old.
Roseville Point runs 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 25% above the national average, and that staffing shows up as a 4-star rating. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so care thins out somewhat when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the picture darkens: 86 deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, with a 1-star health inspection rating and a 2-star quality measure score. State fines total $16,232 across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was October 2024. Corporate for-profit ownership, strong hours, troubling oversight history.
Double Tree Post Acute Care Center has 122 certified beds and runs on for-profit, limited-liability ownership in Sacramento. Nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and the 29.7% annual turnover is well below the national 45.8%, so people tend to stay. Weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is the harder read: 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, with one fine of $10,842. The most recent inspection was January 23, 2026, so the record is current.
Long Beach Care Center runs 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average of 3.86, but that staffing still only earns two stars from CMS, and weekend coverage dips roughly 4% below its own weekday levels. The real problem sits in its inspection record: 78 deficiencies, including 10 tied to abuse and 3 serious enough to put residents in harm's way, with $54,834 in fines across two cases. A recent September 2025 inspection doesn't erase that history. Quality measures look strong at four stars, yet strong numbers on paper can't outweigh a pattern this persistent.
Chestnut Ridge runs on 4.29 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 21.8% is roughly half the national rate, that kind of consistency usually shows up in daily care. But the inspection record is where the problems sit: 69 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $105,201. Weekend staffing also drops about 14% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the record is current. Good staffing numbers and a bad survey history can both be true at once.
La Brea Rehabilitation Center runs 141 beds in Los Angeles under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the strongest card it holds, 4.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.6% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so care thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concern sits: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 98 deficiencies on the current record, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 7 tied to abuse. One fine totaling $33,091 has been levied, and the last inspection was June 19, 2025.
University Park Healthcare Center has real staffing strengths: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 41.3%, lower than the typical 45.8%. Weekends dip roughly 7% below weekday coverage, but that's a modest gap. The problem isn't the floor staff, it's the record. Seventy-seven deficiencies, 8 involving actual harm or jeopardy, 13 tied to abuse, and $230,606 in fines across four actions. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 on quality measures tells you the clinical metrics look fine on paper while the survey history says otherwise. This for-profit, LLC-owned home was inspected as recently as April 2026.
Lassen Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes nationally, about 3.65 hours per resident day against an average near 3.86, and the drop-off on weekends is the bigger issue, with staffing roughly a fifth lower than its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 60%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and catch changes early. The home carries 57 deficiencies on its current record, five tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level, and its last inspection was in October 2024. A for-profit LLC operates the 96-bed building, and its inspection and quality scores both sit at two stars out of five.
Bayberry runs 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends dip about 14% below its own weekdays, so your visit timing may matter more than the annual number suggests. Staff turnover is 35.1%, better than the 45.8% national rate, which means more familiar faces than at many homes this size, though 23 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, are worth asking about directly. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is recent. This is a for-profit LLC with 99 beds.
Keystone Post-Acute runs 65 beds in Fresno under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers look better on paper than they hold up in practice. Total nurse hours sit slightly above the national average, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, that's when gaps tend to show. Turnover is 47.1%, a bit worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger issue: 48 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $42,764. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
Pacific Villa runs about 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its 36.7% turnover is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those numbers matter, but the inspection record is what stands out: 79 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and 16 abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $41,809. A last inspection in February 2026 means the record is current, not stale. That mix explains a C grade: decent daily care hours and steadier-than-average staffing, undercut by a long and serious enforcement history at a for-profit, individually owned home. Weekend coverage runs about 8% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about directly.
Golden Haven Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Glendale under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. The bigger problem is what inspectors have found: 73 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $74,602. That record produced a one-star health inspection rating, and staff turnover at 47.2% runs slightly above the national rate, so the people providing care keep changing. The most recent inspection was January 16, 2026.
Olympia Convalescent Hospital in Los Angeles runs 135 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 6% below its own weekday level, though, and turnover sits at 23.5%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively steady crew.
The trouble is on the inspection side. Forty-two deficiencies are on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Two of three CMS star ratings land at 2 out of 5, and a $8,278 fine is on file. The last inspection was May 2025. Good staffing alone doesn't offset that record.
Hampton Post Acute sits at 120 certified beds in Stockton, run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its nurse staffing comes in at 4.03 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. Turnover lands at 45.5%, essentially the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 133 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with $21,548 in fines and a one-star health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so that record is current, not stale.
Bridgeview Post Acute runs about 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 40.7% is better than the typical 45.8%. That's the good news. The problem sits on the inspection side: 67 deficiencies on the current record, including 8 tied to abuse and 4 serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, with two fines totaling $51,796. Weekend staffing also drops about 8% below its own weekday level, so the coverage families see on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Sunday. Inspectors were last in on January 9, 2026. Ask to see the plan of correction for those abuse deficiencies before you decide anything.
Bay View Rehabilitation Hospital runs 180 certified beds in Alameda, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, though weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. What stands out is retention: 21.6% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record is more of a mixed picture: 33 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $46,726 fine. Its most recent inspection was October 31, 2024, so that record is fairly current.
