Fortuna Rehabilitation and Wellness Center runs 4.04 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and its weekend staffing dips about 5% below its own weekday levels. That's decent coverage on paper, good enough for four stars on staffing and five on quality measures, but the inspection record tells a different story: 68 deficiencies, nine of them at harm or jeopardy level, ten tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $117,116. A 1-star health inspection rating with a November 2025 survey means regulators have found serious, repeated problems here. For-profit partnership ownership and a recent inspection don't change that math.
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.
Studebaker Healthcare Center is a 99-bed for-profit in Norwalk, and the staffing numbers are the bright spot: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with weekend coverage about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 44.1%, basically in line with the national figure. The trouble sits on the inspection side. A one-star health inspection rating comes with 108 deficiencies on the current record, including nine tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level. One fine totaling $27,378 is on file, and the most recent inspection was February 2026. Strong hands-on care, weak compliance history, that's the tradeoff to weigh.
Northgate Postacute Care runs 52 certified beds in San Rafael under for-profit LLC ownership. Its total nurse staffing of 4.07 hours per resident day sits about 5% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, and turnover at 45.5% is essentially the national rate. The concerning part is the inspection record: 63 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus seven fines totaling $126,631. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, worth asking about directly before you decide.
Staffing at Hollywood Premier is genuinely better than most: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and turnover of 19.8% is less than half the national rate. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekdays, but that's a modest gap. The problem sits on the inspection side. The current record carries 81 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $17,342. The last inspection was in August 2025, so this is a recent picture, not old history. Good staffing can't offset that many serious findings, tour it, but ask hard questions about the abuse citations.
Sierra Vista runs 116 beds in Highland under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 2.46 hours per resident day, roughly 36% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday numbers, so coverage thins right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 29.5%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the people who work here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Its last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side of the record is where the friction sits.
Landmark Medical Center runs 95 beds in Pomona under corporate for-profit ownership, and its record splits in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 9 percent thinner than weekdays. What stands out is staff retention: 26 percent turnover against a national average near 46 percent, which suggests people stay here. The trouble is inspection history. CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars, with 54 deficiencies on the current record, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 12 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Low turnover is real, but it hasn't kept the care problems out of the building.
Meadowbrook runs on thin nursing coverage: 2.47 hours per resident per day, about a third below the national average, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday pace. Turnover sits at 31.9%, better than the national 45.8%, so the staff who are there tend to stay, but there are fewer of them. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 42 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse. That's a lot of serious findings for a 77-bed home, and it lines up with the 2/5 inspection rating despite strong quality measures and a recent April 2026 visit.
La Paz Geropsychiatric Center runs on 2.82 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the harder number: 69 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, and 11 tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 18.6% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. A 5/5 quality measure score sits alongside a 1/5 inspection score, a split worth asking about directly.
Crestwood runs on thin staffing: 2.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 24% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 31.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours are budgeted per resident in the first place. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, but 5 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last out in June 2025. The 5/5 quality measure score sits oddly against a 2/5 staffing rating, quality measures can look strong while daily coverage stays lean.
Garfield Neurobehavioral Center runs on unusually steady staffing for a for-profit home: 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating. Turnover sits at 13.2% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents mostly stay. The friction shows up in inspections. Seventeen deficiencies on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, pulled the health inspection rating down to 2/5 despite a recent August 2025 survey. Weekend coverage also dips about 9% below weekday levels. Solid, consistent staffing paired with a troubled inspection history is the tradeoff here.
Seneca District Hospital's skilled nursing unit is small, 16 beds, and it's run by the hospital district, not a chain. The staffing numbers genuinely stand out: 6.07 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and weekends only dip about 14% from weekday levels, which is better than many homes manage. Turnover, though, sits at 48.1%, slightly worse than average. And the inspection record is the real concern: 14 deficiencies on file, including 2 at the harm level and 3 tied to abuse, with one $11,408 fine. The last inspection was in December 2025. Strong daily coverage, but a recent survey history that warrants questions before you decide.
Valley View Care Center runs 53 beds in Delano under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing is genuinely above average: 4.60 nurse hours per resident day against a national norm of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, though, and turnover sits at 35.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, but still a third of the staff leaving each year. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 67 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and six tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. Staffing holds up reasonably well here; the survey history is the part worth pressing the administrator on.
Las Flores Convalescent Hospital has real staffing depth, 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and turnover at 31.7% beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. But the inspection record is where this home falls apart: 82 deficiencies on file, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $107,406. A 4-out-of-5 staffing rating next to a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating tells you the people are there but the systems around them aren't holding. Weekend coverage drops about 17% below weekday levels, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The most recent inspection was May 2026.
White Blossom Care Center runs 153 beds in San Jose under for-profit LLC ownership, and its headline staffing number, 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, sits only about 4% above the national average. That thin margin doesn't hold up on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 54.3% runs well past the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 49 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $97,997 in fines, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. Strong quality-measure scores don't offset a record that heavy.
Fidelity Health Care sits in El Monte with 90 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. What stands out first is the nursing staff: 4.19 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating from CMS. Turnover is the real bright spot, 14.3% a year, far below the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The concern is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 44 deficiencies on the current record, including four abuse-related citations, none at the harm level. The state inspected most recently in April 2025, so the record is current.
Greenhaven runs on a for-profit LLC structure with 148 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.25 hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels, and turnover is 33.7%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national rate. The trouble shows up in inspections: 71 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. That's a wide gap between how the place is staffed and how it's actually being run day to day. Strong quality scores don't cancel out a harm-level finding or nine abuse citations. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide anything.
Concord Post Acute runs 190 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely mixed. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average, while weekend staffing dips about 6% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. The real strength is retention: 28.4% turnover against a national 45.8% means far fewer unfamiliar faces than at most homes. The inspection record is the problem. Thirty-eight deficiencies, four tied to abuse and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent survey in April 2025. A 2/5 inspection rating against 4/5 for staffing and quality measures tells you where the trouble lives.
Noble Care Center runs 99 certified beds in Stockton under for-profit limited liability ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, small gaps that add up over time. What stands out more is the inspection record: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 88 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level and nine tied to abuse, with the last inspection in March 2025. Staff turnover at 32% is actually better than the 45.8% national average, but that's doing less work than it sounds given everything else. Worth asking hard questions before you decide.
Miracle Mile Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. But weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.4% against a national 45.8%, so that headline number doesn't hold steady across the week.
The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 110 deficiencies, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 9 tied to abuse. Four fines total $295,952. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the record is current. CMS rates health inspections 1 out of 5, staffing 2 out of 5, quality measures 3 out of 5.
