Pine Ridge Care Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
43%
Serious cites
0

Pine Ridge Care Center runs 101 certified beds in San Rafael, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. What complicates the picture is the inspection record, 44 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, despite 5/5 marks on staffing and quality measures. A single fine of $7,542 is on file, and the most recent inspection was December 5, 2025. For-profit partnership ownership.

Vale Healthcare Center runs 202 certified beds in San Pablo, and its staffing numbers are genuinely better than they look at first glance. Nurse coverage sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend hours only dip about 6% from weekday levels. Staff turnover is 33.9%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The catch is the inspection record: 50 deficiencies on file, including 6 tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was July 25, 2025. Quality measures score well; the survey history is where the concerns live.

Driftwood Healthcare Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes, 4.93 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and staff tend to stay, with turnover at 30.3% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage slips only slightly below weekday levels. The trouble sits on the inspection side: 39 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $24,666 and a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was August 2024, so the record is fairly recent. Quality measures score well, but the enforcement history is the part worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Serious cites

La Crescenta Healthcare Center runs a genuine staffing advantage: 4.38 nurse hours per resident day sits about 13% above the national average, and turnover at 34.4% is well below the 45.8% national figure. That consistency matters more than the raw hours, though weekend coverage does dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. The concern is the inspection record, 54 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with one fine of $17,122. The most recent inspection was May 2026, so the record is current. Strong daily staffing, a thinner safety and compliance picture.

Monterey Palms runs about 4.21 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 41% sits a little below the national figure of 45.8%. The trade-off shows up on weekends, when staffing drops about 7% below its own weekday level. Its inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was January 31, 2025. This is a for-profit limited liability company with 99 certified beds. The staffing and quality measure ratings both land at 4 and 5 out of 5, which is what's carrying the score despite the deficiency count.

Driftwood Healthcare Center in Santa Cruz carries 92 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Its total nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 6% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially matching the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where things get harder to ignore: 51 deficiencies on file, three of them serious enough to cause harm, plus one tied to abuse. Its most recent inspection was December 2025. Quality measures score well, but that paperwork record tells a more complicated story than the stars suggest.

Almaden runs on 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its weekend staffing only slips about 9% below weekdays, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 37.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff is the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2025. Ownership is a for-profit partnership. The staffing and quality scores are strong; the inspection history is the piece to ask about directly when you visit.

Fruitvale Healthcare Center runs 140 certified beds in Oakland under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.09 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage only about 5% below weekday levels. Turnover sits at 24% while the national figure is 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The inspection record is where it gets complicated. A five-star health inspection rating and a clean October 2024 visit sit alongside 25 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, plus 18 fines totaling $105,627. Ask what those abuse deficiencies involved and what changed afterward.

Santa Monica Health Care Center runs on 4.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 37.1% beats the national figure of 45.8%, real signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way. The last survey was April 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. For-profit partnership ownership and that deficiency count are what pull the grade down despite solid staffing.

Palm Springs Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 5.10 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips modestly, about 8% below weekday levels, while annual turnover of 41.2% comes in slightly under the national 45.8%. The current inspection record shows 31 deficiencies but none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in December 2024. Its CMS stars line up evenly across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, each at 4 out of 5.

Fremont Healthcare Center runs 115 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and the staffing numbers here are the real story: 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 36%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $12,051. The most recent inspection was November 2025. Quality measures score well and staffing is strong; the survey history is where a family should ask questions.

Autumn Hills runs a stable workforce by nursing home standards, 33.7% turnover against a national average near 46%, and nurse staffing of 4.34 hours per resident day sits about 13% above the national figure. Weekend coverage thins out roughly 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The trouble sits in inspections: 50 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. That's a lot of findings for a 92-bed home, and the 2-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects it. One fine totaling $14,387 has been levied. The last inspection was June 2025, so the record is recent.

Creekside Healthcare Center runs 80 certified beds in San Pablo under for-profit partnership ownership. The staffing numbers stand out: 5.13 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a third more hands-on care, though weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 38.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning more than a third of staff leaving in a year. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 21 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation on the record. The 4/5 health inspection and 5/5 staffing ratings carry the weight here; quality measures land at 3/5.

Village Square runs about 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, and weekend staffing only dips about 5% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 37.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around longer. The trade-off is a long paper trail: 42 deficiencies on the current record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. This is a for-profit partnership, and the numbers describe steady, adequately staffed care rather than a standout.

Hayward Hills is run by a for-profit partnership and holds 74 certified beds in Alameda County. Nurse staffing sits at 4.21 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if you're planning visits or asking who's on duty Saturday. The bigger number is turnover: 56.1% of staff leave within a year, against 45.8% nationally, which matters for whether your mother sees the same aides more than once. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars; inspections earned 3.

Skyline Healthcare Center in San Jose runs 253 beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing numbers look better than most: 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 38.9% compared to 45.8% nationally. That's the good news. The inspection record tells a different story, 91 deficiencies on file, including four tied to abuse and three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus a $105,089 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, so this isn't stale history. Staffing can be adequate and a building can still fail at the basics of protecting residents. Those abuse and harm-level findings are what tip this one down to a D.

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.
