Nursing Home Watchlist: California

Homes where the federal record contains at least one of the following: a CMS abuse icon, Special Focus Facility status or candidacy, or a citation scored at actual harm or immediate jeopardy. Ordered with Special Focus homes first.

Read this as a prompt, not a verdict. A citation can be years old and the management responsible may have gone. It means you ask what happened and what changed, and you get a specific answer before you sign anything.

California Post-Acute Care in Lynwood carries one of the heaviest deficiency records you'll see: 144 total, including 11 tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in immediate harm's way. Every CMS rating category lands at one star, inspections, quality measures, staffing, so there's no strong area offsetting the weak ones. Being named a Special Focus Facility means federal regulators have singled this home out for closer monitoring, a step they reserve for the worst performers. The last inspection was in May 2026, and a $33,120 fine is on record. With 130 beds, that's a lot of residents in a building the government is actively watching.

Bay Crest Care Center is an 80-bed for-profit home in Torrance, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but it drops roughly 8% on weekends, so care can thin out exactly when families tend to show up. Staff turnover of 56.4% runs well above the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. On the inspection side, CMS counts 124 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, with four fines totaling $124,336. The home is currently in CMS's Special Focus Facility program.

Rancho Seco Care Center has a staffing edge on paper, 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekends run about 10% thinner than its own weekdays, so the coverage a family sees on a Tuesday isn't what they get on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 43.7%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in who's actually on the floor. What overrides all of that is the record: 72 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 16 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $490,205 and placement in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. The most recent inspection was January 8, 2026.

CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.

Griffith Park Healthcare Center runs 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and its 42.9% turnover is slightly better than typical. But weekend staffing drops about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The bigger issue sits in the inspection record: 96 deficiencies currently on file, including 10 abuse-related citations and 3 at the harm or jeopardy level, with $63,605 in fines across three penalties. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating alongside a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical scores look better than the day-to-day compliance picture.

What outweighs all of that is the inspection record: 142 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, twelve abuse-related, two fines totaling $31,803, and a current place in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, with the last inspection in March 2026.

Turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure. The problem is everything else. That staffing hasn't translated into safe care, 197 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $204,818.

Riverside Postacute Care holds 188 certified beds and runs on nurse staffing that lands at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially even with the national average, not above it in any meaningful way, and weekends dip about 4% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The bigger issue is who stays: annual turnover hits 61.3% against a national 45.8%, so a large share of the people providing care are new to the building. That instability shows up in the record: 170 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 15 tied to abuse, and $76,211 in CMS fines. Federal regulators have placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.

A one-star inspection rating, 145 deficiencies on record including 12 at the harm or jeopardy level and 17 tied to abuse, and $469,538 in fines across eight penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.

Staff turnover is 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record carries 82 deficiencies, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $114,270. The most recent inspection was August 1, 2025, so the picture is current. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company.

Turnover sits at 63.4 percent against a national 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for your relative were hired within the past year. The record shows 195 deficiencies, 16 of them serious enough to endanger residents, 18 tied to abuse, and eight fines totaling $411,481. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor care.

That staffing comes with churn, 52.2% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure, and it thins out on weekends, dropping about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is where the real weight sits. Eighty-seven deficiencies are on file, nine of them at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, drawing five fines totaling $214,020.

That's a workforce that mostly stays put, and it shows up in the quality measure rating. The inspection record tells a different story. CMS has this for-profit, 181-bed home in its Special Focus Facility program, the designation reserved for the most persistently troubled homes, with 108 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse.

Two fines total $90,488, and the most recent inspection was November 2025. For-profit, individually owned, with a one-star health inspection rating against a four-star staffing score.

The inspection record is the real concern, 81 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, plus a $59,794 fine and a one-star health inspection rating.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sherwood Oaks Post Acute sits in Thousand Oaks with 99 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The nursing hours tell a decent story on paper, 4.27 per resident day, roughly 11 percent above the national average, but weekends dip about 11 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Staff turnover runs 30.4 percent, noticeably better than the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for familiarity with residents. Inspectors gave a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating at the most recent visit in February 2025, with 49 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related.

Gordon Lane Care Center runs on 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 26% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a real plus for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection history: 101 deficiencies on record, five of them abuse-related, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5. Weekend staffing drops about 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how coverage looks on Saturdays and Sundays. The last inspection was August 2025.

Lawndale Healthcare & Wellness Centre runs 59 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.73 hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent above the national average of 3.86. That's real coverage on paper. But weekends drop about 14 percent below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday numbers don't tell the whole story. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 68 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $62,004. A 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating against 4-out-of-5 marks for staffing and quality measures is a wide gap, and with the last inspection dated January 2026, the record is recent. Ask about those 14 abuse-related deficiencies directly before you visit.

Abuse icon on record

San Marino Healthcare Center runs on 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, and its staff retention is unusually strong, turnover of 25.5% against a national average near 46%. Weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. The inspection record is the weak spot: 45 deficiencies, 5 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. Quality measures score well and staffing holds up, but the compliance history is heavy for a 59-bed for-profit home.

Pasadena Nursing Center runs 52 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its nurse staffing averages 4.73 hours per resident day, about 22% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real strength, though weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 60.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern lives: 82 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, and 11 abuse-related, drawing three fines totaling $23,160. Its most recent inspection was in April 2026. High bedside hours paired with heavy turnover and that deficiency history is a mixed picture, worth asking about staff retention and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
