Working at Valle Verde Health Facility

Valle Verde Health Facility is a 80-bed nursing home in Santa Barbara, California. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 20% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 925 California nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 37.7%, so Valle Verde Health Facility keeps its RNs better than 78% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 40 minutes of RN time per day, against 42 minutes across California. That is less RN coverage than most California nursing homes. CMS gives Valle Verde Health Facility a staffing rating of 5 out of 5.

Turnover for the whole nursing team, which counts RNs, LPNs and nurse aides, is 27.4% here compared with 36.5% statewide.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 80% of RNs counted here stayed through CMS's 12-month measurement period, so you would join a team with continuity.
  • RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.

Questions to ask in your interview

  • How many residents does each RN cover on the shift I would work?
  • How is weekend RN coverage handled?
  • What keeps your RNs here? Ask the nurses you meet, not only the manager.
