Working at Westgate Gardens Care Center

Westgate Gardens Care Center is a 140-bed nursing home in Visalia, California. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 22.2% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 925 California nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 37.7%, so Westgate Gardens Care Center keeps its RNs better than 74% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells a different story. Residents here receive about 20 minutes of RN time per day, against 42 minutes across California. That is less RN coverage than most California nursing homes. CMS gives Westgate Gardens Care Center a staffing rating of 3 out of 5.

What this means if you apply here

  • About 78% 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.
