Overview of Jacob Health Care Center

Utah Lake Holdings, LLC operates Jacob Health Care Center, a 40-bed nursing home located at 4075 54th Street in San Diego’s College area. Joseph Cruz serves as the administrator for the property, which has been in business for 29 years and currently runs at a 78 percent occupancy rate. Stays average 77 days, showing that the daily operation concentrates heavily on temporary post-hospital therapy and short-term recovery. For billing, the front desk manages room rates and clinical costs through private funds, traditional Medicare, and state Medicaid.

Residents receive roughly 3 hours and 17 minutes of direct attention every day from the on-site team of nurses and aides. This daily clinical schedule centers on short-term physical rehabilitation, sub-acute therapies, and complex wound care, while day-to-day amenities include outdoor courtyards, social activities, and an on-site barber salon. The surrounding neighborhood is only somewhat walkable, so visiting family members will typically need to drive when coming to the property.

Recent filings from government health inspectors flagged recurring issues here with medication management, staffing levels, infection control, and care plan documentation. Prospective residents can contact the front office to ask how the management team has addressed these specific compliance areas, request information on current bed availability, or arrange an afternoon to look around the therapy setups.

1 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Weekend RN is +76% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	57m per day	▲ 47% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	1h 22m per day	▲ 13% State avg: 1h 13m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 19m per day	▼ 13% State avg: 2h 39m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 23m per day	▲ 7% State avg: 4h 5m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	8m per day	▲ 51% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	53m per day	▲ 76% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day
