What the public record shows
If you are looking into Broadway Villa Post Acute in Sonoma, whether a loved one lives there now or you are considering it, the public record is worth reading before you decide. It includes 6 citations in the state's two most serious classes, class A and class AA.
Here is what the record shows for this facility, drawn from CMS Care Compare and the California Department of Public Health:
- CMS overall rating: 5 of 5 stars. The health inspection rating, the most independent of the three categories, is 3 of 5. A high overall score can rest on self-reported quality measures while the inspection score, which comes from in-person surveys, sits lower.
- California state citations: 25 on record, including 6 class A and 19 class B, with $120,284 in assessed penalties.
- Staffing: 3.99 nursing hours per resident per day; registered nurse turnover 33.3%.
- Most recent standard inspection: 2 deficiencies cited on April 10, 2026. The most recent inspection since then was on July 2, 2026: 2 deficiencies cited in the complaint inspection.
- Federal enforcement: no federal fines on record in the reported period.
- Ownership: Ensign Sonoma LLC, for-profit, part of The Ensign Group (342 facilities nationally).
Broadway Villa Post Acute ratings and staffing
Broadway Villa Post Acute is located at 1250 Broadway in Sonoma, Sonoma County. It is a for-profit facility operated by Ensign Sonoma LLC, part of The Ensign Group, with 144 certified beds and an average of 137.1 residents a day. It accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
CMS rates every certified nursing home in three separate categories, and the overall star is a blend of them:
- Health inspections, based on what state surveyors observe in person during unannounced visits. Weight this one most heavily, because it does not rely on data the facility reports about itself.
- Staffing, drawn from payroll-based records of how much nursing time each resident actually receives.
- Quality measures, built largely from data the facility submits. Read a high score here with more caution than the other two.
For Broadway Villa Post Acute, those scores are: health inspections 3 of 5, staffing 5 of 5, quality measures 5 of 5.
Staffing. Broadway Villa Post Acute reports 3.99 total nursing hours per resident per day, of which 0.61 are registered nurse hours. Over the reporting year, 31.5% of the nursing staff left. Registered nurses supervise aides, catch medication errors before they reach a resident, and notice when a person's condition is changing. Staffing is the single number that most reliably predicts whether a facility catches a problem early or lets it become a crisis.
How this home compares in the public record
CMS publishes each home's star rating and its payroll-based staffing hours, and it publishes the federal fines it has imposed. The county and California figures beside each number are the averages across those same published records.
These figures are taken from public CMS Care Compare records as of August 2026 (the August 2026 release) and public CDPH records as of June 2024 (the state enforcement dataset of August 27, 2024). They are reported as published and are not a recommendation, endorsement or assessment of any facility by this firm. How these figures were assembled.

A class AA citation is a class A violation that the Department of Public Health determined was a direct proximate cause of a resident's death. A class A citation is a violation the Department determined presented an imminent danger of death or serious harm to residents, or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result. A class B citation is a violation the Department determined had a direct or immediate relationship to residents' health, safety or security, other than a class AA or A violation.

What to do if you are worried about care at this facility
You will usually notice something is wrong before anyone official does, and you do not need proof before you act. If you are concerned about care at Broadway Villa Post Acute, you can take these steps:
Write down what you see. Note dates, times, and specific concerns, and photograph anything relevant. A clear, contemporaneous record matters if an investigation follows.
File a complaint with the California Department of Public Health. CDPH licenses and inspects skilled nursing facilities and investigates complaints, and a serious complaint can trigger an on-site inspection. You can file online through CDPH's Cal Health Find system, which routes your complaint to the Sonoma County licensing district office.
Contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. The ombudsman is a free advocate who will visit your loved one, look into your concerns, and press the facility on their behalf. Sonoma County's ombudsman program can be reached at (707) 526-4108. This is often the fastest first step when the issue is care quality rather than an emergency.

Under California's Elder Abuse Act (Welfare and Institutions Code sections 15600 to 15675), a family that proves, by clear and convincing evidence, that neglect was committed with recklessness, oppression, fraud or malice can recover remedies beyond an ordinary injury claim, including attorney's fees (section 15657).
