Staff turnover
43%

Hampton Court sits in North Miami Beach with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in April 2025, with nine deficiencies on file and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing runs 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 4% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover of 43.1% is slightly better than the national rate. The quality measures hold up well. The main thing to watch is consistency of hands-on care across the whole week.

Staff turnover
11%

Solaris Healthcare Imperial runs on remarkably steady staff for a nonprofit, 11.3% turnover against a national average near 46% means the people caring for your relative mostly stay. That matters more than raw hours, though the 3.53 daily nursing hours sit about 8% under the national figure, and weekends dip another 5%. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 19 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with a $29,738 fine and a two-star health inspection rating from CMS. Quality measures score five stars, staffing four. The last full inspection was November 2024, so the record is current. Consistency here is real; the compliance history is the question mark.

Cypress Village is a for-profit corporation running 100 certified beds in Jacksonville, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average. That said, weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The health inspection record is clean where it matters, seven deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Staff turnover of 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national average, though still means roughly two in five caregivers left within a year.

Page Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center has 180 certified beds and runs on about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 25.7%, well below the national 45.8%, that kind of retention is uncommon and worth noting. What complicates the picture is the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $213,138 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025. The staffing and quality measure ratings come in strong, but the health inspection side is where the trouble concentrates.

Life Care Center of Citrus County runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the team here is somewhat more stable than average. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly, even though the most recent inspection came recently, in February 2026.

Westminster Winter Park runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 80 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 5% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 25.6% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The tradeoff is on the health inspection side, where 18 deficiencies include one at the harm level and a $65,683 fine, and the most recent survey dates to October 2024. Quality measures and staffing both rate well; inspection history is the softer spot.

Astoria Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 132 certified beds in Winter Haven under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 4.20 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and the 40.6% annual turnover is lower than the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a steadier floor than many homes manage. Weekends dip roughly 8% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 26 deficiencies on the current record and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in March 2024.

The Lilac At Silver Palms runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday levels. That's the kind of gap families notice when a call button goes unanswered on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is mixed: 25 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $35,500 fine. Its last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; actual staffing and the harm-level finding are the things worth asking about directly.
