Solaris Healthcare Merritt Island

Solaris Healthcare Merritt Island runs 180 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the better story here: 38.8% against a national 45.8%, so this home holds onto its nurses better than most. The trade-off shows up in inspections. Twenty-two deficiencies on the current record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the last full inspection was August 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and health inspections are middling. A place with stable caregivers and a recent, mostly low-level citation history.

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.

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.
