Palm Garden of Port Saint Lucie runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical Florida home, 3.62 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday pace, so families should ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the unit their relative lands on. The standout number is turnover: 23.7%, roughly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers notice changes sooner. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, and inspectors last visited in July 2024. A for-profit corporate owner, decent inspection history, five stars on quality measures.

Ardie R Copas State Veterans Nursing Home in Port Saint Lucie runs on 5.94 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides, and it holds a top federal staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 12 percent below its own weekday pace, but the floor stays high. Staff turnover is 35.6 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door than elsewhere. Inspectors visited in June 2025 and logged 14 deficiencies, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, though one was abuse-related. State-run ownership and a strong inspection record round out the picture.

Savannas Park runs on 4.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping about 8% below its own weekday level, so the coverage is real, but it thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 35.3% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is steadier than most. The record shows 25 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection came in August 2025. Quality measures score high; the health inspection side is more middle-of-the-road.

Life Care Center of Port Saint Lucie runs 123 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day. Turnover is a real bright spot: 37.6% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces than at the typical home. Weekends, though, run about 14% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. The inspection record is the weak spot, 33 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in January 2026. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where the questions live.

Tiffany Hall runs 120 beds in Port St. Lucie under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern sits, 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $46,976 fine and a February 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that paperwork record and below-average daily staffing are the real story.

Port St Lucie Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge comes with a caveat: weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover lands at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2024. Quality measures score low relative to staffing and inspections, which is worth asking about directly.
