Bay Village Of Sarasota runs on a nonprofit model with 95 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.98 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly consistent. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2024. Resident outcomes look solid, with a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 out of 5 on staffing, while health inspections land at 3. The picture is a well-staffed home with a clean harm record but a blemish worth asking about directly.

Chatsworth At Pga National runs 4.01 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, a bit above the 3.86 national average, and weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if you're planning visits or admissions around weekends. Staff turnover sits at 20%, well under the 45.8% national rate, so the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. The current record shows 4 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025 and a 5-star health inspection rating. Its quality measure score is only 3 stars, so clinical outcomes don't match the strong inspection and staffing marks.

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.

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.

Willowbrooke Court At Azalea Trace is a small nonprofit home, 24 certified beds, and its inspection record is about as clean as it gets: zero deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in August 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 25% is well below the 45.8% typical nationwide, which suggests people tend to stay. The trade-off shows up in the quality measures, where the home scores 2 out of 5, and weekend staffing dips roughly 15% below its own weekday levels.

The Waterford in Juno Beach runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection came in February 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the place operates now. Staffing sits at 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. What offsets that is stability: turnover is 23.3%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Consistent caregivers and a clean harm record matter more here than the raw staffing number.

Edgewater At Waterman Village runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are a real strength: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. Retention is better than most too, 40.4% turnover against a national 45.8%. The catch is consistency. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. That combination, solid staffing, no serious safety findings, but a middling inspection history, explains why this lands as a solid B rather than something higher.

Westminster Towers is a 120-bed nonprofit in Orlando, and its numbers pull in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, but the inspection record is where families should focus: 22 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with two fines totaling just over $22,000. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, running roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level. The last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current.

East Ridge runs a tight operation on the clinical side: quality measures come in at the top of CMS's five-star scale, and the staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at four stars. Nurse hours per resident day land at 3.83, roughly in line with the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $8,788. Staff turnover of 43.2% is slightly better than the national rate, which matters for continuity of care.

The Manor at Carpenters runs on a nonprofit model with 3.71 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday staffing. That's the gap to watch, since 15 deficiencies sit on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $24,252. Turnover at 41.3% is better than the 45.8% national rate, and its last inspection was January 2024. The four-star marks across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with what the numbers show: solid on most measures, with real room to tighten weekend coverage.

Larsen Health Center runs 5.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average, and weekends dip only about 7% below its own weekday levels, so the coverage is real, not just a weekday story. Turnover sits at 44.2%, essentially at the national rate. The caution is on the inspection side: 16 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and two abuse-related, with one fine of $32,139 and a survey completed in May 2025. The staffing is the strength; the quality measure score of 2 out of 5 and those harm-level findings are what a family should ask about directly.

The Nursing Center at La Posada runs 40 certified beds in Palm Beach Gardens under for-profit individual ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers are the stronger part of that story. Inspections turned up 9 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit on October 30, 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at 3 out of 5.

Lake Port Square runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, so daily coverage in Leesburg looks adequate on paper. The catch is consistency: weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, and staff turnover sits at 51.2%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure. The 28 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, that matters, but a state inspection in June 2026 means findings are recent, not dated. For-profit LLC ownership and three-out-of-five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a home that's neither failing nor standing out.

Freedom Square runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Its 18 deficiencies include one at the harm level, though none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was February 2024. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national average, so this is a corporate-owned home with real staffing depth but a middling inspection record.

Lakeview Terrace runs on unusually deep staffing for a 40-bed nonprofit home in Altoona, 7.48 nurse hours per resident day, nearly double the national figure, with weekend coverage dipping only about 12% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 27.6% against a 45.8% national average, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. The catch is inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 12 deficiencies on record, though none involved harm or abuse, and the most recent survey came in October 2025. Quality and staffing both score 5 out of 5. So you're looking at a well-staffed, well-liked-by-measures home with paperwork and process problems that haven't hurt anyone yet.

Plymouth Harbor is a nonprofit home in Sarasota with 56 beds, and its nurse staffing runs about 5.31 hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average, which helps explain the solid inspection and quality scores. A recent inspection in March 2025 turned up five deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related, so it's worth asking about directly. The bigger concern is staff turnover: nearly 72% annually versus about 46% nationally, meaning the people caring for residents change often. That churn can undercut even good staffing numbers. Weekend coverage also dips slightly below weekday levels.

Blue Palms runs 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national figure, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 51.9%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new. Inspections tell a harder story: 37 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $16,801 in fines. The five-star quality measure score reflects good clinical numbers on paper, but with a two-star inspection history and a 2024 inspection date, ask direct questions about who's on the floor nights and weekends.

Palms At Sebring runs 120 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the weakest part of the picture, 32 deficiencies on file and a one-star health inspection rating, though none of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 52.1%, well above the national 45.8%, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The quality measure rating of four stars suggests the clinical numbers they report look better than the inspection and staffing story. Last inspection: February 2025.

Westwood passed its most recent inspection in April 2025 with only three deficiencies on the books, none of them serious enough to harm a resident. That clean record is the strongest thing going for this 60-bed for-profit home. The problem is staffing: CMS rates it 1 out of 5 stars, well below what most Florida nursing homes post, and that's with a quality measure score sitting in the middle. Fewer aides and nurses on the floor means slower answers to call lights and less help at meals, which matters more as residents get frailer. A good inspection tells you the building is run lawfully. It doesn't tell you whether someone will come when your mother presses the button.

Brookdale Palmer Ranch sits in Sarasota with 60 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing number looks fine on paper, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but that average hides a lot. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover runs 67.2% against a national norm of 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member are likely to keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $59,696 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was August 2024.
