How CCRC homes in Florida compare
This group set against every nursing home in Florida, from the current CMS release.
The Commons at Orlando Lutheran Towers runs a nonprofit shop with 168 beds, and the staffing numbers hold up: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 41.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters over time more than any single month's numbers. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. All three CMS star categories come in at 4 out of 5. The honest read: steady, well-staffed, no red flags, though the weekend drop and the deficiencies are worth asking about on a tour.
Westminster Suncoast runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% below, with weekends running roughly 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover is 35% against a national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections are the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on the current record, 3 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and the last survey was April 2024. That mix, solid quality and staffing stars, thinner inspection record, is what pulls the overall picture down.
Legacy Pointe At Ucf runs 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing comes with heavy churn: 71.3% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing most of that care are frequently new. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $26,685 in fines and a March 2026 inspection date that's still recent enough to be relevant. A nonprofit corporation owns the 48-bed home. Strong quality measure scores don't erase a 2-star inspection rating.
Gulf Coast Village runs a nonprofit shop with 85 beds in Cape Coral, and the raw nursing hours look good, 4.93 per resident per day, about 28% above the national average. Weekend staffing dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, well past the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a record with 21 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program and fined it three times, totaling $37,092. Its most recent inspection was 2026-05-07, so the picture is current rather than stale.
