How for-profit homes in Palm Beach County, Florida compare
This group set against every nursing home in Palm Beach County, Florida, from the current CMS release.
Medicana runs on thin margins in a couple of ways, but nothing alarming. Its 3.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, a gap families should ask about directly. Turnover tells a better story: 35.6% versus 45.8% nationally means workers tend to stay longer here than at the average home. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. A for-profit corporation owns all 116 beds.
Legacy at Boca Raton runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than is typical. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related; the last survey was in August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results sit mid-range, which is what holds this home back from the top tier.
Colonial Skilled Nursing in West Palm Beach runs 30 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover lands at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. State inspectors logged 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $5,395 and a May 2025 inspection. The quality measure score is the strongest of its ratings; the health inspection score is the weakest.
Aviata At Greenacres runs 120 certified beds in Palm Beach County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.35 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.5% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the ranks. What pulls the record down is inspections, 28 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $139,171 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Palm Garden Of West Palm Beach runs 176 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.53 per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and there are no abuse-related deficiencies on record. But the current inspection history shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $16,153. The last inspection was April 18, 2024.
Palm Beach Nursing Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 3% thinner than weekdays. The current inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy; six fines total $44,771 against a last inspection date of January 8, 2026. Staff turnover of 32.4% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce is more stable than most. The quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5, but health inspection sits at 2 out of 5, a gap worth asking about directly.
Lake Worth Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 26 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with one fine of $26,685 and a most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality and staffing measure stars both come in at 4 out of 5, while health inspections sit at 2.
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.
Pine Trail runs on 3.28 nursing hours per resident per day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing doesn't drop off from its weekday level. The bigger concern is who's providing that care: 56.4% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record is the weakest part of the picture, 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $16,800 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was December 20, 2024. Quality measures score well, but that's the piece families can't verify themselves. The for-profit LLC ownership structure adds no context beyond what the numbers already show.
Glades Health Care Center runs 120 beds in Pahokee under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins slightly when families tend to visit. The current inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, the weakest part of the profile. What that means practically: adequate hands-on time, a survey history without serious harm findings, and some room to improve on clinical outcomes.
Avante At Lake Worth runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that relative stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $28,275. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025.
Royal Palm Beach Health and Rehabilitation runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends running about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.1% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single $4,156 fine. State inspectors last visited in May 2025.
Boca Circle Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 40%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $31,736 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; the survey history is where the problems concentrate.
West Delray runs 3.46 nursing hours per resident day, about ten percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly six percent below its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some steadiness in the workforce. The inspection record is the harder part: 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $39,841, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the day-to-day supervision the state cited.
The Luxe At Jupiter runs on a for-profit partnership model, and the numbers don't line up neatly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average and thinner on weekends, while half the staff turns over every year, worse than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are manageable problems compared to the inspection record: 51 deficiencies, four serious enough to endanger residents, three tied to abuse, and five fines adding up to $201,434. The most recent state visit was April 2025, so the findings are current, not stale history. Good marks on quality measures don't offset a pattern like that. If you're considering this one, ask specifically what changed since that inspection.
Westgate runs lean on nursing hours: 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar caregivers miss subtle changes. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, a single flag worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the gap shows.
Jupiter Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the sharper signal: 58.4% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers cycle through faster than most homes. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on July 10, 2025. Federal ratings split here, quality measures score well, staffing and inspections do not.
Staffing at Luxe At Wellington Rehabilitation Center lands right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, essentially a rounding difference from 3.86, but weekends dip about 8% below what the home runs on weekdays, so the coverage your family sees Monday may not be what shows up Saturday. The bigger issue is turnover: 59.2% of nursing staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn is hard to hide at the bedside. Thirty deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $58,835 fine and a September 2024 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong, but inspection and staffing scores don't match it.
Darcy Hall of Life Care runs 220 certified beds in West Palm Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing star and 27.2% turnover that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections, where it holds a 1/5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus a $30,924 fine and a January 2025 inspection. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide.
Aviata At West Palm Beach runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 6% leaner than its own weekdays. That gap shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, plus $33,790 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this is current, not stale history. Staff turnover of 36.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 1/5 inspection rating, worth asking what's behind that split.
