Village On The Isle runs 48 certified beds in Venice, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly about people, not paperwork. Nurse staffing sits at 5.74 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average, and turnover is 9.7% against a national 45.8%, that stability matters more than any single inspection finding. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekdays, which is worth asking about directly. Three deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2024. It's a for-profit corporate home, but the staffing and retention figures don't read like one.

Edward J Healey is county-owned, and that shows up in how it's run: nurse staffing runs 5.56 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 6.4% while the typical American nursing home churns through nearly half its staff each year. Just two deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection closed out in December 2024. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The low turnover matters most here, steady, familiar aides usually mean better day-to-day care than any scoreboard can capture.

The Lodge at Cypress Cove runs 5.72 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and its weekend staffing only dips about 11 percent below weekday levels, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover sits at 21.2 percent against a national average of 45.8, meaning most of the people caring for residents here tend to stick around. Five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection completed in September 2025. As a nonprofit with 64 certified beds, it's small enough that consistency is easier to hold onto, and the numbers suggest it does.

Glenridge on Palmer Ranch runs about 5.05 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86, and its weekend coverage dips only slightly below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 18.5 percent against a national average near 46 percent, people tend to stay here. The current record shows no deficiencies at all, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection dates to April 2024. As a nonprofit with 61 beds, it's small enough to know its residents. The three CMS star ratings all come in at the top mark.

Villa Maria West runs on a nonprofit, church-affiliated model, and the numbers back up what that structure often buys: nurses deliver 5.23 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and staff turnover sits at 25% against a national figure near 46%. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, but none involve harm or jeopardy, and none are abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count. The last inspection was recent, in September 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about directly if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays.

Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Extended Care runs 8.75 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only slightly from its weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 28 percent, well under the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters for residents who need the same faces showing up. Its record shows two deficiencies, neither involving harm or abuse, plus one fine of $8,018, and the last inspection was in January 2024. The nonprofit hospital affiliation and 5/5 ratings across inspections, quality measures, and staffing all point the same direction: this is about as steady as nursing home numbers get.

Sunnyside runs on church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, and the numbers show what that stability buys. Nurse staffing sits at 5.16 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 11% below weekdays, so care doesn't quietly thin out when families visit on Saturdays. Staff turnover of 23.1% is about half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Four deficiencies on record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with an inspection in May 2025. For 60 beds, that's a tight, well-tended operation.

River Garden Hebrew Home runs about 4.68 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, a modest drop, not a cliff. Annual turnover sits at 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. On its current record it carries just two deficiencies, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its most recent inspection was in late October 2024. As a nonprofit with 180 certified beds, this home pairs strong staffing and a clean inspection history with quality measures that land a notch below its other scores.

John Knox Village of Pompano Beach runs on unusually deep staffing for a 194-bed nonprofit: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 6% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 25.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stay. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 3 out of 5 stars, 14 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy, and the most recent survey was in July 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. Strong staffing and steady retention are doing a lot of work here; the survey history is the part worth asking about directly.

Chateau At Moorings Park runs on a nonprofit model with staffing that's hard to argue with: 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and turnover of just 10.9% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. The trade-off is a small weekend dip, about 12% below its own weekday coverage. Five deficiencies sit on the current record with none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, from January 2025, and both the health and quality measure ratings came back at 4 out of 5.

Health Central Park runs 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% above the national average, and keeps 24.3% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, staffing is genuinely this home's strength, and the 5/5 staffing and quality stars reflect it. Weekend coverage dips roughly 6% below weekdays, worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays. The problem sits on the inspection side: 20 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $57,145 fine, all from an inspection dated May 2025. High quality scores and serious inspection findings can coexist, and here they do.

Sarasota Memorial runs 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and the weekend dip is only about 7% off its own weekday level, modest as these things go. The turnover number is the one that stands out: 8.6% against a national average near 46%. Staff who stay put tend to know the residents. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related. As a nonprofit with 120 beds and top marks in staffing and quality measures, the gaps here look narrow rather than structural.

Mayflower Healthcare Center runs on about 5.5 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 43% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits below the national rate at 40.6%. The trade-off is weekends, when staffing drops about 8% from its own weekday level, so coverage looks thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. On inspections, the home carries four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last survey dated May 2026. As a nonprofit with 60 certified beds, it's small enough that a single weak shift matters more than it would at a larger building.

Fleet Landing runs on a lot of nursing hours, 5.44 per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and that cushion holds up on weekends, which dip only about 8% below weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 37.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The inspection record backs that up: four deficiencies total, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2025. As a nonprofit with 100 certified beds, it's small enough to know its residents, and the staffing and turnover numbers suggest that stability is real rather than a snapshot.

Healthpark Care Center in Fort Myers runs on 5.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 47% more than the national average of 3.86, an unusually wide margin, and one that shows up in the staffing rating. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 14.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. One deficiency on the current record, none at harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection closed in December 2025. As a nonprofit with 112 beds, its numbers look steady rather than stretched.

Joseph L Morse Health Center runs on about 4.91 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 26.9%, well under the 45.8% national rate, which matters because aides who stay tend to know residents' routines. The current record holds one deficiency, none at the harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. As a nonprofit with five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, the numbers point to steady, well-attended care rather than a home skating by on minimums.

Lee Memorial Hospital's skilled unit runs on an unusually thin margin: just 18 certified beds, which likely explains why staffing looks the way it does. At 6.13 nurse hours per resident day, it's well above the national average, and weekend coverage barely dips below weekdays, a gap that trips up plenty of larger homes. Staff turnover sits at 18.2 percent against a national average of 45.8, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is clean, with no deficiencies and nothing at the harm or abuse level, and the most recent survey came in July 2025. Nonprofit ownership rounds out a picture of a small unit that appears to be run carefully.

Riverside Care Center runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.84 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter more hands-on time. Weekend coverage dips about 16% below weekdays, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 32.5%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it matters: six deficiencies total, none causing harm and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in March 2025. For-profit ownership by an individual operator is the one thing to keep an eye on, but the numbers here hold up.

Majestic Oaks runs on a nonprofit model with 150 certified beds, and the numbers back up the care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family member needs consistent weekend attention. Turnover is the real standout: 26.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last inspection was in December 2024.

Stratford Court of Boca Raton runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Annual turnover of 19.2% is well under half the national rate, which suggests a stable crew. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in September 2024. The health inspection rating sits at 3 out of 5, softer than the staffing and quality scores.
