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.

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.

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.

The Health Center at Sinai Residences runs 5.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with 22.5% annual turnover against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a lighter floor than midweek. Its seven deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. That combination, heavy staffing, low turnover, a clean harm record, is doing the real work here.

Finnish-American Village runs on a level of nurse staffing that most homes don't come close to, 4.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage holding nearly steady. What stands out just as much is the turnover: 12.2% annually, when the typical nursing home is losing closer to 46% of its staff every year. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, but none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2025, and one fine totaling $9,471 is the only money the home has paid. A nonprofit with 45 beds in Lake Worth, it looks steady across every measure that matters.

Menorah House sits in Boca Raton with 120 certified beds, run by a for-profit LLC. Nurse staffing lands at 3.77 hours per resident day, a hair under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out is retention: 16.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means the same caregivers keep showing up, which tends to matter more than a tenth of an hour on paper. The health inspection record is thinner: 2 of 5 stars, 28 deficiencies on file, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025.

The Terrace of Delray Beach runs on a for-profit LLC model with 120 certified beds, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect a leaner floor. The stronger numbers are elsewhere: staff turnover is 27%, well under the 45.8% national rate, and the quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, meaning residents aren't showing up in the problem data. There are 25 deficiencies on the current record, but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2024.

Cascades Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 100 certified beds in Delray Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $29,780; the most recent inspection was December 4, 2025. Staff turnover is the outlier here: 18.8% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. Quality measure scores look strong, but the inspection findings are the part that matters most.

Hamlin Place of Boynton Beach runs on nonprofit ownership and holds 120 certified beds. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the standout figure: 23.2% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was December 11, 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars while staffing earns 4, which fits a home that's better at keeping people than at hitting clinical benchmarks.

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.

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.

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.

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.
