The Inn at Sarasota Bay Club runs on 5.75 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and it holds that level on weekends instead of thinning out. Staff turnover sits at 42.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether caregivers actually know the residents. Eleven deficiencies appear on the current record, none causing harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. For-profit corporate ownership is the one thing here that doesn't distinguish it; the staffing numbers do.

Oak Hammock runs 5.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 36% above the national average, and staff turnover sits at 35.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than is typical. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, a small enough gap that care shouldn't feel different on a Saturday. The tradeoff is on inspections: 13 deficiencies on the current record, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is a lighter picture than the raw count suggests. The last inspection was March 2025, so the record is current.

Moosehaven runs on 5.34 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 38% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes see. The bigger number is turnover: 19.4% annually against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay put. Inspections back it up, with a five-star health inspection rating and just five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was in August 2024, so the picture is current. For a 72-bed nonprofit in Orange Park, the staffing consistency and low turnover are doing most of the work here.

Skytop View runs on about 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure of 3.86, and weekend coverage barely dips from its weekday level. State inspectors visited in March 2025 and logged 13 deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 43.8%, a touch under the 45.8% national rate. This is a small for-profit home, 30 beds, individually owned, so the numbers rest on a narrow staff, and 13 deficiencies is a real count even without any at the harm level. The staffing margin is what separates it.

St. Mark Village runs about 5.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 39% sits below the national 45.8%. Weekend coverage drops about 15% from its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries four deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in January 2024. It's a nonprofit with 80 beds, which tends to mean steadier ownership than a chain.

Memorial Manor runs on 4.84 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical Florida nursing home, and weekends dip only about 10% below its own weekday level, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 16% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The 12 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in October 2024. It's a hospital-district home with 120 certified beds, so it answers to a public board rather than a private operator.

Good Samaritan Center runs a 161-bed nonprofit home in Live Oak, and the staffing numbers are the real story here. At 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, it's running about a third above the national average, and that lands it a 5/5 on CMS's staffing measure, though weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about. Turnover sits at 34.6%, noticeably better than the 45.8% national figure. Thirteen deficiencies on record with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, plus a 4/5 inspection rating and a recent April 2026 visit, suggests a home that's keeping its paperwork and its people in order.

University Crossing runs on 5.87 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again what the typical American nursing home provides, and that's the number doing most of the work here. Weekend staffing dips about 9% from its own weekday level, so coverage is thinner Saturdays and Sundays, but still well above average. Staff turnover sits at 44.6%, basically in line with the national picture, which is to say this is a field where nearly half of caregivers leave within a year. Five deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the last full inspection was December 2024. As a nonprofit, its dollars don't flow to shareholders.

Shands Jacksonville runs a tight ship. Nurse staffing sits at 5.79 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and only about 27% of the nursing staff turns over in a year, well under the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips around 14% below weekday levels, the one soft spot worth asking about. The inspection record is spotless: zero deficiencies, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2026. This is a nonprofit hospital-based unit with 56 beds, and its staffing and quality scores back up what the numbers say.

Riviera Health Resort runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that staffing shows up as five stars from CMS on both staffing and quality measures. Turnover sits at 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in October 2025. For a 223-bed for-profit in Coral Gables, the numbers hold up.

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.

The Pavilion for Health Care runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its inspection record is clean by any reasonable standard: three deficiencies total, none causing harm, none tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 34.4%, well below the national 45.8%, though weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. This is a small nonprofit home of 50 beds in Clay County, last inspected in March 2026. The numbers describe a stable, well-staffed place, not a perfect one.

Miami Jewish Health Systems runs 393 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 7.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 85% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 28.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 11 deficiencies on record, one at harm or jeopardy level, and a single $14,800 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5; health inspections 3. That mix of heavy staffing and a recent serious deficiency is worth asking about directly.

Ft Lauderdale Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 169 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. The bigger story is retention: 33.3% turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces, though weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below weekday levels. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. Quality measures score 5/5 and staffing 4/5, while health inspections land at 3/5, the weakest of the three. Families weighing a tour should ask specifically how weekend staffing is covered.

Jackson Memorial runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.66 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 47% above the national average, with a 12.2% turnover rate against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention is rare, and it means your family member sees familiar faces. The tradeoffs are real, though. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, and the current inspection record carries nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality and staffing measures both score at the top; the health inspection side sits in the middle.

The Palace at Kendall runs on 4.26 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 9% below its own weekday level, a gap worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 29.6% against a national average of 45.8%, which means aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than is typical. Fourteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. This is a for-profit partnership with 180 certified beds.

Tri-County Nursing Home runs 3.84 nurse staffing hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, close enough that it's basically at par, though weekends dip about 8% below what the home staffs during the week. The standout number is turnover: 32.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. Inspections back that up. Six deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was April 2026. As a nonprofit with 81 beds, it's small and stable on paper, and the staffing consistency and inspection record are what separate it from the pack.

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.

Victoria Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs a 264-bed for-profit home in Miami, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noting: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 30.2%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people tend to stay. The record shows 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was December 2024.

Gulf Coast Medical Center's skilled nursing unit runs on government ownership through the hospital district, and the numbers show a place that's mostly held together by staffing. At 5.82 nurse hours per resident day, it's about half again the national average, and turnover sits at 19.3% against a national 45.8%, unusually stable for the industry. Weekend coverage dips only about 11% below weekdays. Inspections tell a messier story: a 5-star health inspection rating, but six deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $14,521 fine. The last inspection was August 2023, so the record is dated. Quality measures land at 4 stars. Strong staffing and low turnover are real, but that one harm-level deficiency is the detail worth asking about directly.
