Serenity Bay runs 143 beds in North Miami Beach under individual for-profit ownership, and its strongest number is retention: 19.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. That stability matters more than it sounds, since the same aides show up month after month. Staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 15% thinner than weekdays. Inspections tell a different story, 29 deficiencies on the current record, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from an inspection dated December 2025. The trade-off is real: reliable staff, thinner weekend coverage, and a survey history worth reading closely.

Morton Plant Rehabilitation Center runs on a nonprofit model with 126 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage does dip about 14 percent below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout: 25.7 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current.

Homestead Manor runs a tight ship, and the inspection record backs it up: just two deficiencies on file, neither causing harm or involving abuse, with a survey completed in January 2026. Staffing sits right at the national mark, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide, though weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. The standout number is turnover: 28.6% versus a 45.8% national average, meaning caregivers here tend to stay. For-profit partnership ownership, 88 certified beds, and strong marks on both health inspections and quality measures.

Vicar's Landing runs a small 30-bed nonprofit home in Ponte Vedra Beach, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 5.61 hours per resident day, roughly 45% above the national average of 3.86, which is the kind of margin that shows up in daily care rather than on a brochure. The record is clean: two deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent. Turnover at 48% edges slightly past the national 45.8%, and weekend staffing dips about 14% below weekdays, so the one question worth asking is who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

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.

Addington Place At College Harbor runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.8% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2024. State survey results and quality measures both came back strong. For-profit operation under a limited liability company, 52 beds.

Pines of Sarasota runs on more nursing time than most homes in the country, 4.20 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That margin matters, though weekends here run about 9% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage looks on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. State inspectors last visited in May 2024, and the nonprofit ownership means no shareholder pressure on the budget.

Miami Shores runs 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 28.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, so ask how the schedule holds up on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; that one deserves a direct question. Inspectors were last in on March 26, 2025, so the picture is recent. It's a for-profit LLC with 99 beds in Miami-Dade County.

Canterbury Towers is putting more nurses in the building than most homes can claim, 6.09 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That staffing depth shows up in its five-star staffing rating, and it matters most on weekends, when hours dip about 16% below the home's own weekday pace, which is typical but still worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy, none related to abuse, and the most recent state visit was in July 2025. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a touch better than the national rate. For a 60-bed nonprofit in Tampa, the numbers describe steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.

Alliance Health and Rehabilitation Center sits in Deland with 130 certified beds and for-profit partnership ownership. The staffing numbers tell a steady story: 4.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover lands at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate. On inspections, the record shows 7 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey came in February 2025. Quality measures scored 5 out of 5 stars, with staffing and health inspections each at 4. If you're weighing this one against others in Volusia County, the clean deficiency record and above-average staffing are the real substance here.

Jackson Memorial Perdue runs on county money, and that shows up in the staffing numbers: 4.67 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth above the national figure, with weekend coverage dipping about 16% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 23.6%, about half the national rate, which matters more than any single inspection score, stable crews know the residents. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 16 citations, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and two fines totaling $28,045. The most recent inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate at the top of CMS's scale; the health inspection side is more mixed at three stars.

Fountain Manor runs on about 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.7% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins when families visit. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but 2 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, and the 4/5 health inspection and 5/5 quality ratings carry real weight. It's a for-profit LLC, so ask who owns it and how long they've held it.

St. Johns Nursing Center sits in Lauderdale Lakes with 181 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. The staffing numbers are its strongest suit: 4.05 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, with a 14.4% turnover rate that's roughly a third of the national 45.8%, a stable crew, which matters more than most families realize. But the inspection record is where it gets bumpy: 28 deficiencies on file, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $25,155, with the last state visit in January 2025. Weekend staffing also dips about 8% below weekday levels. Good people, uneven oversight, worth asking about those two serious deficiencies directly.

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.

Hialeah Shores runs on numbers most homes in Miami-Dade can't match. Nurse staffing sits at 3.95 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and the 26.5% turnover rate is well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people stay. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your relative needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. Three deficiencies on record, none at harm level, none related to abuse, with an inspection dated July 2025. Corporate-owned and for-profit, 106 beds. The weak spot is nothing in the inspection or quality data, it's that staffing, while solid, isn't generous enough to call this a place with room to spare.

Clermont Health and Rehabilitation Center runs a nonprofit operation with 182 beds, and its record is steadier than most. The 14 deficiencies on file include none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, which matters more than the raw count. On the other hand, nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage can feel stretched on a Saturday. Turnover is the bright spot: 20.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are more likely to still be there next year. A recent inspection in August 2025 rounds it out.

Benderson Family runs 45 beds in Sarasota under corporate ownership, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 4.72 hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 6% below weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes show. Turnover is 46.3%, essentially matching the national 45.8%, so you're not looking at a churning floor staff. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. The one caveat: corporate for-profit ownership means decisions about this building get made somewhere else.

Glades West Rehabilitation And Nursing C sits in Pembroke Pines with 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership. The numbers behind its A grade start with people: 4.06 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and turnover of 24.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay, which matters for how well residents are known. Weekend staffing dips roughly 11% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025.

Bay Village Of Sarasota runs on a nonprofit model with 95 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.98 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday levels, so coverage stays fairly consistent. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 2024. Resident outcomes look solid, with a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating and 4 out of 5 on staffing, while health inspections land at 3. The picture is a well-staffed home with a clean harm record but a blemish worth asking about directly.

Coral Gables Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs on 87 certified beds in Miami, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.44 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15% above the national average. Turnover sits at 24.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The inspection record is clean, two total deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was December 18, 2025. Quality measures came in at three stars, softer than the staffing and inspection scores. It's a for-profit limited liability company, so worth asking who runs day-to-day operations and how long they've been there.
