Hidden Lakes runs on 24 beds in Vero Beach, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth more than the national average, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 46.9%, a hair above the national 45.8%, so the clinical team is stable enough for a home this size. What pulls the record down is inspection history, 27 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2026. Quality measures score well; the recurring paperwork and process problems are what families should ask about directly.

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.

Nurse staffing at this Jacksonville home runs 3.96 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends drop roughly five percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 44.8%, right in line with the national figure. The inspection record is where things get more complicated: 16 deficiencies on file, three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. Those are real marks against a home that otherwise scores well on health inspections and quality measures. If you're considering it, ask directly how the abuse-related citations were resolved and what changed since.

Lake Placid Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the real story here, 35 deficiencies on file, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent state visit in July 2025. That's a lot of paperwork for a single building. Staffing sits at 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover at 39.3% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay seem to stay. The quality measures look strong, but inspections tell you what a building actually looks like on its worst day.

Hampton Court sits in North Miami Beach with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in April 2025, with nine deficiencies on file and none at the harm or jeopardy level. Nurse staffing runs 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 4% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays. Staff turnover of 43.1% is slightly better than the national rate. The quality measures hold up well. The main thing to watch is consistency of hands-on care across the whole week.

Pines Nursing Home runs 46 beds in Miami under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, with a staff turnover rate of 16.7% against a national average of 45.8%. That retention is unusually steady for this industry. The catch is in the inspection record: 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Weekend staffing also drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level. So you have consistent caregivers and decent weekday coverage, but a citation history that deserves real questions before you sign anything.

River City runs 3.96 total nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds fairly steady, about 12% below weekday levels, which is a narrower gap than many homes manage. The ten deficiencies on its current record carry no findings at the harm or jeopardy level, and none are abuse-related; its most recent inspection was February 26, 2026. The quality measure rating comes in at the top of CMS's scale, while the staffing star rating sits in the middle, which is worth noting given the corporate, for-profit ownership. Nothing here reads as alarming, but families should ask how the 3.96 hours actually get distributed across shifts.

Laurellwood runs about 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.3% runs above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $37,316 fine. Its quality measure scores are strong, but a two-star inspection rating and that deficiency list are the parts worth asking about directly.

Broward Oaks runs 120 certified beds in Plantation under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits right at the national average, 3.85 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 15% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 27.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because stable aides know residents. The inspection record is the weaker side: 34 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $33,891 fine, though nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where the home has work to do.

Fountains Rehabilitation At Mill Cove runs 84 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national 3.86 average, with weekends about 11% leaner than weekdays. Turnover comes in at 41.6%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters more than it sounds in a building this size. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in February 2026, so the picture is current. A 4/5 on quality measures and 4/5 on staffing carry the profile; the 3/5 inspection rating is where the 15 findings show up.

Alexander "Sandy" Nininger State Veterans Nursing runs on unusually strong staffing for a Florida home: 5.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 44% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 10% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a stable crew rather than a revolving door. The trade-off shows up in oversight. Inspections turned up 23 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $38,659 fine. The most recent inspection was January 2025, so the record is current. Strong hands on deck, but the state has found real problems worth asking about directly.

Manor At Blue Water Bay runs 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth knowing if most of your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 48.4%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure, so call lights may get answered by a changing cast of faces. Against that, the record is unusually clean: a single deficiency, none at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and a five-star inspection rating from a visit dated April 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned, 120 beds.

Edgewater At Waterman Village runs on a nonprofit model with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are a real strength: 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. Retention is better than most too, 40.4% turnover against a national 45.8%. The catch is consistency. Weekend staffing drops about 12% below its own weekday level, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. That combination, solid staffing, no serious safety findings, but a middling inspection history, explains why this lands as a solid B rather than something higher.

Blountstown Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on better-than-average nurse coverage: 4.27 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent above the national figure, which is why its staffing rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend hours dip about 11 percent below its own weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Staff turnover of 40.7 percent is lower than the 45.8 percent national average, and the inspection record shows seven deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, with the most recent survey done in December 2025. The tradeoff worth noting: quality measures land mid-range while staffing and inspections carry the score. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 96 certified beds.

W Frank Wells runs a genuinely strong floor. At 6.08 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by more than half, and its staff turnover of 27.9% sits well under the 45.8% norm, people stay here. Weekends thin out about 24% from weekday coverage, which is normal but worth knowing if your visits fall on a Saturday. What pulls the record down is inspections: 16 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy, four tied to abuse, and one fine of $26,320 from a December 2024 survey. The staffing is the argument for this place; the inspection history is the argument for asking hard questions before you commit.

Marion And Bernard L Samson Nursing Center runs a nonprofit home with 180 beds in Saint Petersburg, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.91 hours per resident day. That edge is thin, though, and weekends tell a different story, coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when falls and missed care tend to happen. Turnover runs 47.4%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the faces change often. On paper the clinical quality scores look strong, but the inspection record is the weak spot: 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and a March 2024 inspection that already feels dated. Nothing on the current record rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters.

Royal Care of Avon Park runs a for-profit operation with 90 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are better than they look at first glance, 4.15 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 45.4%, basically in line with the national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, plus two fines totaling $17,342. That history is what drags the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5, even as the quality measure score sits at the top of the scale.

Desoto Health and Rehab runs 78 beds in Arcadia under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Turnover sits at 39.1%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces. Two things pull the other direction. Weekend staffing drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level, so care may thin out exactly when families visit. And the inspection record is weak: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies with one at harm level, and a $13,520 fine. The quality measure score of 4/5 reflects clinical outcomes, not the survey history.

Stuart Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 3.69 nursing hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. That's a leaner floor than average, though the home keeps its staff: 27.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2024. The quality measure score of 2 out of 5 is the weak spot, federal clinical benchmarks like hospitalizations and antipsychotic use don't track as well here as the staffing and inspection results do.

Tamarac Center for Rehabilitation and Healing runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing going for it: a five-star health inspection rating, with the most recent visit in May 2024 and seven total deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related. Staffing is where it gives ground. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. The tradeoff is retention: 28.4% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure means the aides and nurses you meet are likelier to still be there next year.
