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.

East Ridge runs a tight operation on the clinical side: quality measures come in at the top of CMS's five-star scale, and the staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at four stars. Nurse hours per resident day land at 3.83, roughly in line with the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $8,788. Staff turnover of 43.2% is slightly better than the national rate, which matters for continuity of care.

Waterford runs 3.53 nursing hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for consistency. The 13 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, a meaningful distinction from homes with similar counts. The last inspection was recent, March 2026, so the picture is current. At 214 beds under corporate ownership, staffing is the number worth pushing on.

Gulfside runs 76 beds in Clearwater under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 54.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the aides and nurses you meet may be new to the building. The record shows 30 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single $4,017 fine. The last inspection was January 18, 2024. Its quality measure star rating is 5/5, which stands out against a 2/5 inspection rating and 3/5 for staffing.

The Manor at Carpenters runs on a nonprofit model with 3.71 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday staffing. That's the gap to watch, since 15 deficiencies sit on the current record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus one fine of $24,252. Turnover at 41.3% is better than the 45.8% national rate, and its last inspection was January 2024. The four-star marks across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing line up with what the numbers show: solid on most measures, with real room to tighten weekend coverage.

Elon Manor runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical U.S. home, about 3.48 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage. That matters for a 96-bed for-profit home, though its staff retention is genuinely better than most: 30.3% turnover versus 45.8% nationally, which suggests less churn and more familiar faces. The inspection record is the weak spot: 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three fines totaling $30,989, and a recent February 2026 inspection that left a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Quality and staffing measures both scored 4 out of 5, so the day-to-day care numbers look steadier than the survey history does.

Delaney Park runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The health inspection side is the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is middling. The nonprofit's numbers point to a stable workforce covering thinner weekend shifts, with inspection history worth asking about directly.

Citrus Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 111 certified beds in Inverness, under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday numbers, a pattern worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 48%, a bit above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, four at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the inspection was recent and the quality measure score is strong. What pulls the numbers in different directions is the staffing rating itself, which lands low.

Colonial Skilled Nursing in West Palm Beach runs 30 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86. 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. The quality measure score is the strongest of its ratings; the health inspection score is the weakest.

Buffalo Crossings runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That sounds solid until you notice weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families actually visit on is thinner than the weekday numbers suggest. Staff turnover is 47%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%. The inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was July 2025 and earned four stars. Quality measures score five stars. The gap between strong quality scores and that deficiency list is worth asking about directly.

Chatham Glen sits in The Villages with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.99 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 47.8%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces each week. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies but none at harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. The five-star quality measure rating stands out against a three-star staffing rating.

Destination Health and Rehabilitation Center in Destin runs 119 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: zero deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in May 2026. Nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, so it isn't staffing richly, it's staffing at par, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. The number worth sitting with is turnover: 57.1% against a national average of 45.8%. People are leaving faster than usual here, and that's the thing to ask about when you tour.

Olive Branch runs 4.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its last inspection in April 2025 turned up 11 deficiencies with none causing harm and nothing abuse-related. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 54.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your family member change often. For-profit, LLC-owned, 90 beds. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture; the churn is the part worth asking about when you tour.

Oak Manor runs 180 certified beds under limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.6% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $4,017. Its last inspection was January 2024, and the quality measure rating comes in at the top of the scale while inspection and staffing sit mid-range.

Vivo Healthcare Gateway runs 120 certified beds in Pinellas Park under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 36.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record is the concern. Twenty-eight deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Last survey was March 2024, so that picture is reasonably current.

Miracle Hill runs a 120-bed nonprofit home in Tallahassee where nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 42.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, though 28 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm level and a $43,264 fine. Its last inspection was June 2025, so the record is recent. What you're looking at is a place with decent marks on quality measures and staffing stars, but thin weekend coverage and a deficiency history worth asking about directly.

The Havens At Pensacola runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers land mostly in solid territory. Nurse staffing sits at 3.80 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 12% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday, worth knowing if your visits or care concerns tend to fall on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 51.8%, above the 45.8% national figure, so expect some churn among caregivers. On the regulatory side, seven deficiencies show on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated June 2026. CMS gives the place 4 of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Blue Palms runs a 60-bed for-profit home in Deland, and the numbers underneath its grade tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and it drops about 11% on weekends, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 56.8% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning more than half the staff leaves each year, which matters for residents who rely on familiar faces. The good news: nine deficiencies on record, none at harm level and none abuse-related, with a recent April 2025 inspection and strong marks on quality measures.

Port St Lucie Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That edge comes with a caveat: weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Turnover lands at 41.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2024. Quality measures score low relative to staffing and inspections, which is worth asking about directly.

Community Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: a four-out-of-five health inspection rating, with the most recent survey completed in August 2025 and 11 deficiencies on file. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and there are no abuse-related citations. Staffing is thinner than it looks at first glance. At 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, the home sits about 4% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 5% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 43.6% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Quality measures land at three out of five.
