Whispering Pines runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Saturday. The inspection record shows a recent visit in March 2026 with 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. Turnover at 43.9% is marginally better than the 45.8% national figure, but the quality measure and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5. A 4-out-of-5 inspection star doesn't erase what those numbers suggest about day-to-day consistency.

Aviata At Oldsmar's inspection record is the part to look at first: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $36,659. That's a heavy citation load for 120 beds, and CMS rates the health inspection side of this home at 1 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was February 2024, so roughly a year of operating history sits behind those numbers. It's a for-profit, individually owned building in Pinellas County. If you're considering it, ask the administrator directly what changed after that abuse-related finding and how they're tracking it now.

Arabella Health & Wellness of Pensacola runs 118 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is mixed: 17 deficiencies on record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. That's worth asking about directly, even though the health inspection star rating still sits at 4 out of 5. Staffing tells a quieter story, 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 7% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 55.3% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The last inspection was May 4, 2026.

Brookdale Palmer Ranch sits in Sarasota with 60 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing number looks fine on paper, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but that average hides a lot. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover runs 67.2% against a national norm of 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member are likely to keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $59,696 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was August 2024.

Coral Bay runs 210 beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Turnover is 46.4%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The real problem shows up in inspections. Thirty-five deficiencies are on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. One fine totaling $108,665. The last inspection was January 19, 2026. CMS gives it one star for health inspections, even though staffing earned four. That gap between how the place is staffed and what inspectors keep finding is the story here.

Madison Health and Rehab runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.5%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem here isn't churn so much as thin daily coverage. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and the last inspection was in May 2025. With 67 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, the staffing numbers are what drag this one down, not the inspection history.

McRae Manor runs 133 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability owner, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 30.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home. The tradeoff shows up in the government's inspection scores, where the home earns 2 of 5 stars, and in quality measures at 1 of 5. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $8,697. The last inspection was December 4, 2025.

The inspection record here is genuinely strong, 5 out of 5 stars, just two deficiencies on the books, and a survey from May 2025. But the day-to-day picture is thinner than that suggests. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 13% below the home's own weekday level. One of those two deficiencies is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Turnover at 32.7% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. A for-profit partnership in rural Burke County, 64 beds. Worth a visit on a weekend.

Buckingham Pavilion is a 235-bed for-profit home in Chicago, and its inspection record is its strongest card, a recent December 2025 survey, 23 deficiencies on file with none rising to harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. A 4-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects that. Where it slips is staffing: 2.73 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 29% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 5% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 50% runs above the 45.8% national figure. Fewer hands and a churning workforce is what pulls the overall picture down, even with clean inspections.

Golden Good Shepherd Home runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating and in a record of 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse. The one clear bright spot is turnover: 36.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. With 46 beds and nonprofit ownership, it's a small, stable workforce stretched too thin, the kind of place where you'd want to ask exactly who's on the floor on a Saturday night.

Fairhaven Christian Ret Center runs 5.13 nurse hours per resident day, about a third more than the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips roughly 12% below its own weekday level. That kind of ratio usually reads as a green flag. What undercuts it is turnover: 94.7% of staff leave each year, more than double the national rate, which means the hours are there on paper but often delivered by people still learning the building. On inspections, 21 deficiencies, six serious enough to cause harm, and one $120,225 fine. The most recent survey was February 2026, so the record is current. The staffing hours are real; the consistency behind them is the question.

Transcendent Healthcare of Boonville runs 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekend staffing holds about even with weekdays rather than dropping. Staff turnover sits at 36.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some consistency in who's showing up. The trouble is the inspection record: 62 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $52,854. Quality measures score well, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating with a recent March 2026 survey tells you the care process problems are current, not historical.

Freelandville Community Home runs 45 beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 5% thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 67.5% of staff leave each year, well above the 45.8% national average, which matters because unfamiliar caregivers struggle to notice small changes in residents. Its record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, though the last inspection was recent, in February 2026. Inspection, quality, and staffing each landed at three stars out of five.

Sanford Senior Care Sheldon runs 3.43 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 11 percent below its own weekday level. That thinner coverage adds up when you consider turnover: 58.9 percent of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8 percent national rate. The inspection record is the harder part. Twenty deficiencies are on file, four of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, including one tied to abuse. The last inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current, and a $11,872 fine is attached. This is a nonprofit home with 70 beds, and the numbers show a building struggling with both care quality and keeping people.

Jordan Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 104 certified beds in Louisa under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.60 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 coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Turnover is 47.4%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which matters. But the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5 and quality measures just 1 out of 5, suggesting the last inspection in June 2025 found real problems worth asking about directly.

River's Bend is a small nonprofit home in Kuttawa, 40 beds, inspected recently enough that its record is current. Six deficiencies on file, none causing harm and none abuse-related, and a 4-star health inspection rating backs that up. Where it slips is the care side: the quality measure rating sits at 2 stars, staffing is a little under the national average and thins out further on weekends, and turnover runs 56.8% against a national 45.8%. That last number matters more than it looks. At a 40-bed home, a few departures a year reshuffle a large share of the people who know your mother's routine. Ask how long the current aides have actually been there.

The Lodge At Tangi Pines runs 100 certified beds in Amite under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That's the strongest part of the picture. The weaker parts: weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 49.6%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record carries 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. Two fines total $127,180, and the most recent inspection was April 15, 2026. Quality measures scored 2 out of 5 stars. Staffing is genuinely better than average here, but the abuse-related findings and harm-level deficiencies are what a family should ask about directly before deciding.

Golden Age of Welsh runs 114 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average. Weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins right when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 44%, close to the national figure, so that's not the standout problem here. What stands out is the record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $43,368 fine. The most recent inspection was July 30, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measure at 2 out of 5 stars each, while inspections earned 4.

Ollie Steele Burden Manor is a 174-bed nonprofit home run by a church group in Baton Rouge, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 16% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips exactly when families tend to visit. The 20 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, which matters, and the most recent inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current. What pulls the quality measure rating down to 1 out of 5 is worth asking about directly, since that reflects resident outcomes rather than paperwork.

St Clare Manor runs 184 beds in Baton Rouge under limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are cycling through quickly. Inspections are recent and clean at the harm level, though the record shows 22 deficiencies, one abuse-related. Federal quality measures rate 2 out of 5.
