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.

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.

A.G. Rhodes Home runs 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Inspections are recent, December 2025, and the 3/5 health inspection rating alongside 4/5 quality measures suggests care outcomes are tracking better than the paperwork side. Nonprofit ownership under a corporation is typical for Georgia's older homes. Ask about weekend coverage and that abuse citation before touring.

Muscogee Manor runs on a city government budget, and the staffing shows it: 5.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 40% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing rating and turnover at 34.1%, well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 10% from weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly, but the floor is still well covered. Where the home gives ground is quality measures, which score 1/5, and 17 deficiencies on the current record, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The last inspection was February 2026, so the record is recent.

A.g. Rhodes Home in Marietta runs on real staffing depth, 4.59 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping only about 12% below its own weekday level. That's better than most homes manage. Turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents. The tradeoff shows up in its record: 15 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was December 2025. A nonprofit with a 4-star inspection rating and steady staffing, but the harm-level and abuse findings are the part of the file a family should ask about directly.

Luther Oaks sits in Bloomington with just 19 certified beds, so it's a small operation, and small homes can go either way. The staffing number looks solid at 3.91 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger issue is turnover: 61.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning a lot of caregivers are cycling through. Inspections in August 2024 turned up 21 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related. Good quality measure scores, but the inspection record and churn are worth asking about directly.

Brookside Village runs a small house, 27 beds, and puts more nursing hours into each resident than the typical American nursing home, about 6% above the national figure. That staffing holds up reasonably well on weekends, dipping only around 10% below its own weekday pace. Inspections back it up: a four-star health inspection with just six deficiencies on record, none causing harm and none tied to abuse. The catch is turnover. At 62.8%, staff are leaving far more often than the 45.8% national rate, which matters in a building this small, where a few departures can shift who's actually at the bedside. Ownership is for-profit corporate. The last inspection was recent, in May 2026. Strong numbers overall, with one real question mark worth asking about directly.

Parkview Haven is a 42-bed county-owned home in Francesville, and the single most encouraging number is its staff turnover: 21.1% a year against a national average of 45.8%. Keeping caregivers in place matters more than almost anything else in a building this small. The tradeoff shows up in staffing levels, which CMS rates near the bottom, and in 22 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Quality measures come in above average, and the last inspection was recent, in June 2025. Read the survey report yourself and ask how they're covering shifts.

Sunrise Hill runs lean on daily nursing hours, 3.26 per resident, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's the tradeoff at a 76-bed for-profit home in rural Tama County. What stands out is retention: 10.3% turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses here largely stay put, which matters more for daily care than a single staffing number. The inspection record is mostly clean (three deficiencies) but includes one harm-level and one abuse-related finding, so ask directly how those were resolved. Last inspected December 2025, so the record is current.
