Lakeland Hills Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
51%
Serious cites
0

Lakeland Hills Center runs on 3.21 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends dip below even that. With 50.9% annual turnover, more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, which matters when the health inspection record shows 33 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus one tied to abuse. The $139,373 fine and a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating point the same direction. The 5-out-of-5 quality measure score stands out against all of this, but quality measures come from the same understaffed floor. The for-profit limited liability company ownership has a recent inspection on record, so the picture is current, not stale.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Fairway Oaks Center runs about 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last survey was September 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.

Staff turnover
62%
Serious cites
0

Aviata At Sand Key runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly another 8% below its own weekday level. That thin margin helps explain the 62.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a staffing star of 2 out of 5. Its inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $163,898 fine, with the last inspection in February 2024. Strong quality measures don't offset a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and consistent understaffing. If you're considering this one, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what changed since that inspection.

Aviata At University Hills runs 120 certified beds in Pensacola under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong: a 4-star health inspection rating, no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, and no abuse citations among the 11 on file. Where it lags is staffing. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 62.4% is well above the national 45.8%. Three fines totaling $28,359 round out the record. The care environment has been clean on paper, the question is whether the workforce can sustain it.

Staff turnover

Nurse staffing here runs about 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with 16 fines totaling $117,410. Staff turnover sits at 44.1 percent, marginally better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's cold comfort against a one-star health inspection rating and a July 2025 inspection that found serious problems. If you're weighing this one, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related citations and what has actually changed since.

Hawthorne Center runs 3.65 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 56.7% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The current inspection record carries 24 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, along with a single fine of $157,729. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company. Quality measures score well, but inspections and staffing don't, and that split is worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Highland Pines runs on 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip a little below weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 37 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to be flagged at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits just above the national rate at 48.5%. The nonprofit owner has paid $196,670 in fines across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was August 2024. A 4-out-of-5 on quality measures doesn't offset what inspectors keep finding.

Crescent Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 140 beds in Sarasota under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 64.4% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for your relative are likely to change often. The health inspection record is the real concern: a 1-out-of-5 star rating, 20 deficiencies with two at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $26,534.

Aviata At Oakfield runs on 3.28 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7 percent below its own weekday numbers. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with $29,328 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover is 47 percent, slightly above the 45.8 percent national figure, and ownership is for-profit individual. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents' conditions are tracked, but it doesn't offset a one-star inspection history or thin staffing. Ask about the abuse-related findings and the plan to keep weekend coverage steady.

Milledgeville, GA · Baldwin County

CMS 3/5 100 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Serious cites

Chaplinwood runs leaner than most homes on nursing hours, about 3.36 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially tracking the national rate, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as a coverage one. The current inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with $7,901 in fines. The most recent survey was June 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders, but that structure hasn't translated into stronger staffing or quality scores here.

Brunswick, GA · Glynn County

Sears Manor runs on thinner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.37 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 13% below its own weekday level, which is when families tend to visit and notice. The bigger number is turnover: 65.2% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in the inspection record too. Twenty deficiencies are on file, three of them abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in May 2025. This is a for-profit LLC operating 100 beds in Brunswick, and the pattern reads as a home where care depends heavily on who happens to be on shift.

Roberta Trails of Journey runs 100 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean, four deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with a May 2025 inspection still fresh. The trouble sits in the workforce. Nurse staffing averages 4.02 hours per resident day, modestly above the 3.86 national figure, but weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 61.8% against a 45.8% national average. High turnover with thinner weekend coverage is the pattern families end up feeling. Federal quality measures land at 1 out of 5 stars, which is worth asking about directly, because a clean inspection record and weak resident outcomes don't always tell the same story.

Rockdale Healthcare Center runs 103 certified beds in Conyers, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, with weekends about 8 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the bright spot: 21.7 percent against a national average near 46 percent, so the people who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is heavier: 25 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measure scores land at 1 out of 5 stars and staffing at 2, which is where the weak hours per resident show up.

Wildwood Health and Rehab runs 44 beds in Talking Rock under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, a recent survey with just four deficiencies, none causing harm, no abuse findings, and modest fines totaling $8,736. Where the picture shifts is staffing and quality measures. At 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 31% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency. The tension between that strong inspection history and weak quality and staffing scores is the real story here.

Heather Health Care Center runs on 2.36 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 39% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are also the least supervised. That staffing shortfall sits alongside 36 deficiencies on the current record, including 10 at the harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $308,658. Turnover at 35.1% is better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure rating is strong, but a 1/5 inspection rating with a March 2026 survey that recent tells you the problems are current rather than historical.

Ryze West runs 2.28 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 41% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level. That thin staffing shows in the federal stars: one out of five for staffing, two for health inspections. The inspection record carries 72 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $127,940. Turnover sits at 47.3%, slightly above the national 45.8%. The five-star quality measure rating reflects resident assessments, not the hands available to help. The most recent inspection was May 24, 2024. For-profit corporate ownership, 234 beds.

Carlton At The Lake runs 244 beds on Chicago's South Side under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average. Weekends drop about 5 percent below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 33.1 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled at once. The inspection record is heavier. Sixty-two deficiencies, six serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, eight tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $241,131. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Ask about staffing on weekends and how the abuse citations were resolved.

The Pearl of Fox River Valley runs about 10% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, the stretch when families typically visit and problems surface. Turnover sits at 48.5%, a few points above the national rate, so the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. Its record shows 30 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $142,448. The last inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is current.

The Pavilion of Logan Square runs 222 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.12 nurse hours per resident day sits well under the national 3.86, with weekends dipping about 12% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage likely explains the one-star CMS staffing rating. What's interesting is the 20.8% turnover, less than half the national average, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The clinical record is the bigger problem: 52 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $67,360 in fines. The last inspection was August 2025. Steady workers, thin hours, and a long citation history.

Nurse staffing at Countryside runs about 2.58 hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, which tells you the weakest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. The inspection record is heavy: 53 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse. Staff turnover of 42.3% is slightly better than the national figure, so the problem looks more like too few hands than constant churn. This individually owned, 197-bed home draws a 1 out of 5 on CMS's staffing rating, and with its last inspection in July 2025, ask directly what has changed since.
