Treasure Isle Care Center runs 176 certified beds in North Bay Village, and the staffing line is the one worth pausing on: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is where it flips, 23.2% against a national average near 46%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The health inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in October 2025. Quality measures score well; the inspection side is what holds this home back.
Claridge House runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. The trade-off shows up in retention: 23.2% turnover is about half the national rate, so the same caregivers tend to stay. What pulls the record down is oversight, 31 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $24,850 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned, 240 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how those two harm-level issues were resolved.
Kendall Lakes runs on more nurse hours than most homes in the country, 4.11 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday pace, so a Saturday shift isn't staffed like a Tuesday. The inspection record is genuinely clean: 11 deficiencies logged, none at the level where a resident was harmed or put in jeopardy, nothing tied to abuse, and the last full survey came in August 2025. This is a for-profit corporate home with 150 certified beds, and its staffing star sits lower than its inspection and quality scores for a reason, the weekday average carries the number, and the weekend dip is where families should ask questions.
North Beach Healthcare runs about 3.47 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record is the real problem: 35 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $104,283 fine, and the most recent inspection was February 2026, so that record is current, not old. What keeps this from being a total write-off is the staff itself. Turnover sits at 25% against a national average near 46%, which means the people showing up are, at least, staying.
The Terrace of Hialeah runs 276 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership, and its 3.35 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 13% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. That thinner coverage matters more given the 21 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. Turnover is the bright spot: 35.6% against a national 45.8%. The last inspection closed in December 2025, so the record is recent. Federal ratings split sharply here, five stars on quality measures, three on staffing and inspections. Ask about weekend coverage before you visit.
Azure Shores Rehab runs 120 beds in Miami under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters more than the 43.7% turnover rate, which is actually a hair better than the 45.8% national figure. The 37 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2026, so the paperwork is current. What you're looking at is a home with real clinical quality marks and a thin direct-care floor, which is the thing to ask about when you visit.
North Dade runs 245 beds and sits below the national staffing average, about 3.51 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends thinner still, roughly a tenth under its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 24.7% is genuinely low next to the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder part: 50 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $128,281 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 28, 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong quality scores and stable staff don't cancel out a citation history that serious.
Pinecrest Center runs about 100 certified beds in North Miami, and its strongest number is one families rarely see: staff turnover of 18.6 percent, well under the national average of roughly 46 percent. That kind of retention matters, because aides who stay know the residents. The tradeoff shows up in daily coverage, 3.45 nurse hours per resident, about 11 percent below the national figure, and weekends run thinner than weekdays. On paper the care record looks steady: a 2025 inspection, 19 deficiencies with none at the harm level, one abuse-related finding, and a single fine of $27,593. A for-profit corporation owns it. The takeaway is a home with unusually stable staff but leaner shifts; ask how weekend coverage actually works.
Regents Park At Aventura runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip another 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is the outlier worth noting: 18.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Where it gets harder to overlook is the inspection record, 27 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $64,981 fine and a January 2026 inspection. Consistent caregivers matter, but a harm-level finding and an abuse citation are the kind of thing a family should ask about directly.
Villa Maria Nursing Center runs 212 certified beds in North Miami as a nonprofit, and its 23.6% annual staff turnover is roughly half the national rate, that kind of retention usually means a steadier crew than most homes manage. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, about 2% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the trouble spot: 23 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $161,110 in fines, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Ask about those harm-level findings specifically.
St. Annes runs a stable ship on the staffing side, 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and a 25.8% turnover rate that's well below the typical 45.8%. Retention like that usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekends dip about 8% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tension sits in the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $34,141 in fines across three incidents. The most recent survey closed in April 2025. Strong care metrics and staffing don't erase a rough survey history, ask to see the plan of correction for those two harm-level findings.
The numbers at Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center don't tell one story, they tell two. Staffing looks strong on paper: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating and turnover at 26.9% compared to 45.8% nationally. But resident care tells another story. CMS has flagged 61 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and three abuse-related, plus $264,517 in fines. The home sits in the Special Focus Facility program.
That gap between staffing scores and inspection results is the whole picture here. Federal regulators have flagged serious problems but the staffing numbers look stable. If you're considering this home, ask about those abuse-related findings directly.
