Ventura Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 99 certified beds in Boynton Beach under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the weakest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the standout: 22.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 38 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS, health inspection 3.

Lakeside Health Center runs about 107 certified beds in West Palm Beach under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits roughly 8% under the national average at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 30% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stick around, and stability matters more than raw hours for daily care. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and deserve a direct question. Last inspected December 2025, so the record is recent.

The Waterford in Juno Beach runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection came in February 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the place operates now. Staffing sits at 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. What offsets that is stability: turnover is 23.3%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Consistent caregivers and a clean harm record matter more here than the raw staffing number.

Encore At Boca Raton runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours a resident gets depend heavily on which day it is. Staff turnover of 41.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A December 2024 inspection is recent enough to reflect current conditions.

The numbers here pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs 3.53 hours per resident per day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 24.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning this staff is unusually stable for the industry. The inspection record is where the concern sits. Forty-eight deficiencies on file, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 144 beds. Ask directly how that abuse citation was resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Yamato Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds in Boca Raton as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is stability: turnover of 24.6% is roughly half the national rate, which matters because aides and nurses who stay know the residents. Daily nurse staffing of 3.58 hours per resident sits a bit under the national 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinner than average on Saturdays and Sundays. The 29 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged for harm or abuse, but the last full inspection was in April 2023, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating suggests the survey history has been uneven. Ask about weekend coverage and what's changed since that visit.

Aviata At Coral Bay runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, about 9% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the bright spot: 27.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay, which matters for residents who need consistent hands. The state's inspection record is the problem. Thirty-eight deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $9,770 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. One recent inspection in April 2025 means that record is current.

The Rehabilitation Center of the Palm Beaches runs on a nonprofit model with 85 certified beds, and its staff retention is the standout number here, 20.7% annual turnover is less than half the national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stick around and know the residents. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The inspection record is fairly clean: 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, one fine of $6,900, and a survey as recent as March 2025.

Boca Raton Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is retention: 30.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. Staff tend to stay. Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident, though, roughly 15% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families visit most. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures score well; inspections are the weaker half of the picture. Ask what those 26 citations involved and how weekend coverage is handled on your mother's unit.

Medicana runs on thin margins in a couple of ways, but nothing alarming. Its 3.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, a gap families should ask about directly. Turnover tells a better story: 35.6% versus 45.8% nationally means workers tend to stay longer here than at the average home. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. A for-profit corporation owns all 116 beds.

Legacy at Boca Raton runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than is typical. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related; the last survey was in August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results sit mid-range, which is what holds this home back from the top tier.

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.

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.

Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29.5% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the ranks. What pulls the record down is inspections, 28 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $139,171 and a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5. The most recent inspection was July 2025.

Weekend staffing dips about 9% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 38%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and there are no abuse-related deficiencies on record. But the current inspection history shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $16,153. The last inspection was April 18, 2024.

Staff turnover of 32.4% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce is more stable than most. The quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5, but health inspection sits at 2 out of 5, a gap worth asking about directly.

Quality and staffing measure stars both come in at 4 out of 5, while health inspections sit at 2.

Pine Trail runs on 3.28 nursing hours per resident per day, about 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing doesn't drop off from its weekday level. The bigger concern is who's providing that care: 56.4% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection record is the weakest part of the picture, 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $16,800 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was December 20, 2024. Quality measures score well, but that's the piece families can't verify themselves. The for-profit LLC ownership structure adds no context beyond what the numbers already show.

Glades Health Care Center runs 120 beds in Pahokee under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins slightly when families tend to visit.

Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, the weakest part of the profile. What that means practically: adequate hands-on time, a survey history without serious harm findings, and some room to improve on clinical outcomes.
