How Medicaid-certified homes in Palm Beach County, Florida compare
This group set against every nursing home in Palm Beach County, Florida, from the current CMS release.
Royal Palm Beach Health and Rehabilitation runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, with weekends running about 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.1% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single $4,156 fine. State inspectors last visited in May 2025.
Boca Circle Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 40%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $31,736 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. Quality measures score well; the survey history is where the problems concentrate.
West Delray runs 3.46 nursing hours per resident day, about ten percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly six percent below its own weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the national 45.8%, which suggests some steadiness in the workforce. The inspection record is the harder part: 40 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $39,841, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the day-to-day supervision the state cited.
The Luxe At Jupiter runs on a for-profit partnership model, and the numbers don't line up neatly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average and thinner on weekends, while half the staff turns over every year, worse than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. Those are manageable problems compared to the inspection record: 51 deficiencies, four serious enough to endanger residents, three tied to abuse, and five fines adding up to $201,434. The most recent state visit was April 2025, so the findings are current, not stale history. Good marks on quality measures don't offset a pattern like that. If you're considering this one, ask specifically what changed since that inspection.
Westgate runs lean on nursing hours: 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar caregivers miss subtle changes. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, a single flag worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the gap shows.
Jupiter Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the sharper signal: 58.4% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers cycle through faster than most homes. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on July 10, 2025. Federal ratings split here, quality measures score well, staffing and inspections do not.
Staffing at Luxe At Wellington Rehabilitation Center lands right at the national average, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, essentially a rounding difference from 3.86, but weekends dip about 8% below what the home runs on weekdays, so the coverage your family sees Monday may not be what shows up Saturday. The bigger issue is turnover: 59.2% of nursing staff leave within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and that churn is hard to hide at the bedside. Thirty deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a $58,835 fine and a September 2024 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong, but inspection and staffing scores don't match it.
Prosper Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds in Palm Beach Gardens under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 51.9%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level; five fines total $45,604, with the most recent inspection in April 2024. Staffing and health inspection each scored 2 out of 5 stars, while quality measures earned 3.
Darcy Hall of Life Care runs 220 certified beds in West Palm Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing star and 27.2% turnover that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections, where it holds a 1/5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus a $30,924 fine and a January 2025 inspection. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide.
Aviata At West Palm Beach runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 6% leaner than its own weekdays. That gap shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, plus $33,790 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this is current, not stale history. Staff turnover of 36.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 1/5 inspection rating, worth asking what's behind that split.
