Evergreen Woods runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.34 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 39.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble shows up in inspections: a 2-star health inspection rating, 18 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level, and a $16,153 fine. A recent May 2025 survey means the findings are current, not stale. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but that paperwork strength doesn't offset thin coverage or the harm-level citation.
Healthcare And Rehab Of Sanford is a 114-bed nonprofit home in Seminole County, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story rather than an alarming one. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, which is the main weak spot here, weekend coverage dips only about 3% below weekdays, so the shortfall is consistent rather than a weekend problem. Staff turnover of 43.8% is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. Nothing here suggests danger; the tradeoff is thinner daily nursing hours than most homes.
Deerfield Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so Saturday and Sunday afternoons are when you'd want to visit and see for yourself. Staff retention is the brighter spot: 29.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning more familiar faces than you'd expect for a 194-bed nonprofit. Inspections in March 2025 left 26 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $36,089. Nothing on the record involves abuse. Ask about the two harm-level findings and how weekend coverage is actually staffed before deciding.
Alpine Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 57-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and its inspection record is the first thing to know: 25 deficiencies on the current record, one of them at the harm level, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey dated January 2026. Staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.9% against a 45.8% national rate, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 is the stronger part of the picture; the inspection history and thin coverage are the parts to ask about directly.
Sarasota Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 144 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 43.4% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so that part isn't the problem. The inspection record is: 23 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $230,102, with the last inspection in June 2024. CMS gives it one star for health inspections but four for quality measures and four for staffing, the quality and staffing numbers look stronger than the inspection history, and that gap is what matters here.
Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center of Tampa, a 174-bed nonprofit, carries 32 deficiencies on its current record, five of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus $231,152 in federal fines. The health inspection rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and the most recent inspection was in April 2025, recent enough that these findings reflect how the place operates now. Staffing is a mixed picture: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day runs about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Turnover, though, is 33.8% against a 45.8% national average, which suggests workers tend to stay. Weigh that stability against the harm-level citations before deciding.
Heather Hill runs a nonprofit home with 105 beds in New Port Richey, and its strongest suit is staffing: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, but turnover sits at 38.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here stick around longer than is typical. Weekends dip roughly 6% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The state inspection record is the weak spot: 25 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with the last survey in June 2024. Nothing abuse-related appears on file. A 2/5 inspection rating next to a 4/5 staffing rating tells you where to aim your questions.
Guardian Care runs 120 beds in Orlando under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 4 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 78.6 percent of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a $15,737 fine. Quality measures look relatively strong by comparison, but that staffing churn and inspection record are the things worth asking about directly.
Abbey Rehabilitation And Nursing Center is a 132-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurses provide 3.22 hours per resident per day, about 17 percent under the national average, with weekends running thinner still, and staff turnover sits at 52.7 percent, meaning roughly half the caregivers leave within a year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 32 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and $139,355 in fines, against a one-star health inspection rating. A four-star staffing score and three-star quality measures don't offset that, especially with the most recent inspection in April 2026.
If you're weighing Rehab & Healthcare Center of Cape Coral, the numbers put two different pictures side by side. The clinical quality measures that track things like pain and mobility come in well above average, and there's no record of a deficiency causing actual harm to a resident. But the people delivering that care are stretched thin, 3.25 nurse hours per resident each day runs about 16% under the national average, weekend coverage dips a further 6%, and half the staff turned over in the past year, a bit above the national rate. That combination usually shows up as inconsistency, not catastrophe. A single abuse-related deficiency and roughly $32,000 in fines across three citations round out a record that's more uneven than alarming.
Bear Creek runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover is 55.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are changing often. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $37,198 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was March 2024. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but the health inspection side sits at 2, and those two numbers rarely tell the same story.
Aviata At Orange Park runs on 3.35 nursing hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage slips roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 56.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which matters because replacements spend their first weeks learning residents they'll soon leave. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated November 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. If you're weighing this one, ask how weekends are covered and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.
Bartow Center runs on 3.20 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 4% below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters in a 120-bed home, and it shows up in the numbers: 50% annual turnover, higher than the 45.8% national figure, plus 17 deficiencies on the current record. None of those reached harm or jeopardy, and there are no abuse findings, so the problems are mostly paperwork and process rather than immediate danger. The two fines total $8,034. The last inspection was July 30, 2024, so the record is reasonably current, what you're seeing is a home that isn't failing badly, just not staffing or performing like the average.
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.
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.
South Heritage runs about 17% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.19 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 3% beneath its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, well above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. On inspections, the record shows 31 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $145,109 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2025.
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.
Bartram Crossing sits in Jacksonville with 100 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Staffing is where it stands out: 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, with weekend coverage only about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover runs 28.4% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are staying put more than elsewhere. The trouble is inspections. Thirteen deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and the last visit was March 2026. Your family gets consistent daily care here, but the safety record is thin.
Orlando Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 391-bed nonprofit home where the staffing numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 3.37 hours per resident each day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends run slightly leaner than weekdays, but turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder problem: 67 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 6 tied to abuse, with a $65,951 fine and a June 2025 inspection. One star for health inspections against four for staffing is an unusual split, and it's worth asking what those abuse citations involved before you decide.
