Staff turnover
17%
Serious cites
0

Waters Edge runs 5.39 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 40% more than the national average, and its weekend staffing dips only about 7% below weekdays, a small gap compared to many homes. Staff turnover is 16.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers learn residents' routines. The 9 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. At 36 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, it's small enough that staffing numbers reflect daily reality, not a large building's averages. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 5 out of 5.

Willowbrooke Court runs 4.66 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 21% above the national average, and its weekend staffing barely dips, only about 4% below weekday levels, which is unusual. Staff turnover sits at 11.6% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home carries four deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in March 2025. It's a 60-bed nonprofit in Boca Raton, and the numbers point to steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.

Vi at Aventura runs 5.03 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly a third more than the typical American nursing home, and its staff turnover sits at 15.6% against a national average near 46%. That combination, more hands and far fewer people leaving, is uncommon. Weekend staffing dips about 7% below weekday levels, a normal pattern, and seven deficiencies on record with none at harm level and none tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was September 2025. It's a small, for-profit corporate home: 40 certified beds, five stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing alike.

Renaissance At The Terraces runs on unusually deep staffing for a 40-bed nonprofit in Bonita Springs, 5.94 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 54% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 16.3% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The trade-off shows up in inspections: a 3-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with nine deficiencies on record, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was July 2024, so the picture is current. Quality measures score 4 out of 5.

Westminster Baldwin Park runs about 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 14% below its own weekday level, which matters because weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly fall apart. Annual turnover sits at 20% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows eight deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. This is a 40-bed nonprofit, and the numbers suggest steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.

Life Care Center of Altamonte Springs runs 228 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with turnover at 33.6% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay longer here than at most homes. Weekends thin out about 11% from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concerns sit: 27 deficiencies on the current record, 8 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, 3 tied to abuse, and one $83,493 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the findings are recent, and the 1-star health inspection rating reflects that. Strong quality measure scores don't cancel out a citation history like this.

Okeechobee Health Care Facility runs 210 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers here are genuinely strong: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 23% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than almost anything else for consistent daily care. Weekend staffing dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2024.

Springtree runs on unusually steady ground. Nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and only 13.3% of staff left last year against a national turnover rate near 46%, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets handled. The 13 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in May 2024. It's a for-profit LLC, so worth asking who owns it and how long they've held it.

Spring Lake Rehabilitation Center runs on 4.61 nurse hours per resident day, about 20% more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover is 28.8% against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention shows up in consistency of care. Weekend staffing dips roughly 13% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and it was last inspected in February 2025.

Plaza West runs on strong staffing numbers. At 4.98 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 29% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 21.4% is roughly half the national figure, that kind of retention usually means residents see familiar faces.

The tradeoff is inspections: a 2/5 health inspection rating and 19 deficiencies on record, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related.

Vi at Lakeside Village runs 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 44% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion, not a marginal one, and it's the main reason this home stands out. Just as telling: annual turnover sits at 12.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents mostly stay put, which matters more than any single inspection score. Weekend staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Ten deficiencies are on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 2026, recent enough to trust.

Bentley Care Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a for-profit home, 6.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly two-thirds above the national average, and turnover sits at 31%, well under the typical 46%. That combination is the main reason it scores as well as it does. The softer spots are worth knowing about: weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday levels, and the last health inspection turned up 17 deficiencies, though none involved actual harm or abuse. Inspectors were last in the building in November 2024. The two-star inspection rating says the paperwork and physical plant have had problems; the five-star staffing rating says someone is usually there when a resident needs help.

What offsets that thinness is retention: annual turnover of 33.6% beats the 45.8% national figure, which suggests care here isn't constantly being delivered by strangers.

Westminster Woods On Julington Creek runs a tight ship. Sixty beds in Jacksonville, nonprofit-owned, and zero deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with its last inspection in November 2024.

Federal ratings put inspections and quality measures at the top of the scale. For a family weighing options, this is about as clean a record as you'll find.
