Life Care Center of Jacksonville runs on a corporate for-profit model with 120 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: three deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or involving abuse, with the most recent state visit in September 2024. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Sunday. Annual turnover of 43.8% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which matters for whether you see the same aides from one shift to the next. Strong inspection and quality scores, thinner weekend hands.

Aviata At Harts Harbor runs 180 certified beds in Jacksonville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection history shows 25 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse. That's a mixed picture worth asking about directly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The better news: staff turnover is 33%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable workforce than many peers. Its last inspection was April 2026, so the record is recent.

Park Ridge Nursing Center runs on a for-profit LLC model with 104 certified beds in Jacksonville. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, about 4 percent above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 11 percent below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover is 49.5 percent, higher than the national 45.8 percent, so continuity of caregivers is a fair question to raise. On the inspection side, the record shows four deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. That combination, solid clinical marks, clean inspection history, but meaningful turnover, is what a family should weigh when deciding.

Cypress Village is a for-profit corporation running 100 certified beds in Jacksonville, and its staffing is the strongest part of the picture: 5.07 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national average. That said, weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so ask how coverage holds up on a Saturday. The health inspection record is clean where it matters, seven deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current. Staff turnover of 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national average, though still means roughly two in five caregivers left within a year.

Cedar Hill runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Jacksonville, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 4% thinner than weekdays. That said, turnover of 30.8% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The record shows 11 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $21,921 dollars. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Weaker inspections against decent quality scores usually means care planning looks fine on paper while daily staffing tells a different story.

Woodland Grove passed its most recent inspection in January 2025 with a clean record on serious harm, five deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is on the books, which is worth asking about directly. The staffing side is where the picture softens: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover of 47.9% edges past the national rate. A corporation owns the 120-bed home, so aide coverage will shift with their hiring. Ask how they fill weekend gaps and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.

First Coast Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes in the country, about 3.07 hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below what the building staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits near 49%, a few points above the national figure, so the people caring for residents change often. What keeps this nonprofit's record relatively clean is that its 12 deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings, and its last inspection was recent, in January 2026. If your family member needs steady hands-on help, ask how the lower weekday-to-weekend staffing plays out on the shifts you'd actually visit.

North Bank Center runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in Jacksonville, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 45.9%, essentially matching the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 15 deficiencies on file, but none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a recent September 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, though staffing is the weaker pillar here.

Lanier Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit LLC home with 120 beds in Jacksonville, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. Nurses provide 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 57.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The good news: 11 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a recent February 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well; the trade-off is consistency of care.

The Pavilion At Jacksonville runs 60 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, and staff turnover is 55.4% against a national average of 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is a real question here. The good news: 11 deficiencies on record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and a recent inspection from March 2026. Quality measures score well, though inspectors' health findings land mid-range. Ask about weekend shift coverage and how often residents see the same nurses.

Fouraker Hills runs about 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday coverage. That thinner weekend crew matters most when families visit and when residents need help at meals and transfers. The record shows 20 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, which is a lot to carry even with a 3/5 inspection rating and a January 2025 survey. The quality measure score of 4/5 looks strong on paper, but quality measures reflect a narrow set of clinical targets, not daily hands-on care. For-profit LLC ownership with a 2/5 staffing rating means the numbers here come down to whether you can visit on weekends and see the floor for yourself.

Palm Garden of Jacksonville runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday pace, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 47%, a touch above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on August 28, 2025, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, land at 3 out of 5. Nothing here is alarming on its own; together they describe a home that's adequate but not strong on direct care hours.

Vivo Healthcare Normandy runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 7% lighter than weekdays. That helps explain the 2-star staffing rating, and turnover of 54.9% means more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score is strong, and the 14 deficiencies on record carry no harm or abuse findings, so nothing here suggests danger. But a for-profit LLC with a 3-star inspection rating and a recent December 2025 survey is a home where your main question should be who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Jacksonville Nursing and Rehab Center runs 163 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses cycling through is a real consideration. On the plus side, the last inspection was recent (May 2025) and turned up 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with strong marks on quality measures.

Regents Park of Jacksonville runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture: 11 deficiencies on file, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, with a survey completed in May 2025. Staffing is where it slips. At 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% lighter than its own weekdays. Turnover lands at 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so the same faces are more likely to stay, but the day-to-day coverage is thinner than average.

Avante Villa At Jacksonville Beach runs 165 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection came in September 2024, recent enough that the 14 deficiencies on record are current, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 6% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Staff turnover of 48.4% runs a few points above the national 45.8%, meaning a meaningful share of caregivers are still new to the building. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspection results are more middle of the road.

That gap shows up in turnover too: 66.4% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage dips about 3% below the home's own weekday level. The current record lists 20 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 30, 2026.

Weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 47.1%, a touch above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces are routine. Inspectors were last in on January 9, 2025, and the current record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and none tied to abuse, plus a single $34,778 fine. The 2/5 inspection rating reflects that record; staffing and quality measures each came in at 3/5.

Aviata At Jacksonville runs a 116-bed for-profit home where nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops about 6% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 57.7% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so familiar faces are not a given. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $4,778. State surveyors were last in on December 11, 2025, and the home holds mid-range marks across health inspection, quality measures, and staffing.

Lakeside Center runs 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating, eight deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a recent survey from October 2025. Where it slips is staffing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and its staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5. Weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 61% against a national 45.8%. Good inspections, thinner day-to-day coverage, worth asking about direct-care hours on weekends before deciding.
