This group set against every nursing home in Palm Beach County, Florida, from the current CMS release.
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.
Aviata At Greenacres runs 120 certified beds in Palm Beach County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.35 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. 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.
Palm Garden Of West Palm Beach runs 176 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.53 per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. 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.
Palm Beach Nursing Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 3% thinner than weekdays. The current inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy; six fines total $44,771 against a last inspection date of January 8, 2026. 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.
Lake Worth Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is the harder read: 26 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with one fine of $26,685 and a most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality and staffing measure stars both come in at 4 out of 5, while health inspections sit at 2.
The Nursing Center at La Posada runs 40 certified beds in Palm Beach Gardens under for-profit individual ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, so the weekday numbers are the stronger part of that story. Inspections turned up 9 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit on October 30, 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, and staffing, land at 3 out of 5.
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.
Avante At Lake Worth runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that relative stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $28,275. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025.
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.
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.
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.
