Regency Oaks Health Center sits in Clearwater with 60 certified beds and for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing runs 4.28 hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Those numbers support the staffing picture, and the quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5. The inspection record tells a different story. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, five at harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2024. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, so the daily care metrics look strong while the survey history carries real weight.

Staff turnover

Westchester Gardens runs 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, so staffing is adequate but not generous, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The 45% annual turnover lands right at the national figure, so continuity of caregivers is about typical. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 stars while inspections and staffing each sit at 3, a split that suggests good clinical outcomes but a survey history with room to improve.

East Bay Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Clearwater under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.87 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 10% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 44.8%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2024. Quality measures score well, and the staffing rating is solid. What holds the overall picture back is a middling health inspection result and that weekend dip.

Bay Pointe Nursing Pavilion runs about 3.30 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 6% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 50.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the hands-on care picture is thinner than average and the workforce turns over faster than most. The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers suggest: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from a January 2024 survey. Quality measures score well. For a 120-bed for-profit, the real question is whether low staffing and high turnover catch up to the clinical record over time.

Bayside Care Center runs 92 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 34.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $3,728 fine and a recent March 2026 survey. Quality and staffing both earned 4 stars from CMS; health inspections came in at 3.

North Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 45-bed for-profit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Against that, turnover is 30.2%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.

Willowbrooke Court sits in Dunedin with 100 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and the numbers here are mostly steady. Nurse staffing runs 4.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits or needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 41.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it matters: five deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2024.

Advanced Care Center runs 120 certified beds in Clearwater under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 9% under the national average at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 51.4% tops the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey dates to December 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land in the middle. Families weighing this home should ask directly about weekend coverage and how quickly caregivers cycle through.

Apollo Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 99 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 5% leaner than weekdays. That thin margin matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Turnover is 44.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure but still high enough that familiar faces aren't guaranteed. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2024. Where this home stands out is its 5/5 quality measure rating; its inspection rating is 2/5, and staffing lands at 3/5.

Aviata At Countryside runs about 10% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 3.47 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news sits in the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last state visit in September 2024. Staff turnover of 37.1% beats the national 45.8%, suggesting people stay longer here than at the typical home. Quality and staffing both earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; inspections came in at 3.

Freedom Square runs 4.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, and that shows up in its four-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Its 18 deficiencies include one at the harm level, though none are abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was February 2024. Turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially identical to the national average, so this is a corporate-owned home with real staffing depth but a middling inspection record.

Meadowpark runs on thinner staffing than most places, 3.51 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 7% below its own weekday levels. That matters more than the quality scores, which look strong on paper, because care happens on nights and weekends too. The 56.6% turnover rate is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the aides and nurses at the bedside are still learning the building. Nineteen deficiencies were cited, none involving harm or abuse, and the last full inspection was December 2023, so that record is current. The state's quality measures shine; the workforce underneath them is where the risk sits.

Palm Garden of Clearwater runs 165 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the problem: 23 deficiencies on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is why CMS gives it a single star for health inspections despite a strong showing on quality measures. Staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays and turnover at 51.4% against a national 45.8%. The last inspection was in February 2025, and two fines total $17,345. The clinical numbers look good; the oversight record and the churn behind the bedside care are what pull this one down.

Lexington Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 159 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $17,345 fine; the last survey was July 2025. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 2/5 on inspections and 2/5 on staffing.

Tarpon Bayou Center runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.16 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday numbers, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays. What stands out in a good way is the 23.1% turnover rate, roughly half the national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The 24 deficiencies on record include none involving harm or abuse, and the single fine of $10,170 is modest for a 114-bed home. The one-star inspection rating reflects a rough survey history, last visited in April 2024, even as the quality and staffing marks land at three stars each.

Sabal Palms runs 244 beds in Largo under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The concern is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey from July 2024. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 3/5. Families should ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved and what weekend coverage looks like in practice.

Weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most homes manage. Inspections in March 2026 turned up 20 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The staffing and inspection ratings land mid-range at 3 stars each, while quality measures reach 4.

The 96-bed for-profit home on the Pinellas County side of St. Petersburg carries a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 40 deficiencies on its current record, four of them abuse-related, none at the harm or jeopardy level. That's a heavy paper trail, and the most recent inspection came in July 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families visit. The number that stands out most is turnover: 70% annually against a national 45.8%. Nearly three-quarters of the nursing staff leaving in a year is a lot of churn around residents who need consistency.

The 25 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related finding, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was August 2024. What stands out is the split: the 5/5 quality measure score looks strong, but a 2/5 inspection rating and 1/5 staffing rating tell a different story about day-to-day coverage.

The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with seven fines totaling $31,051 and a survey completed in September 2024. Three stars each on inspections, quality measures, and staffing, with no serious safety findings on file.
