Staff turnover

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.

Nurse staffing at this Clewiston home runs about 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop another 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 33.3%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the concern lies: 16 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $33,248 fine, with the last inspection on April 11, 2024. For-profit corporate ownership. The quality and staffing star ratings look solid on paper, but those 16 deficiencies deserve a direct conversation with the administrator before you decide.

Claridge House runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. The trade-off shows up in retention: 23.2% turnover is about half the national rate, so the same caregivers tend to stay. What pulls the record down is oversight, 31 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $24,850 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned, 240 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how those two harm-level issues were resolved.

Palm Garden of Ocala runs 180 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 51.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because replacements cost familiarity. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse, and fines total $8,512. The last full inspection was June 12, 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection numbers are where the caution sits.

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.

Northdale Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed for-profit run by a corporation, and the numbers suggest a home that's decent but not exceptional on the care side. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% leaner than weekdays, so if your family visits on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. Turnover at 41.8% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was in May 2024. Quality measures rate well; staffing and inspections land in the middle.

Arbor Trail runs 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the 3.86 national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage is worth asking about directly, since it's when families often visit and when problems can surface. Turnover sits at 42.3%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2025. Quality measures score well, and the for-profit limited liability ownership means you'll want to know who's actually running day-to-day care.

Solaris Healthcare Osceola sits in Saint Cloud with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. The nursing hours tell a mixed story: 3.54 per resident day runs about 8% under the national 3.86 average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot at 38.8%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests staff tend to stay. Inspections look solid at 4 stars with a recent November 2024 visit, but five deficiencies remain on record, including one at the harm level, plus two fines totaling $19,036.

Tiffany Hall runs 120 beds in Port St. Lucie under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 30% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record is where the concern sits, 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $46,976 fine and a February 2025 inspection. Quality measures score well, but that paperwork record and below-average daily staffing are the real story.

Atlantic Shores runs 120 beds in Melbourne under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift isn't quite the same as a Tuesday. Turnover lands at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because fewer departures usually means more consistent caregivers. The inspection record is the steadiest part: 15 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in September 2024 and four-star ratings on both health inspections and quality measures.

Villa Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 3.42 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 38.9 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was September 2025, and the 4-star health inspection and 5-star quality measure ratings stand out against a middling 3-star staffing score. It's a for-profit, individually owned 120-bed home in Deland, and the pattern reads as a place that's generally clean on care quality but runs leaner on direct nursing hours than average.

Isle Healthcare runs 108 beds in Orange Park under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 38.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections in May 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and a single fine of $43,664. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and that harm-level citation are what pull the overall picture down. Worth asking about weekend coverage and what changed after the last survey.

Hawthorne Center runs on leaner weekday nurse coverage than the typical U.S. nursing home, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday level, so the quietest shifts get the thinnest staffing. What stands out more is retention: 23.8% annual turnover is roughly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' baselines. The inspection record is strong, with a 5/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey completed in May 2026, though the current file still carries 8 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $8,512. For-profit LLC ownership.

Arcadia Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 170 beds in Pensacola under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating, with seven deficiencies on the current record and none of them tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. The catch is staffing: 3.76 nurse hours per resident day sits just below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 13 percent thinner than weekdays. So the care that regulators observed was solid, but the hands available on a Saturday afternoon won't match a Tuesday morning. If your family member needs consistent daily attention, ask how weekend coverage is actually scheduled.

Marianna Health and Rehabilitation is a 180-bed for-profit home in Jackson County with a clean inspection record, five deficiencies total, none at the harm level, and no abuse citations. That's backed by a 5-star health inspection rating and a recent survey from June 2026. The catch is staffing: 3.60 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Quality measures land at 4 stars. Bottom line: a well-inspected home where the main question is whether the daily staffing floor holds up on Saturdays and Sundays.

Kendall Lakes runs on more nurse hours than most homes in the country, 4.11 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday pace, so a Saturday shift isn't staffed like a Tuesday. The inspection record is genuinely clean: 11 deficiencies logged, none at the level where a resident was harmed or put in jeopardy, nothing tied to abuse, and the last full survey came in August 2025. This is a for-profit corporate home with 150 certified beds, and its staffing star sits lower than its inspection and quality scores for a reason, the weekday average carries the number, and the weekend dip is where families should ask questions.

North Beach Healthcare runs about 3.47 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday levels. The inspection record is the real problem: 35 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $104,283 fine, and the most recent inspection was February 2026, so that record is current, not old. What keeps this from being a total write-off is the staff itself. Turnover sits at 25% against a national average near 46%, which means the people showing up are, at least, staying.

Fort Walton Rehabilitation Center, a 120-bed for-profit in Fort Walton Beach, earned a clean inspection record, five deficiencies, none causing harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse, and its most recent survey was in June 2025. The tougher reading is in the workforce: nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends running about 9% lighter than weekdays and turnover at 50.5% against a 45.8% national figure. So you have strong survey results propped up by a thinner, less stable staff than average. Worth asking how the home covers a Saturday night and how long its current director of nursing has been in place.

Lake Montgomery runs 95 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.65 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 8% thinner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which tells you aides and nurses are cycling through fairly quickly. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was recent, in July 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land in the middle. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the thin weekend coverage and high turnover are the numbers worth asking about directly.

Creekside runs 178 beds in Sarasota under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national figure of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover runs 51.3% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses your relative sees may change often. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last state visit was February 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well, staffing is middling, and inspections are the weak spot.
