Pruitthealth - Fleming Island runs 97 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, and CMS gives 4 stars each for staffing and quality measures. The inspection record is the harder read: 7 deficiencies, 3 at harm or jeopardy level, 1 abuse-related, plus 3 fines totaling $16,153. The most recent inspection was April 15, 2026.

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.

The Lodge, a 99-bed for-profit in Ocala, runs on thin nurse coverage: 3.72 hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. State inspectors cited 21 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and fined the home $17,737. Staff turnover lands at 44.6%, essentially the national rate, so the problem isn't churn so much as how few hands are scheduled. The quality measure score of 5 out of 5 means resident outcome data look strong on paper, but a 2-out-of-5 inspection history and 2-out-of-5 staffing rating carry more weight when you're deciding where a family member actually lives day to day.

Aviata At Saint Lucie runs 171 certified beds in Fort Pierce under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the thing to look at first. The current file shows 66 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating reflects that. Two fines totaling $65,361 are on record, with the most recent inspection dated March 2025. Staffing is more mixed. At 3.82 nurse hours per resident day it sits just under the national average of 3.86, and weekends fall about 6% below its own weekday level. Turnover of 37% is better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5.

Parkview runs 3.61 nurse hours per resident each day, about 6% under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 56.1% against a national 45.8%, so nearly six in ten staff left within the year, a churn rate that makes consistent care harder to hold onto. The inspection picture is steadier: 14 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2025. That combination, solid clinical quality measures and a clean harm record, paired with thin weekend coverage and high turnover, is what puts it in the middle of the pack rather than at the top.

Avante At Ormond Beach runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, and the 63% turnover rate is the number that should stick with you, well above the national average, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are often new to the building. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, so care can feel different depending on when you visit. The good news: 16 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and inspectors were in the building in March 2025. The 133-bed for-profit home scores well on quality measures but its staffing rating is where the weakness sits.

Aviata At North Fort Myers runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in around 3.47 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 8% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 41.6%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where the concern concentrates: 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with three fines totaling $14,120. A CMS health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 reflects that pattern, while quality measures score 5 and staffing 3. The last inspection was April 9, 2026.

Palm Garden of Gainesville runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell the clearest story: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. That 62.6% annual turnover is the number I'd ask about directly, it's well above the 45.8% national figure, and steady caregivers matter more than almost anything else. The good news is real: zero deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and a clean inspection record as recent as May 2025. Twenty-seven total deficiencies with nothing serious among them suggests paperwork and process issues rather than danger to residents.

Parklands Care Center and Rehab runs 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7 percent below its own weekday staffing. The bigger flag is turnover: 61.3 percent of nursing staff leaving annually, against a national average of 45.8 percent, which makes it hard to keep consistent caregivers on the floor. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in April 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 120 certified beds.

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.

Vivo Healthcare Orange Park runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 4 percent below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 53.5 percent against a national 45.8, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none tied to abuse. Inspections were last completed in November 2024. Quality measures score well and inspections are decent, but the staffing picture is the one worth weighing hardest if your family member needs consistent daily hands-on care.

Lake Port Square runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, so daily coverage in Leesburg looks adequate on paper. The catch is consistency: weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, and staff turnover sits at 51.2%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure. The 28 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, that matters, but a state inspection in June 2026 means findings are recent, not dated. For-profit LLC ownership and three-out-of-five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing round out a home that's neither failing nor standing out.

Davenport Nursing and Rehab Center runs 60 certified beds under a for-profit limited liability company, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.25 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 4% below the home's own weekday coverage, and staff turnover is 46.3%, a hair above the national 45.8%, so continuity of caregivers is about typical rather than a strength. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single fine of $8,172. Its last inspection was January 29, 2026, and its quality measure score is strong even as staffing and inspection results land mid-range.

Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 60 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, two deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, and a survey completed in July 2025. Staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday numbers, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover at 34.5% actually beats the national 45.8%. The weaker spot is the quality measure score, which sits near the bottom. Clean inspections, average-ish staffing, mixed clinical outcomes.

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.

Weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 24.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a steadier crew than most. Inspections are a different story: 41 deficiencies on the current record, four fines totaling $19,186, and a two-star health inspection rating despite strong marks on quality measures and staffing. The most recent inspection was November 2025.

Lake Bennet runs lean on nursing hours, 3.51 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so a Saturday shift isn't the same as a Tuesday one. The inspection record is the bigger concern: sixteen deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and a $74,744 fine. That combination explains the 2-out-of-5 inspection rating despite a 5-out-of-5 on quality measures, which come from resident assessments rather than surveyor findings. Turnover at 24.2% is genuinely low by national standards, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 120 beds, and the pattern suggests asking direct questions about weekend coverage and how those abuse citations were resolved.

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.

Middleburg Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs about 3.67 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thin weekend margin matters more than the headline number, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 46.7%, just above the national 45.8%, so the staff you meet may not be there in a year. On the positive side, the home's last inspection was January 15, 2026, and its eight deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. A for-profit corporation owns it. The inspection record is clean for a 120-bed home. The staffing pattern is where families should ask questions.

Coastal Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Daytona Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership. The nursing staff works 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below the home's own weekday numbers, a gap families often feel on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors were last on site in April 2025 and turned up 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, so ask how that was resolved. The four-star inspection and quality ratings suggest care is generally sound when surveyors look, but the two-star staffing picture is what drives the grade down.
