Grand Boulevard Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 97 certified beds in Miramar Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers split down the middle. Inspections look solid, six deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a survey date of May 28, 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures hold up too. Staffing is where it thins out: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 8% below, with weekends running about 10% under its own weekday pace. That shortfall is what drags the staffing rating to 2 out of 5. If your family member needs steady hands on weekends especially, ask how the floor is covered then.

Graceville Health Center sits at 147 certified beds under for-profit individual ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean, three deficiencies on file, none reaching harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and a survey as recent as February 2026. The quality measure rating lands at 4 out of 5. Staffing is where the picture softens: 3.63 nurse hours per resident day trails the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays, a gap families should ask about directly. A 2-out-of-5 staffing star with solid inspections usually means the basics are handled but coverage isn't generous, so visit on a Saturday and watch how quickly call lights get answered.

Serious cites

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.

Beachside Center runs 239 beds in New Smyrna Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, four out of five stars, last surveyed in February 2026, with seven deficiencies on file and none reaching harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is there, though, and that's worth asking about directly. The bigger caveat is staffing: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover runs slightly above the national rate at 47.5%. Quality measures score well, but those depend on consistent hands-on care. Ask how they cover weekend shifts and what that abuse citation involved.

Melbourne Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 138 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its last health inspection in March 2025 turned up 22 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That inspection record is what pulls its CMS health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5, and it carries one fine totaling $40,132. Nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 4 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 40.9 percent, is actually a little better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but it doesn't offset the inspection findings.

Rockledge Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 107 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the staff who are there tend to stay. The 32 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. A recent April 2025 inspection and a 4/5 quality measure score help, but the 2/5 staffing and inspection ratings show where the gaps are.

Avante At Inverness sits in Citrus County with 104 certified beds, run by a for-profit corporation. Nurse staffing runs 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families often notice when visiting Saturday or Sunday. Turnover is 46.9%, slightly above the 45.8% national figure, meaning nearly half the nursing staff changes in a year. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the numbers lag.

Santa Rosa Center for Rehabilitation and Healing runs 110 certified beds in Milton under for-profit LLC ownership. Its staffing sits at 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday level, a gap families often feel when they visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover is 58.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are frequently new to the building. The record itself is cleaner: 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a December 2025 inspection.

Vivo Healthcare Sebring runs 104 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover of 48.9% runs a bit above the national 45.8%. The health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, with 28 deficiencies on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2024. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, so the clinical numbers families watch look strong even as staffing and inspection history pull the other way.

Aviata At Brooksville runs a for-profit operation with 120 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 33.7% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here stick around longer than at most homes. The tradeoff shows up in the record, 26 deficiencies, one serious enough to cause harm, plus a $39,780 fine. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current.

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.

Haines City Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are predictable. Turnover is the brighter spot: 34.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than elsewhere. The inspection record is the caution flag. Thirty-three deficiencies are on file, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three fines totaling $13,380. The last survey was November 2024. Quality measures land middle-of-the-road, and staffing earns a similar mark. Nothing here screams danger, just a home that runs leaner than average and has accumulated paperwork problems worth asking about directly.

Anchor Care runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, around 8% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing gap is the main reason the federal staffing rating sits at 2 out of 5, even though turnover at 42.5% is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure and inspections from June 2025 earned 4 out of 5 stars. The record shows 16 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, plus $14,852 in fines across two penalties. For-profit, LLC-owned, and licensed for 120 beds.

Ponce Therapy Care Center And Rehab runs about 3.32 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage is the main thing holding it back. Turnover sits at 43.8 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the home has a clean inspection record: nine deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. A for-profit corporation owns its 120 certified beds. So you're looking at a place that inspects well but staffs light, worth asking how that plays out on evenings and weekends.

Vero Beach Care Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes nationally, 3.43 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday staffing. That matters at a 159-bed for-profit corporate home, and the inspection record backs it up: 53 deficiencies, including two at the level where harm or jeopardy to residents was possible, plus one tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and turnover of 48.9% means many aides are still new to the building. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 shows the clinical care tracking looks better on paper than the staffing and inspection numbers suggest, which is worth asking about on a visit.

Venice Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Staff turnover is 49.6%, higher than the national 45.8%, so familiar faces are harder to keep. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $16,984 in fines and the last inspection in March 2024. Quality measure scores look strong, but the staffing and inspection side is where the concern lives.

Centre Pointe runs 4.16 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 43.8% is slightly better than the typical U.S. nursing home. Weekend coverage does thin out, running roughly 14% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The 13 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged as harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in January 2026. The quality measure score is the weak spot here, at 2 out of 5, worth asking which measures dragged it down before you decide.

Pompano Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 127 beds as a nonprofit, and its staff retention is genuinely better than most, 30.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay. That stability matters, but the raw staffing number doesn't keep pace: 3.37 nurse hours per resident day sits about 13% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday coverage. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was October 2025. Worth asking how the 2-star inspection history is being addressed and whether weekend coverage is actively being fixed.

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.

Oak View's inspection record is genuinely strong, a five-star health inspection rating and 14 deficiencies on the current record with none rising to harm or jeopardy. That's a clean paper trail, helped by a recent survey in February 2025. The catch is in the day-to-day labor. Nurses deliver 3.32 hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 48.4%, slightly above the national 45.8%. One abuse-related deficiency also appears on the record. So you're looking at a home that inspects well but runs lean, and lean staffing with high turnover is what families feel on a Tuesday night, not on a survey report.
