Palm Garden of Jacksonville runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday pace, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 47%, a touch above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on August 28, 2025, and all three CMS star ratings, health inspection, quality measures, staffing, land at 3 out of 5. Nothing here is alarming on its own; together they describe a home that's adequate but not strong on direct care hours.

Vivo Healthcare Normandy runs on thinner staffing than most homes, 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 7% lighter than weekdays. That helps explain the 2-star staffing rating, and turnover of 54.9% means more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score is strong, and the 14 deficiencies on record carry no harm or abuse findings, so nothing here suggests danger. But a for-profit LLC with a 3-star inspection rating and a recent December 2025 survey is a home where your main question should be who's actually on the floor on a Saturday.

Vivo Healthcare Meadows runs 120 beds in Sarasota under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends running about 8% thinner than its own weekdays. Annual turnover is 51.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people who do show up keep changing. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 34 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, and a one-star health inspection rating, though no abuse citations. Quality measures score well and the last inspection was October 2024. Ask about weekend coverage and which specific deficiencies were cited before deciding.

Jacksonville Nursing and Rehab Center runs 163 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below the home's own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover hits 50%, above the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses cycling through is a real consideration. On the plus side, the last inspection was recent (May 2025) and turned up 8 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with strong marks on quality measures.

Life Care Center of Hilliard runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in Nassau County, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover is worth a hard look: 55.4% against a national 45.8% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, so consistent caregivers are hard to count on. The 12 deficiencies on record include three tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was April 2026. Quality and staffing marks are solid; the inspection side is where the questions live.

Greenville Nursing and Rehab Center runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes its size, 3.19 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 44%, right around the national figure, and the home has a clean record on serious deficiencies: 19 total citations, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with three fines adding up to $23,375. Its last inspection came in May 2026, and the three-star inspection rating reflects a survey history that's neither spotless nor alarming. For a 51-bed for-profit home under individual ownership, the picture is a place that stays in bounds without much staffing cushion.

Suwannee Valley Nursing Center runs 60 beds in Jasper under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest card it holds: a four-star health inspection score, last surveyed in March 2025, with 12 deficiencies on file and none rising to harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. Where it slips is staffing. At 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 9 percent under the national average, weekends drop about 9 percent below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 62.1 percent against a national 45.8. That churn matters more than the star rating suggests, caregivers cycling out that fast can undercut consistency even when inspections look clean.

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.

Winkler Court runs a lean ship on the floor: 3.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage sits behind a one-star health inspection record with 43 deficiencies logged, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine just shy of $179,000. What complicates the picture is that the same building scores five stars on quality measures and holds staff unusually well, 18.6% turnover against a national average near 46%. Read those together and it looks like a place where the clinical tracking is strong and the people stay, but the inspection history keeps saying the daily care isn't always safe.

Excel Care Center runs 120 beds in Tampa under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover is 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Even so, the home's quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, and its 22 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse. The last inspection was January 25, 2024, so the picture is fairly current. What you're weighing here is thin daily coverage against strong clinical measures and a clean harm record.

Life Care Center of Orange Park runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 7% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 46.8% edges just past the national 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member cycle through faster than average. The inspection record is the encouraging part: 8 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. Quality measures score well, but the low staffing rating is what pulls the overall picture down to a solid-if-unspectacular B.

Sun Harbor Healthcare runs 120 beds in Port Charlotte, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice: 3.40 nurse hours per resident per day, about 12% below the national average. Weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover sits at 49.1%, a bit above the national rate. The clinical quality scores come back strong, but that staffing rating doesn't match them. Eleven deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2024. Ownership is for-profit, individual. The quality measures look good on paper; the question is whether the day-to-day floor coverage holds up when families aren't watching.

Avante At Orlando runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends dip roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the weekday numbers tell a better story than Saturday and Sunday do. The current inspection record carries nine deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The last full inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent. Nothing here suggests a home in crisis, but that one harm-level finding is the item worth asking about directly before you decide.

Aviata At Lake Mary runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekdays. That thinner coverage shows up in its staffing rating. The quality measures look strong, but the inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2024. Turnover sits at 47%, a touch above the national figure. It's a for-profit LLC with 120 beds. The clinical numbers are better than the hands available to deliver them; ask how they cover weekends before you decide.

Avante At Ocala runs 133 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.43 per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 47%, just slightly above the national 45.8%. Those numbers line up with a 2/5 CMS staffing star, while the health inspection record shows a 1/5 star with 31 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The 4/5 quality measure star is the strongest number here, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. If staffing coverage is your priority, ask about weekend shifts specifically.

North Dade runs 245 beds and sits below the national staffing average, about 3.51 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends thinner still, roughly a tenth under its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 24.7% is genuinely low next to the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder part: 50 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $128,281 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 28, 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong quality scores and stable staff don't cancel out a citation history that serious.

The Club At Lake Gibson runs 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers. That thin margin shows up in staffing turnover too: 54.7% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly one in two caregivers left last year. Its health inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, though the last survey was January 2025. The quality star sits at 5 out of 5, but staffing and inspection stars both land at 2, and the gap between those ratings is worth asking about directly.

Lake Eustis Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.2 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend staffing barely changes from weekdays, so the thin coverage is consistent, not just a weekday problem. Staff turnover sits at 46%, essentially the national rate. What stands out is the gap between ratings: the five-star quality measure score looks strong, but the one-star health inspection rating and 19 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, tell a different story. Two fines totaling $17,345 are on record, and the last inspection was recent. For-profit, individually owned, 90 beds.

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.

Winter Haven Health And Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more than the star ratings suggest: 25 deficiencies sit on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and a single fine of $4,190 has been assessed. Staff turnover lands at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which is a real point in its favor. The last inspection was January 2024. Nonprofit ownership with a clean harm record and steady retention are genuine strengths, the staffing number is where families should focus their questions.
