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.

Vivo Healthcare Wauchula runs about 11% leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. The turnover picture runs the other way: 34.4% annual staff turnover sits well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Inspectors logged 23 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in June 2024. Its health inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5; quality measures come in at 3.

Avante At Lake Worth runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that relative stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $28,275. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025.

Longwood Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is genuinely better than most, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. The trouble is what that staffing is working around. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $16,801 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 56.2%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people delivering that above-average care are cycling out fast. The last inspection was October 2025.

Siesta Key Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Sarasota under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip about 3% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, 8 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and a single fine of $317,977. Quality and staffing each earned 4 stars from CMS, but the last inspection was August 2024.

Highlands Lake Center runs 179 beds in Lakeland under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 7 percent below its own weekday levels. That thinner coverage shows up against a 53.5 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people providing care are changing often. The current record carries 32 deficiencies from a March 2024 inspection, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, which matters. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 suggests outcomes look better than the staffing and inspection numbers alone would predict, but consistent hands-on coverage is the thing to ask about directly.

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.

The inspection record is the first thing you'd want to know about: 28 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. CMS gives the health inspection side of this home one star out of five. Staffing is also thin, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% below weekdays, so your Saturday coverage looks lighter than the weekday schedule suggests. Annual turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate. It's a 45-bed for-profit, last inspected in July 2024. The quality measures come in mid-range at three stars, but that's the part of the record least supported by the rest.

Gulf Shore Care Center runs 120 certified beds in Pinellas Park under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. 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.

Aspire At Evans runs about 14% below the national average on nurse staffing, at 3.31 hours per resident day, and weekends dip further below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is one of the few numbers here that isn't working against it. The inspection record is the real weight: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 38 deficiencies including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus $50,028 in fines across three penalties. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how those harm-level citations were resolved.

Aviata At Shoal Creek runs 120 beds in Crestview under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the part I'd want you to sit with. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 54.5%, nearly nine points above the national figure, so the aides and nurses in the building keep changing. The inspection record is more settled: 14 deficiencies on file, including four at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, though the most recent look was January 2026. Quality measures score well. Ask about weekend coverage and who's actually on the floor.

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.

Nurse staffing here runs about 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, and that's the strongest thing the home has going for it. The catch is consistency: weekends run about 12% lighter than weekdays, and annual turnover sits at 53.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is the weaker half of the picture, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 28 deficiencies, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in January 2025. Quality measures score 4 out of 5. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 68-bed home.

Pruitthealth - Panama City runs 101 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely solid, a 4/5 health inspection rating with seven total deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is staffing. At 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 49.5% against a 45.8% national figure. One of those seven deficiencies is abuse-related. Quality measures also score 4/5, so the care being tracked looks fine on paper; the question is whether thin weekend staffing and steady turnover keep it that way, especially with an April 2025 inspection already behind it.

Apopka Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated January 29, 2026. CMS rates its health inspections 3 out of 5 and its quality measures 4 out of 5, so the clinical picture reads steadier than the staffing and compliance numbers do.

Bridgeview Center runs 3.37 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 13 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10 percent below its own weekday levels. So if you're visiting on a Saturday or Sunday, expect thinner coverage than the weekday numbers suggest. That low staffing shows up in the staffing star rating, which comes in at 1 out of 5 even as quality measures score 5 out of 5 and health inspections score 4 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in December 2024. The for-profit limited liability ownership is worth keeping in mind when you ask how they plan to close that staffing gap.

Aviata At The Harbor runs 120 certified beds in Safety Harbor under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday levels, which matters when families visit and needs don't pause. 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.

Island Lake Center runs 120 certified beds in Longwood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, a 5/5 from CMS there, but nurse staffing lands at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall is the main reason CMS gives it 2/5 on staffing. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 26, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. Fewer hands per resident is the thing to ask about directly when you visit.

Seaside Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 192 certified beds in Daytona Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, nine deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2024. Where the numbers get shakier is staffing. At 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, weekends run roughly 8% lighter than its own weekdays, and annual turnover of 64.9% is well above the 45.8% national figure. Consistent inspection results help, but thin weekend coverage and heavy staff churn are the things families end up feeling day to day.

Avante At Mt Dora runs 116 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover comes in at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce even if raw hours run light. Eighteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated December 4, 2025. Inspectors have cited problems, but nothing rising to actual resident harm.
