Solaris Healthcare Forest Lake runs 222 certified beds in Apopka under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends running about 4% lighter than its own weekdays. That thin margin matters more than it looks, because weekend coverage is where shortfalls tend to show up. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.5% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests workers are staying longer than at the typical home. Nine deficiencies are on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $15,269 has been levied. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.

Evergreen Woods runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.34 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below what the building staffs Monday through Friday. Turnover sits at 39.8%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The trouble shows up in inspections: a 2-star health inspection rating, 18 deficiencies on the current record including one at the harm level, and a $16,153 fine. A recent May 2025 survey means the findings are current, not stale. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but that paperwork strength doesn't offset thin coverage or the harm-level citation.

Peninsula Health Center By Harborview runs 120 certified beds in Tarpon Springs under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 12% below the national average, and weekends run about 9% lighter than weekdays, a real gap if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the counterweight: 33.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with seven fines totaling $31,051 and a survey completed in September 2024. Three stars each on inspections, quality measures, and staffing, with no serious safety findings on file.

Williston Care Center and Rehab runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd flag: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 7% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend coverage matters because nurse turnover sits at 48.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the people covering those shifts keep changing. The health inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and CMS fined the home twice for $15,593 total. Its quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the inspection findings or the staffing shortfall behind them.

Sandy Ridge runs about 3.58 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday levels. That thin coverage is the main drag here. Turnover sits at 43.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts: seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in May 2025. Quality measures and health inspections both rate 4 out of 5, so care outcomes look solid when surveyors show up. The open question is whether staffing holds up between inspections, especially on weekends.

Carrollwood Care Center runs 120 beds in Tampa under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.22 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out just when families tend to visit. The good news is stability: 21% annual turnover is less than half the national rate of 45.8%, and the 18 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse. A January 2025 inspection keeps the record current, with a 3/5 health inspection rating and 4/5 on quality measures.

Regents Park At Aventura runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip another 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is the outlier worth noting: 18.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Where it gets harder to overlook is the inspection record, 27 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $64,981 fine and a January 2026 inspection. Consistent caregivers matter, but a harm-level finding and an abuse citation are the kind of thing a family should ask about directly.

Northbrook Center runs about 3.65 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip another 9% below its own weekday pace, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 44.1%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, which suggests the workforce here is a bit more stable than most. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $13,501 and a survey completed in March 2025. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 120 beds.

Deerfield Beach Health and Rehabilitation Center runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.32 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so Saturday and Sunday afternoons are when you'd want to visit and see for yourself. Staff retention is the brighter spot: 29.2% turnover beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning more familiar faces than you'd expect for a 194-bed nonprofit. Inspections in March 2025 left 26 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $36,089. Nothing on the record involves abuse. Ask about the two harm-level findings and how weekend coverage is actually staffed before deciding.

Avante At Melbourne runs 110 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the real story here. Thirty-eight deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and four tied to abuse, that's a pattern, not a one-off bad survey, and two fines totaling $87,952 back it up. Staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 9% thinner than weekdays. The one genuinely bright spot is turnover: 36% against a national 45.8%, which means the people who are there tend to stay. But a recent inspection and a record like this would make me ask hard questions before moving anyone in.

Alhambra Healthcare runs 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, and turnover hits 55.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2025, so the problems are real but haven't risen to serious harm. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5 stars, which may reflect good clinical documentation more than consistent bedside coverage. The weak spots are staffing and inspections, not resident outcomes on paper.

Alpine Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 57-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and its inspection record is the first thing to know: 25 deficiencies on the current record, one of them at the harm level, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey dated January 2026. Staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.9% against a 45.8% national rate, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 is the stronger part of the picture; the inspection history and thin coverage are the parts to ask about directly.

Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 108 certified beds in Daytona Beach under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.75 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationwide. That gap is small, but weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the schedule thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 45.5%, essentially matching the national average. Inspectors last visited in December 2025 and logged 8 deficiencies, 2 of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. Two fines totaling $8,512 are on record, and the staffing star rating sits at 2 out of 5.

Viera Healthcare runs 114 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Sunday. Turnover runs 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so that's a point in its favor. The harder reading is the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $34,948. A recent February 2026 inspection means the picture is current. Strong quality measures, weaker oversight history.

Aviata At St Cloud runs on 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips about 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 31.4 percent, well under the national 45.8, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The trouble shows up on inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 35 deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm level and six tied to abuse. Six fines add up to $91,612. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, but that's self-reported data, and the April 2025 inspection is recent enough to still reflect how the place runs today.

Annual turnover sits at 50.6%, above the national figure of 45.8%. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $43,050 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Its quality measure score is strong at 5 out of 5, but that reflects reported resident outcomes, not the staffing and compliance picture underneath. The most recent inspection was March 2024.

Hunters Creek runs a for-profit LLC with 116 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.03 hours per resident day, a little above the national average of 3.86, so coverage is decent on paper. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover of 35.6% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the crew tends to stick around. But the inspection record is the problem: 14 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $67,191 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was December 2024.

Village Place runs 4.19 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.7% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, that part of the operation is holding up. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours you see quoted aren't evenly spread across the week. The real trouble sits with inspections: 27 deficiencies on the current record, four serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, two tied to abuse, and one $291,005 fine. The last full inspection was June 2024. Staffing and quality measures look decent on paper; the compliance history is where a family should start asking questions.

Specialty Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Pensacola under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers split sharply depending on what you weigh. Nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays, that pattern matters because falls and infections don't check the calendar. The inspection record is the stronger side: a 4/5 health inspection rating, four deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, and the most recent survey closed in October 2025. So you're looking at a home that inspects cleanly but runs lean on daily hands-on care, and the staffing rating of 2/5 reflects it.

Parkside runs on thinner staffing than most homes you'd compare it to, 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national figure, and weekends drop another 6% below its own weekday coverage. That's the number to watch, because staff turnover sits at 53.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record is genuinely clean, though: five deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent survey is from October 2024. A corporation owns it and it's a 122-bed building. Strong care ratings and a solid inspection history, with staffing as the real question mark.
