Staff turnover
26%

Florida Presbyterian Homes runs 68 certified beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit in Lakeland, and its staff retention is the standout number: 26.3% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents stick around. Total nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, a hair under the 3.86 national figure, and weekends run roughly 7% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out a bit on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in February 2024. The quality and staffing measure ratings both come in at the top of CMS's scale.

Westminster Point Pleasant runs a nonprofit home of 120 beds in Bradenton, and the numbers suggest steady, unspectacular care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Staff turnover is the real bright spot: 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth reading in full. That last inspection was recent, August 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Life Care Center of Palm Bay runs 141 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in just under the national average, 3.80 per resident day against 3.86. Weekends thin out further, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. What stands out is retention: 28.2% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer unfamiliar faces than most places. The tradeoff shows in the inspection record, 8 deficiencies, 2 at harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in January 2025. Strong marks across inspection, quality, and staffing categories round out the picture.

Willowbrooke Court is a small nonprofit home, just 20 certified beds, and the numbers behind it are strong. Nurse staffing runs 4.56 hours per resident day, about 18% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows three deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $18,330. Its last inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current. With 20 beds, you're looking at a place where staff likely know every resident by name, a real advantage at this size, and one that shows in the ratings.

Oakton Place runs on unusually heavy staffing, nearly six nursing hours per resident day, roughly half again the national figure, and its nurses stay: turnover of 27.3% sits well under the 45.8% national rate. The quality measures CMS tracks also come back strong. What drags the record down is inspections. Thirteen deficiencies are on file, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, including one tied to abuse, and a single $170,235 fine followed the June 2024 visit. Weekend coverage thins by about 8% against weekdays, which matters in a 44-bed home where help is the whole safety net. Good hands on deck; a troubled paper trail.

The Preserve runs on a nonprofit model with 75 certified beds, and the numbers suggest it's a place that takes staffing seriously. At 4.65 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 20% above the national average of 3.86, a meaningful cushion, though weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 33.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. Eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a clean five-star health inspection and a survey as recent as October 2025. Nothing here reads as a red flag.

Boulevard Rehabilitation Center runs 167 certified beds in Boynton Beach under corporate ownership, and its numbers point to a place that's steady rather than spectacular. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, a gap families should ask about directly, since that's when problems tend to surface. The stronger signals: staff turnover of 31.3% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most homes, and its 21 deficiencies include none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about. Last inspected February 2025.

Broward Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs on unusually strong nurse staffing for a for-profit home, 4.60 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and it earns the top federal staffing rating because of it. Turnover sits at 23.9%, about half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than any single inspection score: consistent caregivers know the residents. The trade-off is on the health side. Fifteen deficiencies are on the current record, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in February 2025. Weekend staffing dips about 12% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays and Sundays.

Staff turnover is 34.4%, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around.

Abbey Delray South runs on unusually steady staffing for a Florida nursing home. Nurses provide about 4.16 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 8% above the national average, and only 14.5% of staff left over the past year, the typical U.S. nursing home loses closer to 46%. That continuity matters, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 29 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related finding, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and a single $4,963 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025. The nonprofit owner holds a 2-star health inspection rating against 5-star marks for staffing and quality measures.

Palm Garden of Port Saint Lucie runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical Florida home, 3.62 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday pace, so families should ask how weekend coverage actually looks on the unit their relative lands on. The standout number is turnover: 23.7%, roughly half the national rate, which matters because consistent caregivers notice changes sooner. Twenty deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, and inspectors last visited in July 2024. A for-profit corporate owner, decent inspection history, five stars on quality measures.

Westminster Oaks runs a tight ship on the things that are hardest to fake. Its last inspection was in August 2025, and the record shows four deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The number worth noticing is turnover: 29% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer people are cycling out the door than at the typical home. That kind of retention tends to show up in how consistently residents see the same faces.

Solaris Healthcare Windermere runs on a non-profit model in Orlando with 120 beds, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it, a five-star health inspection rating with just six deficiencies on the books, only one of which rose to the harm or jeopardy level. That's a clean sheet for a home this size, and no abuse findings at all. Staffing is where it gets more ordinary: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday numbers, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The offsetting fact is turnover at 15.5%, well under the national 45.8%, the same faces, year after year, which matters more than a decimal.

Martin Coast Center runs on thin margins where it counts. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 44.1% is essentially the national rate, meaning little continuity of caregivers. The record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was April 2026 under for-profit LLC ownership. Quality measures score well, yet a 2/5 inspection rating and those abuse findings are the numbers worth asking about directly.
