Staff turnover
48%
Serious cites
0

Aviata At Lakeside Oaks runs 93 beds in Dunedin under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 48.2% edges past the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm-or-jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a single $8,788 fine and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The last inspection was January 25, 2024. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but that reflects resident outcomes, not the care environment itself. Ask about the abuse deficiency and weekend coverage specifically when you visit.

South Campus Care Center And Rehab

Leesburg, FL · Lake County

CMS 3/5 120 beds For-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover
57%
Serious cites
0

South Campus Care Center runs about 3.61 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters because turnover sits at 56.5% against a national 45.8%, more than half the nursing staff leaving in a year. The good news is the record itself: 27 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as January 2026. Quality measures earned 4 of 5 stars, so clinical outcomes look better than the staffing numbers suggest. For a 120-bed for-profit LLC, ask directly how they cover weekends and how they're holding onto aides.

Aviata At Tallahassee runs on thinner staffing than most homes in the country, 3.33 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, and 64% of staff turned over in the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its current inspection record carries 30 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, and inspectors last visited in September 2025. Quality measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where the real story sits. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 180 certified beds.

West Volusia runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes in the country, 3.14 nurse hours per resident each day against a national average of 3.86. That gap matters most on weekends, when staffing dips slightly below the home's own weekday level and there are simply fewer hands on deck. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, plus 16 fines adding up to $88,215; the most recent visit was in January 2025. Staff turnover sits at 48.8%, a bit above the national rate. Resident care measures score well, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where the real story sits.

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
66%
Serious cites

The Terrace at Bishop's Glen in Holly Hill runs 60 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its strongest asset is a clean recent inspection record, surveyed in June 2025, with 12 total deficiencies, just one at the harm level and none related to abuse. The trouble sits in staffing, where CMS gives it 1 out of 5 stars and annual turnover hits 65.5% against a national average of 45.8%. Quality measures and health inspection both score 4 out of 5, so the care being documented looks solid, but a building replacing roughly two-thirds of its workers every year is a hard place to keep consistent. One fine, $8,512, is on record.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Cedarbrook runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 8% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing shows up in turnover: 69.5% of staff leave each year against a national rate of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your family member are often new and still learning the building. The inspection history is the harder read, 30 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $16,801 fine, with the last inspection in November 2024. The quality measure star rating of 5/5 sits oddly against all this, and it's worth asking how the home achieves those clinical numbers when staffing runs below average and workers cycle through so quickly.

Abbey Rehabilitation And Nursing Center is a 132-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurses provide 3.22 hours per resident per day, about 17 percent under the national average, with weekends running thinner still, and staff turnover sits at 52.7 percent, meaning roughly half the caregivers leave within a year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 32 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and $139,355 in fines, against a one-star health inspection rating. A four-star staffing score and three-star quality measures don't offset that, especially with the most recent inspection in April 2026.

Pinellas Point runs 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under corporate ownership, and its last full health inspection was in May 2024. The record shows 17 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding, and a single fine that reached $290,823. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. What stands out most is the turnover: 59.1% of nursing staff leaving in a year, against 45.8% nationally, in a building already cited for harm-level problems. The quality measure score looks strong, but steady caregivers matter more when the inspection record reads like this.

Westgate runs lean on nursing hours: 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends thin out further, about 6% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 58.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because unfamiliar caregivers miss subtle changes. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one tied to abuse, a single flag worth asking about directly. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the gap shows.

Aviata At Jacksonville runs a 116-bed for-profit home where nurse staffing sits at 3.47 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops about 6% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 57.7% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, so familiar faces are not a given. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm level but one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $4,778. State surveyors were last in on December 11, 2025, and the home holds mid-range marks across health inspection, quality measures, and staffing.

Lakeside Center runs 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating, eight deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a recent survey from October 2025. Where it slips is staffing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and its staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5. Weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 61% against a national 45.8%. Good inspections, thinner day-to-day coverage, worth asking about direct-care hours on weekends before deciding.

Lady Lake Specialty Care Center runs 145 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses give 3.52 hours per resident each day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover hits 60.2% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling out faster than most places. Inspectors cited 26 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, though none involved abuse. The last inspection was December 18, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well, but that's the piece families notice least when call lights go unanswered.

Solaris Healthcare College Park runs 108 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Nurses provide 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 9% below weekdays, and turnover hits 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $46,804 in fines across three penalties. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality ratings aren't the problem, the 2/5 staffing rating is, and it lines up with what the hours and turnover show.

Serious cites
0

Aviata At Sarasota runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.47 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. That matters because staffing is where problems usually start: the home carries 36 deficiencies on its current record, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and seven fines totaling $39,846. Its health inspection rating sits at the lowest rung, and annual turnover of 64.6% means nearly two of every three caregivers left last year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score is strong, but strong outcome numbers are hard to sustain when the people delivering care keep changing.

Lake Wales Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 3.51 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 4% below what the home staffs during the week. Turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the staffing picture isn't the main problem here. The inspection record is: a one-star health inspection rating, 34 deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $46,800 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2024. A for-profit corporation operates the 100-bed home. Quality and staffing measures both came in at three stars, so the gap between those and the inspection history is worth asking about directly.

Vivo Healthcare Winter Haven runs 120 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9 percent below the home's own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated April 10, 2025. Federal staffing and health inspection stars both sit at 1 out of 5, while quality measures come in at 3. That split is worth noticing: the clinical tracking looks steadier than the day-to-day staffing and inspection history behind it.

Aviata At Emerald Shores runs 77 certified beds in Callaway, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.4% against a 45.8% national average means a good share of the people providing that care are still learning the building. The inspection record is cleaner: 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the last visit was March 2025. Corporate ownership, for what it's worth. The care itself hasn't drawn serious citations, the concern is how much consistent attention is available day to day.

If you're weighing Rehab & Healthcare Center of Cape Coral, the numbers put two different pictures side by side. The clinical quality measures that track things like pain and mobility come in well above average, and there's no record of a deficiency causing actual harm to a resident. But the people delivering that care are stretched thin, 3.25 nurse hours per resident each day runs about 16% under the national average, weekend coverage dips a further 6%, and half the staff turned over in the past year, a bit above the national rate. That combination usually shows up as inconsistency, not catastrophe. A single abuse-related deficiency and roughly $32,000 in fines across three citations round out a record that's more uneven than alarming.

Riverside Post Acute runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 52.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces are hard to count on. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $17,777 in fines. The last inspection was recent, December 2025, and the three-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing suggest a home that's neither failing nor standing out. Ask direct questions about weekend coverage and how they screen and retain aides.

Charlotte Bay runs 164 beds in Port Charlotte under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39.9% actually beats the national 45.8%, which means the people who stay are, on paper, a relatively stable group. The inspection record is the harder part. Twenty-eight deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $274,053. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2025. Quality and staffing measures score well; the survey history is what pulls the overall picture down.
