Aviata At Bradenton runs 3.31 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What stands out is the split in federal ratings: one star for health inspections against five for quality measures, with 30 deficiencies on the current record, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection dated January 15, 2026. For-profit corporate ownership, 110 certified beds.

Ocala Oaks runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in Marion County where the clinical numbers tell a mixed story. Resident outcomes look strong on paper, the quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale, and staff turnover at 34.1% actually beats the national average of 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. But the staffing rating is 1 out of 5, meaning the hours per resident are thin even if the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections in August 2025 turned up 19 deficiencies, none at harm level but one tied to abuse. Nothing here suggests imminent danger; the question is whether a 120-bed building can keep quality high when staffing is this lean.

Solaris Healthcare Lake City runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is the standout number here: 31.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning this home keeps its nurses longer than most. The tradeoff is inspection history. Fifteen deficiencies are on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and CMS has fined the home once for $24,850. Its last inspection was June 6, 2025. Quality measures score well and staffing holds steady, but that harm-level finding is the piece worth asking about directly.

Palm City Nursing & Rehab runs on 3.56 nurse hours per resident per day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out instead is retention: 22.5% turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses around your relative are more likely to still be there next year. The 21 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2024. This is a for-profit corporate home with 120 beds.

Life Care Center of Ocala runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care may look different on a Saturday than a Tuesday. Turnover is the real bright spot: 29.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces. Inspections back that up, with a 4/5 health inspection rating, no harm-level or abuse-related deficiencies, and a clean survey as recent as January 2026.

Bridgewater Park runs on 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.5% sits well below the national 45.8%, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. The 18 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures score 5/5, while inspections and staffing each land at 3/5. For-profit LLC ownership, 120 beds.

The Sands At South Beach runs 230 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. What stands out is stability: 28.8% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than a single staffing number. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in July 2025.

Royal Oak Nursing Center sits in Dade City with 120 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if you're planning visits or worried about coverage gaps. Turnover is 41.2%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2024. Quality measures score high. What's behind the strong overall picture is steady staffing, low harm-level findings, and better-than-average retention, not one standout number.

Fort Myers Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 4.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent above the national average, and its staff stays put, turnover is 25.4 percent against a national average near 46 percent. That kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents get the same caregivers. The trade-offs sit elsewhere: 23 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 2025. Weekend staffing dips about 14 percent below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. A for-profit corporate owner, 120 beds, Medicare-certified.

Unity Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 294 certified beds in Miami under individual for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was in June 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the place operates now. The current record shows 29 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level, with one abuse-related citation. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is where it separates itself: 25.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers are cycling out the door. That stability, paired with strong inspection and quality marks, is what holds the numbers up despite the thinner staffing margin.

Harbours Edge runs a tight ship on staffing for a 54-bed nonprofit in Delray Beach. Nurses give about 4.17 hours of care per resident per day, roughly 8% more than the national average, and weekend coverage only dips about 12% below weekday levels, which matters because that's when a lot of homes quietly thin out. Turnover sits at 25.9%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 15 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy. That record earned a 3 out of 5 on health inspections, offset by 5s in quality measures and staffing.

West Gables runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.28 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stick around, with turnover at 23.7% versus 45.8% nationally. That combination matters more than any single rating, because consistent caregivers who know the residents are the ones who catch problems early. The tradeoff shows up on weekends, when staffing dips about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinner then. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The last full inspection was in September 2025, so the picture is recent.

Westchester Gardens runs 3.92 nurse hours per resident day, a hair above the national average of 3.86, so staffing is adequate but not generous, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The 45% annual turnover lands right at the national figure, so continuity of caregivers is about typical. Sixteen deficiencies sit on the current record with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was June 2025. Quality measures score 5 out of 5 stars while inspections and staffing each sit at 3, a split that suggests good clinical outcomes but a survey history with room to improve.

The Inn at Freedom Village runs 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and that staffing shows up as a 5-out-of-5 federal rating, the strongest part of this home's record. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 41.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections are the weaker side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was July 2024, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5.

Labelle Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 93 beds under limited-liability, for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is a little thinner when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 36.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers cycling out the door. The inspection record backs that up, with a 5/5 health inspection rating, 9 total deficiencies and none at harm or jeopardy level, plus a clean 5/5 on quality measures. Last surveyed May 2024.

Solaris Healthcare Parkway runs a tight ship on retention: 20.8% annual turnover against a 45.8% national average means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters more for daily care than almost anything else on a federal report. The tradeoff is raw hours, 3.64 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national figure, with weekends dipping about 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none tied to abuse, and the last full inspection came in December 2025.

Shoreside Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 150 beds in Miami under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it: a five-star health inspection rating, 19 deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a survey completed just recently, in September 2025. Staffing is where it slips. At 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than its own weekdays. The offsetting number is turnover: 28.2% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay.

Orange City Nursing and Rehab Center runs 120 beds in Debary under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 39.6% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a more stable crew than most. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, six deficiencies on record, two of them serious enough to be flagged at harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $16,801. The most recent inspection was March 27, 2025. Resident care measures score well, but the harm-level findings and below-average staffing are what hold this one back.

Solaris Healthcare Apopka runs a tight operation on the things that are hard to fix. Its 27.8% staff turnover sits well under the national 45.8% average, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know their residents and catch problems early. The inspection record backs that up: a five-star health inspection rating, four deficiencies total, none at the harm level, and a recent survey from December 2024. The tradeoff is hours. Nurse staffing at 3.72 hours per resident day lands about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company with 120 certified beds.

Life Care Center of Winter Haven runs 177 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 39%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so aides and nurses tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2025. State surveyors rated health inspections 3 out of 5, while quality measures came in at 5 out of 5.
