Page Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center has 180 certified beds and runs on about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, with weekend staffing dipping about 9% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 25.7%, well below the national 45.8%, that kind of retention is uncommon and worth noting. What complicates the picture is the inspection record: 35 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $213,138 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025. The staffing and quality measure ratings come in strong, but the health inspection side is where the trouble concentrates.

Life Care Center of Citrus County runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the team here is somewhat more stable than average. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly, even though the most recent inspection came recently, in February 2026.

Westminster Winter Park runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 80 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are where it separates itself: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping only about 5% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 25.6% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than any single inspection score. The tradeoff is on the health inspection side, where 18 deficiencies include one at the harm level and a $65,683 fine, and the most recent survey dates to October 2024. Quality measures and staffing both rate well; inspection history is the softer spot.

Astoria Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 132 certified beds in Winter Haven under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 4.20 hours per resident day, about 9% above the national average, and the 40.6% annual turnover is lower than the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a steadier floor than many homes manage. Weekends dip roughly 8% below weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 26 deficiencies on the current record and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none were abuse-related. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, with the most recent inspection in March 2024.

The Lilac At Silver Palms runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.44 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday levels. That's the kind of gap families notice when a call button goes unanswered on a Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is mixed: 25 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $35,500 fine. Its last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well; actual staffing and the harm-level finding are the things worth asking about directly.

Willowbrooke Court At Azalea Trace is a small nonprofit home, 24 certified beds, and its inspection record is about as clean as it gets: zero deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in August 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 25% is well below the 45.8% typical nationwide, which suggests people tend to stay. The trade-off shows up in the quality measures, where the home scores 2 out of 5, and weekend staffing dips roughly 15% below its own weekday levels.

Terraces of Lake Worth runs lean on nursing hours, 3.37 per resident day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends dip a bit further below its own weekday level, which matters because that's when families often visit and see less help on the floor. What offsets that is stability: 18.5% annual turnover is less than half the national rate, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The inspection record is modest but clean where it counts, 14 deficiencies, none causing harm, none abuse-related, with a June 2025 survey. Quality measures score well even as staffing sits mid-range.

Ventura Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 99 certified beds in Boynton Beach under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the weakest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the standout: 22.1% against a national average near 46%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in April 2025 turned up 38 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS, health inspection 3.

Lakeside Health Center runs about 107 certified beds in West Palm Beach under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits roughly 8% under the national average at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bright spot: 30% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stick around, and stability matters more than raw hours for daily care. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and deserve a direct question. Last inspected December 2025, so the record is recent.

Orange Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 105 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers put it in solid but not standout territory. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover at 38.9% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.

The Waterford in Juno Beach runs 60 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection came in February 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the place operates now. Staffing sits at 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 5% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. What offsets that is stability: turnover is 23.3%, about half the national rate of 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies are on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Consistent caregivers and a clean harm record matter more here than the raw staffing number.

Bay Pointe Nursing Pavilion runs about 3.30 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 6% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 50.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the hands-on care picture is thinner than average and the workforce turns over faster than most. The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers suggest: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from a January 2024 survey. Quality measures score well. For a 120-bed for-profit, the real question is whether low staffing and high turnover catch up to the clinical record over time.

Encore At Boca Raton runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.89 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 the hours a resident gets depend heavily on which day it is. Staff turnover of 41.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. A December 2024 inspection is recent enough to reflect current conditions.

Debary Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about another 10 percent below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 44.4 percent, essentially matching the national 45.8 percent, which means the revolving door here is no worse than typical but no better either. The current record shows nine deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A January 2026 inspection keeps the picture recent, and the health, quality, and staffing ratings all land at four stars.

The numbers here pull in two directions. Nurse staffing runs 3.53 hours per resident per day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. What stands out in the other direction is turnover: 24.3% against a national average near 46%, meaning this staff is unusually stable for the industry. The inspection record is where the concern sits. Forty-eight deficiencies on file, including one at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the record is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 144 beds. Ask directly how that abuse citation was resolved and what weekend coverage actually looks like.

Brookwood Gardens runs 180 certified beds in Homestead under corporate ownership, and its staffing picture is genuinely strong on paper, 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 27.1% against a national 45.8%. That retention matters, because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record tells a different story. Thirty-seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $27,749 fine on file. A 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the day-to-day care may be better than the paperwork and oversight. Ask specifically what happened in those harm-level citations and what's changed since the August 2025 inspection.

Palm Garden of Aventura runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurses put in 3.68 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, with weekends about 8% lighter than its own weekdays. That staffing gap is worth weighing against the numbers that look stronger: annual turnover of 23.7% is about half the national rate, and CMS gives the home 4 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Then there's the record itself: 18 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $25,310 fine. A recent April 2025 inspection means the picture is current.

Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover sits at 33.3%, meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 16 deficiencies on record include none tied to harm or abuse. The most recent inspection was March 2026. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5; health inspections rate 3.

Cedar Hill runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Jacksonville, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.14 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 4% thinner than weekdays. That said, turnover of 30.8% is notably better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. The record shows 11 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $21,921 dollars. The most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. Weaker inspections against decent quality scores usually means care planning looks fine on paper while daily staffing tells a different story.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit.

Its inspection record shows 10 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025. All three CMS star categories, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 4 out of 5.
