Staff turnover
42%

Macclenny Nursing and Rehab Center holds 120 certified beds and is run by a for-profit limited liability company. Its last health inspection came in June 2025 and turned up six deficiencies, none of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy and none related to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 41.5 percent, a bit better than the 45.8 percent national average. Where the home lags is raw staffing: 3.51 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about nine percent thinner than its own weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays.

Solaris Healthcare East Orlando runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.4% sits well under the national 45.8%, that combination usually means steadier hands on the floor. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors gave it 4 of 5 stars with 10 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current. A for-profit LLC, 110 beds.

Solaris Senior Living North Naples runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds, and its staffing is genuinely strong for the size, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating and turnover at 19.1% against a national 45.8%. That retention matters more than any single inspection. Where it slips is health inspections: 14 deficiencies on record and a 2/5 inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, with $10,498 in fines across two events. Weekend staffing drops roughly 11% below weekdays, worth asking about. The most recent inspection was April 2025, so the record is current.

Century Center runs lean on nursing hours: 3.46 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 40.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff it does have tends to stay. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a clean five-star health inspection rating, ten deficiencies on file with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a survey as recent as February 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned, 88 beds. The tradeoff here is straightforward: fewer hands per resident than average, but stable staffing and a well-kept compliance record.

Tuskawilla runs a bit lean on nurse staffing, 3.78 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs during the week, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.1%, essentially in line with the national rate of 45.8%, which tells you this isn't a retention outlier in either direction. The inspection record is the strong part: a 5/5 health inspection rating, five total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a June 2024 survey. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, though, and it's worth asking about directly.

Cross City Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest signal is quality measurement, where it earns the top federal rating. Nurse staffing sits at 3.94 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday level and turnover runs just over the national rate at 47.8%. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in September 2025. Taken together, this reads as a home that measures well on clinical outcomes and keeps serious problems off its record, while the moderate staffing rating and steady churn are the quieter things to ask about directly.

Jackson Gardens runs leaner than most, 3.61 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday staffing. The trade-off shows up in a 37.2% turnover rate, which is meaningfully better than the 45.8% typical elsewhere. On its current record are 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, and the last inspection was in May 2026, so the picture is relatively fresh. The five-star quality measure score stands out, though quality measures and direct care hours don't always tell the same story. It's a for-profit limited liability company operating 120 certified beds in Miami-Dade County.

Life Care Center of Pensacola holds a five-star record on both health inspections and quality measures, with just three deficiencies on file and none tied to harm or abuse, a clean sheet that's genuinely hard to come by. Its inspection in September 2025 was recent, so what's on the record reflects current conditions rather than a stale snapshot. The softer spot is staffing: 3.71 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover runs 49.2% against a national 45.8%. That combination, strong oversight, thinner hands on weekends, is worth asking about directly.

Miami Springs Nursing And Rehabilitation Center runs 269 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The stronger numbers: staff turnover is 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning less churn than most homes, and inspectors logged 24 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspection came in at 3.

Blue Heron runs about 4% more nursing hours per resident day than the national average, and its staff turnover sits slightly below average too, both signs of a fairly stable floor. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% off its own weekday pace. Sixteen deficiencies appear on the current record, though none rose to harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse; the last inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score well, staffing holds up, and inspections land in the middle. It's a for-profit LLC with 141 beds, so ask how the weekend shift is actually covered before you decide.

Golfcrest Nursing Center runs on a nonprofit model with 67 beds in Hollywood, and its strongest number is staff retention: 27% turnover against a national average near 46%. That stability matters more than the raw staffing figure, which at 3.70 hours per resident day sits slightly under the national 3.86 and dips another 3% on weekends. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a $40,755 fine, though nothing abuse-related. Quality and staffing measures both rate well above average; the health inspection side is where the home gives ground. A recent April 2025 inspection means the picture is current.

Bayside Care Center runs 92 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 34.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $3,728 fine and a recent March 2026 survey. Quality and staffing both earned 4 stars from CMS; health inspections came in at 3.

North Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 45-bed for-profit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Against that, turnover is 30.2%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.

Park Meadows runs 148 beds in Gainesville under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.4% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so that's not the weak spot. The inspection record is: 39 deficiencies, 8 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 1 abuse-related, and two fines totaling $16,801, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Strong quality-measure and staffing stars don't offset that harm-level citation history.

Palms Care Center runs about 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday coverage. That's the pattern that matters if your family visits mainly on Saturdays. Where it stands out is retention: 16.7% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, which means the aides who know your mother are more likely to still be there next year. The tradeoff shows in inspections: 26 deficiencies on record, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, and one $11,517 fine. Nothing was cited at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was October 2024.

Ayers Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Trenton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially right at the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 46.2%, a hair above the national 45.8%, so retention here looks typical rather than troubled. The clearer signal is the inspection record: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies on file with one rising to harm or jeopardy level, and a single $16,153 fine. No abuse citations appear. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the picture is current. Quality and staffing measures both rate 4 out of 5, which softens the compliance concerns but doesn't erase them.

Aviata At Rosewood runs 120 beds in Orlando under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.2%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors cited 34 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in September 2025. The quality measure stars look strong; the inspection history and below-average staffing are the parts worth asking about directly.

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Yamato Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds in Boca Raton as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is stability: turnover of 24.6% is roughly half the national rate, which matters because aides and nurses who stay know the residents. Daily nurse staffing of 3.58 hours per resident sits a bit under the national 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinner than average on Saturdays and Sundays. The 29 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged for harm or abuse, but the last full inspection was in April 2023, and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating suggests the survey history has been uneven. Ask about weekend coverage and what's changed since that visit.

Moultrie Creek runs on the lean side for nursing hours: 3.54 per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage. That thin staffing is the main thing holding it back. The rest of the picture is stronger. Turnover sits at 32.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. State inspectors gave it top marks on health inspections and quality measures, with seven deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and a clean inspection as recent as October 2024. For-profit corporate ownership, 120 beds.

Solaris Healthcare Pensacola runs 180 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing going for it: a recent June 2025 survey and nine total deficiencies on file, with just one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Staffing is where the tradeoff shows up. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 3% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, though, is better than most, 37.8% against a national 45.8%, which suggests the staff who are there tend to stay.
