Our read on Hillsborough County Nursing Home

Hillsborough County Nursing Home runs 300 beds as a county-owned home, and its record is unusually clean for a building that size: nine deficiencies total, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was recent, so that picture isn't stale. Staffing is the one spot worth watching, 3.74 nurse hours per resident day sits just under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. What offsets that is retention: turnover of 30.1% is well below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay. For a family weighing a large county facility, the steady workforce and clean inspection history matter more than the slight staffing dip.
