Our read on Shands Jacksonville Medical Center
Shands Jacksonville runs a tight ship. Nurse staffing sits at 5.79 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and only about 27% of the nursing staff turns over in a year, well under the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips around 14% below weekday levels, the one soft spot worth asking about. The inspection record is spotless: zero deficiencies, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2026. This is a nonprofit hospital-based unit with 56 beds, and its staffing and quality scores back up what the numbers say.
