Here are 30 Nursing Homes in Hillsborough County, FL
Nursing homes across Hillsborough County, Florida, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Victoria Crossing runs 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing rating, which sits at 2 out of 5, and in turnover: 67.4% of staff left over the year against a national rate near 46%. The clinical picture is stronger, a 5/5 on quality measures and no deficiencies involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse among the 15 on record. But the corporate owner's last inspection was January 2026, so that clean record is recent and untested over time. The gap between good outcomes and shaky staffing is the whole story here.
Aviata At Fletcher runs 120 beds in Tampa under individual for-profit ownership, and its last full health inspection in July 2024 left a heavy record: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse. Fines total $57,962 across two penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.30 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 52.6 percent runs above the 45.8 percent national figure. The quality measure score of 4 out of 5 is the bright spot, but it's built on charted clinical data, not on the hands available or the inspection findings, and those are what families actually live with day to day.
Pruitthealth-North Tampa runs 90 certified beds in Lutz under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the weak spot: 22 deficiencies on file, one tied to abuse, and a one-out-of-five health inspection rating from CMS. Fines total $32,812 across six separate penalties. Staffing sits at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 16% lighter than weekdays, that gap matters when a resident needs help on a Sunday. Annual turnover is 51.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which is a lot of faces cycling through the building. The five-star quality measure score is genuinely good; the question is whether it holds with this much staff churn.
The staffing numbers at this Lutz home are the first thing to look at, one star out of five, which means nurse and aide hours per resident sit well below what CMS expects. Quality measures score high at four stars, so the chart-based data on falls, infections, and similar metrics looks better than the day-to-day coverage would suggest. The inspection record is harder to ignore: 25 deficiencies, including one that caused actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, plus a $50,225 fine. A for-profit LLC runs it, and the most recent inspection was April 2024. If you're considering this one, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse citation and what staffing looks like on weekends.
The Bristol Care Center runs 266 beds in Tampa under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers point to a building stretched thinner than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about another 10% below its own weekday levels, right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and consistency of care is hard to build that way. The inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $130,689 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, but the quality measure score is doing a lot of work holding this picture up.
Fairway Oaks Center runs about 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest staffing lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 61.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current inspection record carries 33 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level; the last survey was September 2024. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, sit at 2 out of 5.
Aviata At Oakfield runs on 3.28 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 7 percent below its own weekday numbers. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 34 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with $29,328 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover is 47 percent, slightly above the 45.8 percent national figure, and ownership is for-profit individual. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents' conditions are tracked, but it doesn't offset a one-star inspection history or thin staffing. Ask about the abuse-related findings and the plan to keep weekend coverage steady.
Aviata At The Bay runs 150 certified beds in Tampa under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a familiar story: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 5% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 51.1%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where things get serious, 36 deficiencies on file, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus 11 fines totaling $169,790. Its last health inspection was June 28, 2024, and the 1-star inspection rating reflects that history. Quality measures score well, but a strong quality score doesn't offset harm-level findings and thin coverage.
Palm Garden of Sun City runs 132 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 10% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 43.3% actually lands slightly below the national rate, so the workforce isn't the main concern here. The inspection record is: 19 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $85,965, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Quality measures score well, but a single-star health inspection rating and that deficiency history are what a family should weigh when deciding.
Community Convalescent Center runs on 2.90 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter below the national average of 3.86, with weekend staffing nearly matching weekdays. The bigger problems sit in its inspection record: 42 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus two fines totaling $115,719. That inspection history likely explains the 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, and staff turnover at 47.1% edges past the national 45.8%, so even the thin staffing is not especially stable. Its 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating reflects resident care metrics, and a nonprofit corporation owns the 120-bed home. The last inspection was August 27, 2025.
