Nursing homes across Orange County, Florida, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Hunters Creek runs a for-profit LLC with 116 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.03 hours per resident day, a little above the national average of 3.86, so coverage is decent on paper. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover of 35.6% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the crew tends to stick around. But the inspection record is the problem: 14 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $67,191 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was December 2024.
Lotus Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 beds in Orlando under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last state inspection was in October 2024, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. That record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is a serious pattern for a single home. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 34.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection and staffing ratings tell the harder story.
Conway Lakes runs 120 certified beds in Orlando under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 45.4% lands right at the national norm, so retention isn't the problem here. The trouble shows up in its record: 31 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $94,672. A recent inspection in September 2025 means the findings are current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history is what drags the overall picture down.
Guardian Care runs 120 beds in Orlando under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 4 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 78.6 percent of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a $15,737 fine. Quality measures look relatively strong by comparison, but that staffing churn and inspection record are the things worth asking about directly.
Aviata At Colonial Lakes runs 180 certified beds in Winter Garden, and nurse staffing sits at 3.21 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 8 percent thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 49.3 percent, slightly above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing.
Its inspection record shows 34 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling $23,136; the last inspection was April 2, 2026, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but that reflects resident outcomes on paper, not the staffing that shapes daily life.
Solaris Healthcare College Park runs 108 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Nurses provide 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 9% below weekdays, and turnover hits 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $46,804 in fines across three penalties. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality ratings aren't the problem, the 2/5 staffing rating is, and it lines up with what the hours and turnover show.
Orlando Health Center For Rehabilitation is a small place, just 10 certified beds, and its last inspection, in February 2025, came back clean enough to earn the top federal rating for health inspections. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none causing actual harm, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Where the numbers turn is staffing: the federal staffing rating is 1 out of 5, the lowest tier, and at a 10-bed home that thin coverage has less room to absorb a bad night. Corporate, for-profit ownership. Good inspection results, weak daily staffing, that combination is the whole story here.
Courtyards of Orlando runs 120 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 51.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measure scoring is the weak spot here, 1 out of 5 stars, while staffing and health inspection each land at 3.
Vivo Healthcare West Orange runs 120 beds in Ocoee under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below the national average at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop roughly another 10% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 54%, noticeably higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus four fines totaling $42,931. Its most recent inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspections are where the trouble lives. Ask direct questions about weekend coverage and what changed after the four harm-level findings.
Regents Park Of Winter Park is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 120 beds, and its inspection record is the part that would worry me most. Seventeen deficiencies are on file, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $164,070. That's a lot of enforcement activity for a single building.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit.
One genuine bright spot: turnover is 37.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was October 2024, so the record is fairly current.
Nurse staffing here runs about 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with 16 fines totaling $117,410. Staff turnover sits at 44.1 percent, marginally better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's cold comfort against a one-star health inspection rating and a July 2025 inspection that found serious problems. If you're weighing this one, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related citations and what has actually changed since.
Orlando Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 391-bed nonprofit home where the staffing numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 3.37 hours per resident each day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends run slightly leaner than weekdays, but turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder problem: 67 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 6 tied to abuse, with a $65,951 fine and a June 2025 inspection. One star for health inspections against four for staffing is an unusual split, and it's worth asking what those abuse citations involved before you decide.
The Commons at Orlando Lutheran Towers runs a nonprofit shop with 168 beds, and the staffing numbers hold up: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 41.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters over time more than any single month's numbers. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. All three CMS star categories come in at 4 out of 5. The honest read: steady, well-staffed, no red flags, though the weekend drop and the deficiencies are worth asking about on a tour.
Alwyn C Cashe State Veterans Nursing Home runs on state government ownership in Orlando, and the staffing numbers stand out first: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 37 percent above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends dip roughly 13 percent below weekdays, and turnover sits at 72.5 percent against a national 45.8, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain away: 22 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and 11 fines totaling $68,731. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. Strong hours, unstable workforce, and a serious regulatory record.
Winter Park Care And Rehabilitation reports zero total nurse staffing hours per resident day on its federal record, the national average is 3.86, and its staffing star rating sits at 1 out of 5. The 103-bed, for-profit home carries 33 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, plus one fine of $73,968; its last inspection was July 10, 2025, and health inspections earned 2 out of 5 stars. Quality measures scored 4 out of 5, which is the one bright spot, but resident outcomes depend on people being present to deliver care. If you're considering this home, ask directly who is on the floor overnight and on weekends.
Ansley Cove is a 39-bed for-profit home in Maitland, and the numbers behind its grade are worth walking through slowly. Staffing sits at the lowest federal rating, and turnover runs at 59%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people caring for your family member are cycling out faster than they can learn the job. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 37 deficiencies, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 5 tied to abuse, and $197,672 in fines across four citations. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current, not old.
