Nursing homes across Pasco County, Florida, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Life Care Center of New Port Richey runs 113 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is solidly above average: 3.98 total nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. Turnover sits at 37.4%, well under the 45.8% national rate, which matters for continuity of care. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Weekend staffing drops roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, and a current record of 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, points to paperwork and process problems rather than resident safety failures. The last inspection was March 5, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score 5/5 while health inspections score 3/5, a split worth understanding before you visit.
Royal Oak Nursing Center sits in Dade City with 120 certified beds, run by a nonprofit corporation. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run roughly 12% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if you're planning visits or worried about coverage gaps. Turnover is 41.2%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care.
The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2024. Quality measures score high. What's behind the strong overall picture is steady staffing, low harm-level findings, and better-than-average retention, not one standout number.
Baldomero Lopez Memorial Veterans Nursing Home runs on 4.76 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average, and that staffing depth is the main reason it holds up well. The tradeoff is a weekend dip of about 13% against its own weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 47.5%, a touch above the national figure, and the record shows 8 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. Inspectors last visited in January 2024, and the state runs the place, which tends to mean steadier budgets but slower change.
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.
Solaris Healthcare Zephyrhills runs a 113-bed for-profit operation, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, 18 deficiencies on file, none of them rising to harm or jeopardy, with the most recent state visit in May 2025. Quality measures score well too. Where it slips is staffing: 3.69 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, and turnover lands at 47.6%, a bit above the national figure. That combination, good oversight, thinner hands-on care, is what holds it back from the top tier. Worth asking how weekends and evenings actually feel.
Windsor Woods runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip a bit further below its own weekday level. That matters, because fewer hands per resident is where problems tend to start. The trade-off is a workforce that mostly stays put: turnover of 26.8% is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here are more likely to know your family member. Sixteen deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, with the last inspection in June 2024. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing sit in the middle. Nonprofit ownership means no investor pressure, though it doesn't erase the thin hours.
Bayonet Point Health Center runs about 3.6 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces are harder to count on over time. The record shows nine deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in August 2024, so the picture is reasonably current. Quality measures score well, though the staffing and inspection results pull the overall standing down to a solid but not standout level.
Hillside runs about 3.54 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The 28 deficiencies on record include nothing flagged at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, which matters, and the one fine totals $3,728. Its quality measure score is perfect while the health inspection and staffing ratings sit at 2 out of 5 each, a split worth noticing: the home reports strong clinical outcomes even as its last inspection, in August 2025, and its day-to-day staffing tell a more mixed story. Individual for-profit ownership, 120 beds.
Solaris Healthcare Bayonet Point runs 180 beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurses provide 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies with 2 at harm or jeopardy level, and a $90,650 fine. That contrasts sharply with a 5-out-of-5 quality measure rating, which suggests the care protocols look good on paper while the survey history tells a rougher story.
Solaris Healthcare Lake Zephyr runs 120 beds in Zephyrhills under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so if your visits land on a Saturday or Sunday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. The current record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was July 2024. Turnover at 43.9% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same aides month to month.
Heather Hill runs a nonprofit home with 105 beds in New Port Richey, and its strongest suit is staffing: 3.44 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, but turnover sits at 38.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here stick around longer than is typical. Weekends dip roughly 6% below weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The state inspection record is the weak spot: 25 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with the last survey in June 2024. Nothing abuse-related appears on file. A 2/5 inspection rating next to a 4/5 staffing rating tells you where to aim your questions.
Aspire At Ridge Haven runs 120 beds in New Port Richey under corporate ownership, and its staffing is the number that stands out: 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 49.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around your relative may change often. The record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in January 2024. Quality measures score well; it's the day-to-day coverage that's lean. Ask how weekends and evenings are actually staffed before deciding.
The Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of New Port Richey runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the clearest signal here: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.8% against a 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The last survey was December 2024, so the record is fairly current. Quality measures score a middling 3, but staffing lands at 1. When turnover is this high and weekend coverage thins out, ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.
Bear Creek runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover is 55.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are changing often. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $37,198 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was March 2024. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but the health inspection side sits at 2, and those two numbers rarely tell the same story.
Madison Pointe runs about 3.65 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The concerns show up elsewhere: 18 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $33,413 fine. The last inspection was April 2024. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history and thin weekend coverage are the things I'd ask about directly.
Trinity Regional Rehab Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 48%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record is the harder part, 18 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a one-star health inspection rating and the most recent survey from November 2024. Quality measures score well, but that doesn't offset a thin, churning floor staff.
Southern Pines runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, about 3.44 hours per resident per day against a national average near 3.86, and weekends drop further below its own weekday level. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 58.7%, well above the national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are frequently new to the building. Its last full inspection was in October 2023, and the record shows 25 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. All three CMS star ratings land at two out of five, and it operates as a for-profit limited liability company.
Dade City Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection ones. Fifty-four deficiencies sit on the current record, seven of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. Five fines total $94,152, and the last inspection was April 25, 2024. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 44.3%, is basically average.
