Nursing homes across Pinellas County, Florida, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Wrights Healthcare runs about 60 beds in Seminole under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits roughly 11% under the national average at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage, and turnover hits 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $34,333 fine. CMS rated the quality measures 5 out of 5 but staffing just 2, and the most recent inspection was January 22, 2026. The quality scores look strong; the hands-on coverage and the abuse-related finding are what a family should ask about directly.
Pinellas Point runs 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under corporate ownership, and its last full health inspection was in May 2024. The record shows 17 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to cause harm or put residents in jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding, and a single fine that reached $290,823. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends. What stands out most is the turnover: 59.1% of nursing staff leaving in a year, against 45.8% nationally, in a building already cited for harm-level problems. The quality measure score looks strong, but steady caregivers matter more when the inspection record reads like this.
Gulfport Nursing Center runs 126 beds in Pasadena under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 47.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. What stands out most is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $17,291, with the last inspection in June 2025. Its quality and staffing scores read middle-of-the-road, but the enforcement history is what a family should weigh.
Belleair Health Care Center sits in Clearwater with 120 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership. Its most recent health inspection, in August 2025, turned up 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, which matters more than the raw count suggests. Nurse staffing lands at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, but weekends run roughly 19% leaner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 64.8% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two of every three caregivers left within the year. Consistent inspection results, unstable floor staff, that combination is what shapes the outlook here.
Golfview Nursing Center runs 56 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers point to a home that's had recurring problems without any single severe incident. State inspectors cited 17 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, and fined the place seven times for a total of $70,940. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends running about 4% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 37.5%, which actually beats the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the real outlier here, staffing and inspection scores both land mid-range, but resident outcomes lag badly.
Aviata At Oldsmar's inspection record is the part to look at first: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $36,659. That's a heavy citation load for 120 beds, and CMS rates the health inspection side of this home at 1 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was February 2024, so roughly a year of operating history sits behind those numbers. It's a for-profit, individually owned building in Pinellas County. If you're considering it, ask the administrator directly what changed after that abuse-related finding and how they're tracking it now.
Aviata At The Sea in South Pasadena runs 58 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, including one abuse-related finding. None of those rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, which matters, but 15 fines totaling $79,797 is a lot of enforcement activity for a building this size. The last full inspection was February 2023, so the record you're seeing isn't fresh. When you tour, ask what's changed since that inspection and how they've addressed the abuse citation specifically. The fine total alone tells you regulators found repeated problems worth penalizing, not a one-time slip.
Aviata At Sand Key runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly another 8% below its own weekday level. That thin margin helps explain the 62.3% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and a staffing star of 2 out of 5. Its inspection record is the bigger concern: 33 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and a $163,898 fine, with the last inspection in February 2024. Strong quality measures don't offset a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and consistent understaffing. If you're considering this one, ask specifically how they cover weekends and what changed since that inspection.
Highland Pines runs on 3.13 nurse staffing hours per resident day, about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip a little below weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the numbers: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and 37 deficiencies on the current record, seven of them serious enough to be flagged at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits just above the national rate at 48.5%. The nonprofit owner has paid $196,670 in fines across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was August 2024. A 4-out-of-5 on quality measures doesn't offset what inspectors keep finding.
South Heritage runs about 17% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.19 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 3% beneath its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, well above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. On inspections, the record shows 31 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $145,109 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2025.
Lake Haven runs on thin staffing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 6 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bigger signal: 62.4 percent of nursing staff leave within a year, against a national average near 46 percent. That churn shows up in the inspection record, where 29 deficiencies include 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, drawing $281,689 in fines. The last inspection was October 2024. Corporate ownership and a one-star health inspection rating round out a picture worth weighing carefully.
The Springs at Boca Ciega Bay runs on 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a one-out-of-five staffing rating and a matching one-out-of-five on health inspections, where the current record carries 24 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents are doing on paper, but it doesn't offset what surveyors found when they walked in last February. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 109-bed home. The pattern here is a building that can document outcomes while struggling to staff and pass inspection.
Palm Garden of Largo runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Pinellas County, and the inspection record is the part that stands out: 30 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $66,613. That's a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed February 2024. Staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, weekends run 9% lighter than weekdays, and turnover hits 54.5% against a 45.8% national figure. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects resident assessments, not the inspection findings, worth keeping in mind when you weigh the two.
Westminster Suncoast runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% below, with weekends running roughly 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover is 35% against a national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections are the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on the current record, 3 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and the last survey was April 2024. That mix, solid quality and staffing stars, thinner inspection record, is what pulls the overall picture down.
Harbourwood runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 71.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with seven fines totaling $65,599. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating tell you where the problems concentrate, even though the quality measure score looks better. It's owned by a for-profit limited liability company, and the last inspection was December 2024.
Egret Cove Center runs 120 certified beds in Saint Petersburg as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing sits at 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover lands at 49% against a national figure of 45.8%. Inspections show 20 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine totaling $5,346 and the most recent survey dated May 2024. CMS rates health inspections and quality measures at 2 out of 5 stars each, staffing at 3. Nothing here suggests danger, but the thin hours and steady churn are worth asking about directly.
Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab in Saint Petersburg is a 59-bed for-profit home, and its biggest strength is nurse staffing: about 4.29 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That's real, but it's not enough to offset everything else. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, with 49 deficiencies on the current record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one abuse-related. Two fines total $312,600, the last inspection was August 2024, and weekend staffing drops about 6% below weekdays. When a home has strong hours but this many inspection problems, the staffing isn't translating into safe care.
Pinellas Park Fl Opco runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its inspection record is the first thing that stands out: 25 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus two tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the last full inspection was December 2023. Staff turnover is the other hard number, 67.9% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the workforce cycles out each year. One fine totaling $19,734 is on record. Quality measures rate better at 3 out of 5, but that's a narrow bright spot against the inspection and staffing picture.
Aviata At Seminole runs on 3.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday levels. The bigger signal is staffing churn: 71.2 percent annual turnover against a national average of 45.8 percent. That's a lot of new faces for 120 residents, and it shows up in a one-star staffing rating and a one-star health inspection record, 37 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, plus eight fines totaling $35,944, with the last inspection in May 2024. The four-star quality measures suggest some care processes are working. But steady caregivers matter more than charts, and this building struggles to keep them.
Tierra Pines Center runs a 120-bed for-profit operation in Largo, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice: 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends thinner still. That shortfall is the main reason the federal staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and it's happening alongside a 58.3 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which means the people caring for your relative are frequently new. The record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, plus one fine of $4,147, with the most recent inspection in January 2025.
