Nursing homes across Seminole 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 Altamonte Springs runs 228 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with turnover at 33.6% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay longer here than at most homes. Weekends thin out about 11% from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays.
The inspection record is where the concerns sit: 27 deficiencies on the current record, 8 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, 3 tied to abuse, and one $83,493 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the findings are recent, and the 1-star health inspection rating reflects that. Strong quality measure scores don't cancel out a citation history like this.
Nurse staffing at Village On The Green runs 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, and turnover of 42.4% is slightly better than the typical 45.8%. But look closer: weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, and the current record carries 10 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy. Inspectors were last on site in March 2025. The quality measure rating sits at 5 out of 5, and health inspection and staffing each land at 4, yet a nonprofit with 60 beds scoring well on paper still shows that one harm-level finding and thinner weekend staffing. That gap between ratings and the record is what a C reflects.
Tuskawilla runs a bit lean on nurse staffing, 3.78 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below what the home staffs during the week, so families should ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 45.1%, essentially in line with the national rate of 45.8%, which tells you this isn't a retention outlier in either direction. The inspection record is the strong part: a 5/5 health inspection rating, five total deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, and a June 2024 survey. One abuse-related deficiency is on the books, though, and it's worth asking about directly.
Harborview Health Center West Altamonte runs 116 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.56 total nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33% against a national 45.8% means more of the same faces stay on staff. On inspections, though, this home has drawn 19 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with two fines totaling $18,106. Its most recent inspection was October 2024.
Aviata At Lake Mary runs about 3.41 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends dip another 10% below its own weekdays. That thinner coverage shows up in its staffing rating. The quality measures look strong, but the inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, none rising to harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2024. Turnover sits at 47%, a touch above the national figure. It's a for-profit LLC with 120 beds. The clinical numbers are better than the hands available to deliver them; ask how they cover weekends before you decide.
Longwood Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is genuinely better than most, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. The trouble is what that staffing is working around. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $16,801 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 56.2%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people delivering that above-average care are cycling out fast. The last inspection was October 2025.
Island Lake Center runs 120 certified beds in Longwood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers split in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, a 5/5 from CMS there, but nurse staffing lands at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday coverage. That staffing shortfall is the main reason CMS gives it 2/5 on staffing. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 26, 2026, so the record is current rather than stale. Fewer hands per resident is the thing to ask about directly when you visit.
Solaris Healthcare Forest Lake runs 222 certified beds in Apopka under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national mark, 3.83 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, with weekends running about 4% lighter than its own weekdays. That thin margin matters more than it looks, because weekend coverage is where shortfalls tend to show up. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.5% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests workers are staying longer than at the typical home. Nine deficiencies are on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $15,269 has been levied. The last inspection was March 2025, so the picture is reasonably current.
Healthcare And Rehab Of Sanford is a 114-bed nonprofit home in Seminole County, and the numbers tell a fairly steady story rather than an alarming one. Nurse staffing sits at 3.23 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86, which is the main weak spot here, weekend coverage dips only about 3% below weekdays, so the shortfall is consistent rather than a weekend problem. Staff turnover of 43.8% is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%. Fifteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. Nothing here suggests danger; the tradeoff is thinner daily nursing hours than most homes.
Legacy Pointe At Ucf runs 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing comes with heavy churn: 71.3% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing most of that care are frequently new. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $26,685 in fines and a March 2026 inspection date that's still recent enough to be relevant. A nonprofit corporation owns the 48-bed home. Strong quality measure scores don't erase a 2-star inspection rating.
