All 6 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Largo,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Oak Manor runs 180 certified beds under limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.6% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $4,017. Its last inspection was January 2024, and the quality measure rating comes in at the top of the scale while inspection and staffing sit mid-range.
Sabal Palms runs 244 beds in Largo under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The concern is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey from July 2024. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 3/5. Families should ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved and what weekend coverage looks like in practice.
Palm Garden of Pinellas runs 120 beds in Largo under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the main thing to know. The current file lists 31 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding. Two fines totaling $10,039 are on record, and the most recent inspection was May 15, 2025. Staffing sits at 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, with weekends roughly 8% lighter than weekdays, and turnover runs 57.9% against a national 45.8%. The quality measure score looks good, but quality measures are self-reported, and 31 deficiencies with three at harm level is a lot to weigh against them.
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.
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.
Aviata At Bryan Dairy runs 158 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.37 total nurse staffing hours per resident day falls about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 54.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The inspection record is where things get serious: 41 deficiencies logged, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $45,660. CMS rated the last health inspection one out of five stars, though its quality measure score came in at four. Worth asking the administrator directly how they're addressing the harm-level findings and weekend coverage gaps.
