Life Care Center of Citrus County runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.82 hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover is 41.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the team here is somewhat more stable than average. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly, even though the most recent inspection came recently, in February 2026.

Diamond Ridge runs a tight ship on inspections. A 4 out of 5 health inspection star and a 5 out of 5 quality measure star, with a 2025 survey date that's recent enough to mean something. Thirteen deficiencies on record, but none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. That's a real distinction, not a technicality. Staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86. Essentially at the line, and weekends drop about 10% below weekdays, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Turnover at 43% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, though still high enough that familiar faces rotate out. Individual for-profit ownership is worth asking about directly.

Aviata At Brentwood runs 120 certified beds in Lecanto under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 64.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around a resident change often. Its last health inspection was August 15, 2024, and 28 deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is a meaningful distinction. The two-out-of-five inspection and staffing stars tell you where the strain is, not the three-out-of-five quality measure rating.
