All 21 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Orlando,
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.
Westminster Baldwin Park runs about 5.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national average, and weekend staffing dips only about 14% below its own weekday level, which matters because weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly fall apart. Annual turnover sits at 20% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The inspection record shows eight deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in January 2026. This is a 40-bed nonprofit, and the numbers suggest steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.
Solaris Healthcare Windermere runs on a non-profit model in Orlando with 120 beds, and its inspection record is the strongest thing about it, a five-star health inspection rating with just six deficiencies on the books, only one of which rose to the harm or jeopardy level. That's a clean sheet for a home this size, and no abuse findings at all. Staffing is where it gets more ordinary: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day sits about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday numbers, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The offsetting fact is turnover at 15.5%, well under the national 45.8%, the same faces, year after year, which matters more than a decimal.
South Orange runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 115 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% above the national average, though weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover lands at 39.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections in February 2025 turned up 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but three tied to abuse, which you should ask about directly. Two fines totaling $14,442 round out the record.
Solaris Healthcare East Orlando runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.4% sits well under the national 45.8%, that combination usually means steadier hands on the floor. The catch is weekends, when staffing drops about 11% below the home's own weekday levels, so care may feel thinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors gave it 4 of 5 stars with 10 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is current. A for-profit LLC, 110 beds.
Aviata At Rosewood runs 120 beds in Orlando under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. Turnover is 42.2%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors cited 34 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in September 2025. The quality measure stars look strong; the inspection history and below-average staffing are the parts worth asking about directly.
Westminster Towers is a 120-bed nonprofit in Orlando, and its numbers pull in two directions. The clinical quality measures look strong, but the inspection record is where families should focus: 22 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with two fines totaling just over $22,000. Nurse staffing sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, running roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level. The last inspection was in March 2025, so the picture is current.
Life Care Center of Orlando runs 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent above the national average. That's a real cushion, though weekend coverage dips roughly 12 percent below what the building does on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits mostly Saturdays and Sundays.
The record shows 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating. State inspectors were last in on December 18, 2025, so the findings are recent. Corporate for-profit ownership and a 5-out-of-5 quality measure score round things out. Strong staffing and clean inspections carry more weight here than the raw deficiency count suggests.
Palm Garden of Orlando runs 132 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits right at the line, 3.81 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the brighter spot: 38.1% compared to the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 16 deficiencies on file, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $73,226. The most recent inspection was November 2024, so that picture is current. Ask about those harm-level findings specifically, and how weekend coverage gets backfilled.
Delaney Park runs 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The health inspection side is the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on record, one tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing is middling. The nonprofit's numbers point to a stable workforce covering thinner weekend shifts, with inspection history worth asking about directly.
Metro West Nursing and Rehab Center is a for-profit limited liability company home in Orlando with 120 certified beds, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025, so the findings are current. Staff turnover of 43.2% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care.
Avante At Orlando runs 118 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends dip roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the weekday numbers tell a better story than Saturday and Sunday do.
The current inspection record carries nine deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with no abuse citations. The last full inspection was February 2026, so the picture is recent. Nothing here suggests a home in crisis, but that one harm-level finding is the item worth asking about directly before you decide.
Hunters Creek runs a for-profit LLC with 116 beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.03 hours per resident day, a little above the national average of 3.86, so coverage is decent on paper. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Turnover of 35.6% actually beats the national 45.8%, so the crew tends to stick around. But the inspection record is the problem: 14 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with $67,191 in fines across three penalties. The last inspection was December 2024.
Lotus Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 beds in Orlando under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last state inspection was in October 2024, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. That record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is a serious pattern for a single home. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 34.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection and staffing ratings tell the harder story.
Conway Lakes runs 120 certified beds in Orlando under for-profit partnership ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.99 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover of 45.4% lands right at the national norm, so retention isn't the problem here. The trouble shows up in its record: 31 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $94,672. A recent inspection in September 2025 means the findings are current, not stale. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history is what drags the overall picture down.
Guardian Care runs 120 beds in Orlando under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 4 percent below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 78.6 percent of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. Inspections in March 2025 turned up 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a $15,737 fine. Quality measures look relatively strong by comparison, but that staffing churn and inspection record are the things worth asking about directly.
Solaris Healthcare College Park runs 108 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Nurses provide 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 9% below weekdays, and turnover hits 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $46,804 in fines across three penalties. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality ratings aren't the problem, the 2/5 staffing rating is, and it lines up with what the hours and turnover show.
Courtyards of Orlando runs 120 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 51.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measure scoring is the weak spot here, 1 out of 5 stars, while staffing and health inspection each land at 3.
Nurse staffing here runs about 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below the home's own weekday level. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with 16 fines totaling $117,410. Staff turnover sits at 44.1 percent, marginally better than the 45.8 percent national figure, but that's cold comfort against a one-star health inspection rating and a July 2025 inspection that found serious problems. If you're weighing this one, ask pointed questions about the abuse-related citations and what has actually changed since.
Orlando Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 391-bed nonprofit home where the staffing numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 3.37 hours per resident each day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends run slightly leaner than weekdays, but turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder problem: 67 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 6 tied to abuse, with a $65,951 fine and a June 2025 inspection. One star for health inspections against four for staffing is an unusual split, and it's worth asking what those abuse citations involved before you decide.
The Commons at Orlando Lutheran Towers runs a nonprofit shop with 168 beds, and the staffing numbers hold up: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 41.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters over time more than any single month's numbers. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. All three CMS star categories come in at 4 out of 5. The honest read: steady, well-staffed, no red flags, though the weekend drop and the deficiencies are worth asking about on a tour.
