All 23 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Saint Petersburg,
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.
Addington Place At College Harbor runs 4.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 34.8% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable floor. Weekend staffing dips about 10% below weekday levels, so ask how weekend coverage actually looks. Ten deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was September 2024. State survey results and quality measures both came back strong. For-profit operation under a limited liability company, 52 beds.
Laurellwood runs about 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip about 6% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.3% runs above the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $37,316 fine. Its quality measure scores are strong, but a two-star inspection rating and that deficiency list are the parts worth asking about directly.
Bay Pointe Nursing Pavilion runs about 3.30 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip another 6% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 50.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the hands-on care picture is thinner than average and the workforce turns over faster than most.
The inspection record is cleaner than those numbers suggest: 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, from a January 2024 survey. Quality measures score well. For a 120-bed for-profit, the real question is whether low staffing and high turnover catch up to the clinical record over time.
Bayside Care Center runs 92 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.36 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 34.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a single $3,728 fine and a recent March 2026 survey. Quality and staffing both earned 4 stars from CMS; health inspections came in at 3.
North Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center is a 45-bed for-profit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 9% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Against that, turnover is 30.2%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections sit in the middle.
Marion And Bernard L Samson Nursing Center runs a nonprofit home with 180 beds in Saint Petersburg, and its staffing sits just above the national average at 3.91 hours per resident day. That edge is thin, though, and weekends tell a different story, coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday levels, which is when falls and missed care tend to happen. Turnover runs 47.4%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, so the faces change often.
On paper the clinical quality scores look strong, but the inspection record is the weak spot: 17 deficiencies, one tied to abuse, and a March 2024 inspection that already feels dated. Nothing on the current record rose to harm or jeopardy level, which matters.
Apollo Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 99 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 5% leaner than weekdays. That thin margin matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday. Turnover is 44.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure but still high enough that familiar faces aren't guaranteed. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was June 2024. Where this home stands out is its 5/5 quality measure rating; its inspection rating is 2/5, and staffing lands at 3/5.
Lexington Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs 159 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $17,345 fine; the last survey was July 2025. Turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 2/5 on inspections and 2/5 on staffing.
The 96-bed for-profit home on the Pinellas County side of St. Petersburg carries a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, with 40 deficiencies on its current record, four of them abuse-related, none at the harm or jeopardy level. That's a heavy paper trail, and the most recent inspection came in July 2025.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins exactly when families visit.
The number that stands out most is turnover: 70% annually against a national 45.8%. Nearly three-quarters of the nursing staff leaving in a year is a lot of churn around residents who need consistency.
Alhambra Healthcare runs 60 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, and turnover hits 55.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year.
The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in March 2025, so the problems are real but haven't risen to serious harm. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5 stars, which may reflect good clinical documentation more than consistent bedside coverage. The weak spots are staffing and inspections, not resident outcomes on paper.
Alpine Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 57-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and its inspection record is the first thing to know: 25 deficiencies on the current record, one of them at the harm level, with a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating and a survey dated January 2026. Staffing sits at 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 5% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 52.9% against a 45.8% national rate, so more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The quality measure rating of 3 out of 5 is the stronger part of the picture; the inspection history and thin coverage are the parts to ask about directly.
Balanced Healthcare runs 299 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are actually its strongest feature, 3.85 nurse hours per resident day sits right at the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only dips about 6% below weekdays. Turnover at 34.3% also beats the national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers cycling out the door. The trouble shows up everywhere else. Inspectors have cited 28 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, with $114,133 in fines across two penalties. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5, and the most recent inspection was November 2024.
Shore Acres runs 109 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Pinellas County, and its last full health inspection came through in May 2024, recent enough that the record reflects how the home operates now. The 15 deficiencies on file sound like a lot until you notice none were cited at the harm or jeopardy level, and none were abuse-related; that pattern usually points to documentation and process problems rather than residents being put in danger. The middle-of-the-road inspection rating is the main thing holding this one back, and with a for-profit operator, staffing levels are worth asking about directly before you visit.
Brighton Bay runs 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekend staffing dips about 7% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 58.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over in a year. The health inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy; the last inspection was March 2025. Quality measures score well, which is where much of the grade comes from, but staffing and inspections are the weaker parts of this picture.
Abbey Rehabilitation And Nursing Center is a 132-bed nonprofit home in Saint Petersburg, and the numbers split in two directions. Nurses provide 3.22 hours per resident per day, about 17 percent under the national average, with weekends running thinner still, and staff turnover sits at 52.7 percent, meaning roughly half the caregivers leave within a year. The inspection record is the harder problem: 32 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, five tied to abuse, and $139,355 in fines, against a one-star health inspection rating. A four-star staffing score and three-star quality measures don't offset that, especially with the most recent inspection in April 2026.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
