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.
Eagle Lake Nursing and Rehab in Saint Petersburg is a 59-bed for-profit home, and its biggest strength is nurse staffing: about 4.29 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. That's real, but it's not enough to offset everything else. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, with 49 deficiencies on the current record, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one abuse-related. Two fines total $312,600, the last inspection was August 2024, and weekend staffing drops about 6% below weekdays. When a home has strong hours but this many inspection problems, the staffing isn't translating into safe care.
Aventura At The Bay runs 274 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to get around. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself manages on weekdays. Staff turnover is 62.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago.
The inspection history is heavier still: 62 deficiencies on the current record, seven at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse. CMS has fined this home three times for $466,424 total and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Concordia Manor runs 39 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits barely above the national average, about 1%, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. That margin disappears fast when turnover hits 73.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is the real problem: 17 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, one $97,747 fine, and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. That last designation isn't handed out lightly. The most recent inspection was May 2024, so the picture is current, not stale.
