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.

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.

Royal Care of Avon Park runs a for-profit operation with 90 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are better than they look at first glance, 4.15 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 45.4%, basically in line with the national figure. The real concern is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, plus two fines totaling $17,342. That history is what drags the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5, even as the quality measure score sits at the top of the scale.

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.

Desoto Health and Rehab runs 78 beds in Arcadia under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.36 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86. Turnover sits at 39.1%, below the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces. Two things pull the other direction. Weekend staffing drops about 16% below the home's own weekday level, so care may thin out exactly when families visit. And the inspection record is weak: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 10 deficiencies with one at harm level, and a $13,520 fine. The quality measure score of 4/5 reflects clinical outcomes, not the survey history.

The Rehabilitation Center of the Palm Beaches runs on a nonprofit model with 85 certified beds, and its staff retention is the standout number here, 20.7% annual turnover is less than half the national average of 45.8%, which suggests people stick around and know the residents. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The inspection record is fairly clean: 10 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, no abuse findings, one fine of $6,900, and a survey as recent as March 2025.

Braden River Rehabilitation Center runs 208 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers land mostly in the middle. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a little under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, worth knowing if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 47.5%, slightly above the national rate, so continuity of caregivers is a fair question to ask about. The current inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in October 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections are more mixed.

Pearl At Fort Lauderdale runs 206 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot at 36.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in the workforce. Against that, the inspection record is heavy: 41 deficiencies, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $34,937. The last inspection was December 12, 2024, so the picture is recent. Quality measures score well, but quality scores come from resident-level data, not from how well the building is run day to day.

Plantation Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 152 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 4.97 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86. That margin matters most on weekends, when hours dip about 7% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage stays comparatively strong even at its lowest point. Staff turnover is 30.4%, noticeably under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many homes manage but still means about a third of the workforce turns over yearly. The current record shows 14 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025.

Savoy At Fort Lauderdale runs 116 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.74 nurse hours per resident day, about 3% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is the genuine bright spot: 29.7% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home, and the 5/5 quality measure rating reflects that stability. The inspection record tells a harder story, a 2/5 health inspection rating, 35 deficiencies including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $29,816 fine, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. Ask about those abuse deficiencies directly.

Boca Raton Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is retention: 30.4% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. Staff tend to stay. Daily nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident, though, roughly 15% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families visit most.
The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures score well; inspections are the weaker half of the picture. Ask what those 26 citations involved and how weekend coverage is handled on your mother's unit.

Medicana runs on thin margins in a couple of ways, but nothing alarming. Its 3.80 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit just under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, a gap families should ask about directly. Turnover tells a better story: 35.6% versus 45.8% nationally means workers tend to stay longer here than at the average home. The 14 deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2025. A for-profit corporation owns all 116 beds.

Stuart Rehabilitation and Healthcare runs 3.69 nursing hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday coverage. That's a leaner floor than average, though the home keeps its staff: 27.8% annual turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2024. The quality measure score of 2 out of 5 is the weak spot, federal clinical benchmarks like hospitalizations and antipsychotic use don't track as well here as the staffing and inspection results do.

Crystal River Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 150 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.90 hours per resident day against 3.86. That thin margin gets thinner on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover is the bigger number here: 54.1% annually, well above the 45.8% national average, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent, in April 2026. Quality measures score well, but the staffing picture, high churn, weekend dips, is what a family should actually ask about.

Tamarac Center for Rehabilitation and Healing runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest thing going for it: a five-star health inspection rating, with the most recent visit in May 2024 and seven total deficiencies on file, none of them causing harm or jeopardy, and none abuse-related. Staffing is where it gives ground. At 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. The tradeoff is retention: 28.4% annual turnover against a 45.8% national figure means the aides and nurses you meet are likelier to still be there next year.

Legacy at Boca Raton runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average. Weekends dip roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 35.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning caregivers here tend to stay longer than is typical. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related; the last survey was in August 2025. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results sit mid-range, which is what holds this home back from the top tier.

Advanced Care Center runs 120 certified beds in Clearwater under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits about 9% under the national average at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day. That gap widens on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 7% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 51.4% tops the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but one is abuse-related, and the most recent survey dates to December 2024. Quality measures score well; staffing and inspections land in the middle. Families weighing this home should ask directly about weekend coverage and how quickly caregivers cycle through.

Hamlin Place of Boynton Beach runs on nonprofit ownership and holds 120 certified beds. Nurse staffing sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is the standout figure: 23.2% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay.
The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, one abuse-related, none at harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was December 11, 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars while staffing earns 4, which fits a home that's better at keeping people than at hitting clinical benchmarks.

East Ridge runs a tight operation on the clinical side: quality measures come in at the top of CMS's five-star scale, and the staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at four stars. Nurse hours per resident day land at 3.83, roughly in line with the national average, though weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family member needs more hands-on help on Saturdays and Sundays. The current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine of $8,788. Staff turnover of 43.2% is slightly better than the national rate, which matters for continuity of care.

Solaris Healthcare Plant City runs 180 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its numbers are steady across the board. Nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86, though weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover lands at 42.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around a bit longer here. The inspection record is the strongest part: a 5/5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in February 2024, with 7 total deficiencies and none at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related.
