Life Care Center Of Sarasota runs 120 certified beds on the individual for-profit side, and its staffing tells a two-part story: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day sits about 3% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 45.2%, essentially level with the national 45.8%. The record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $18,780. Its last inspection was September 18, 2025. Quality measures score 5/5 while inspection and staffing each land at 3/5, strong clinical numbers, thinner coverage when you visit on a Saturday.

Brynwood Health and Rehabilitation Center in Monticello runs on leaner nurse staffing than most homes, 3.49 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is a different story: 36.4% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Its 8 deficiencies include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse citations, and a March 2026 inspection is recent. The five-star health inspection rating and four-star quality measures carry the record; staffing is the weak spot.

Buffalo Crossings runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.11 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average. That sounds solid until you notice weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families actually visit on is thinner than the weekday numbers suggest. Staff turnover is 47%, slightly worse than the national 45.8%. The inspection record carries 17 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, though the most recent inspection was July 2025 and earned four stars. Quality measures score five stars. The gap between strong quality scores and that deficiency list is worth asking about directly.

Solaris Healthcare Waterman runs 120 certified beds in Tavares under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here are mostly steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, though weekends drop about 14% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover lands at 44.7%, essentially matching the national rate, so this isn't a home bleeding caregivers. Seventeen deficiencies are on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures and inspections both score well above average; staffing is close behind.

The Gardens at Terracina runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86, and its 30 beds make for a small, closely staffed building. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Annual turnover sits at 52.4%, above the 45.8% national figure, so ask how long the current director of nursing and weekday charge nurse have been there. Four deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, two fines totaling $10,881, and a clean inspection in May 2024. Corporate-owned and consistently well-staffed.

South Dade Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest asset is stability: staff turnover of 17.1% sits far below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. That matters more than a single star rating. The tradeoff shows up in hours at the bedside, 3.54 per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage can feel lighter when families visit. Inspections in December 2025 produced a 4-star result, but the record carries 21 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; the harm findings are what a family should ask about directly.

Chatham Glen sits in The Villages with 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership. Its nurse staffing comes in at 3.99 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 47.8%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces each week. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies but none at harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. The five-star quality measure rating stands out against a three-star staffing rating.

Destination Health and Rehabilitation Center in Destin runs 119 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely clean: zero deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with a survey completed in May 2026. Nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just barely above the national average of 3.86, so it isn't staffing richly, it's staffing at par, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday level. The number worth sitting with is turnover: 57.1% against a national average of 45.8%. People are leaving faster than usual here, and that's the thing to ask about when you tour.

West Melbourne Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average. Weekends drop about 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 47.4%, a touch above the national 45.8%. The inspection history shows 37 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated December 2025. Quality and staffing measures both score well, but the inspection rating does not.

Surrey Place runs 19 deficiencies on its current record, and three of those rose to the harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse. That's the number I'd want to understand before anything else, since serious deficiencies mean a surveyor found actual risk to residents, not paperwork problems. The inspection itself is recent, from October 2025, and the 4/5 health inspection and quality measure ratings suggest the home has largely corrected what was cited. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 13% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters most on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when families typically visit.

Olive Branch runs 4.86 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more than the national average, and its last inspection in April 2025 turned up 11 deficiencies with none causing harm and nothing abuse-related. Weekend staffing dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 54.8% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses around your family member change often. For-profit, LLC-owned, 90 beds. The inspection record is the strongest part of the picture; the churn is the part worth asking about when you tour.

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.

Oak Manor runs 180 certified beds under limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. Turnover is the bright spot: 37.6% against a national 45.8%, which suggests some stability in the workforce. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with one fine of $4,017. Its last inspection was January 2024, and the quality measure rating comes in at the top of the scale while inspection and staffing sit mid-range.

Emerald Coast Center runs 120 certified beds in Fort Walton Beach under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurses deliver 3.23 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 42.2% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, meaning staff stick around a bit longer than average. Inspectors last visited in September 2025 and cited 15 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse findings. Two fines totaling $17,114 round out the enforcement record.

Aventura Rehab and Nursing Center runs 86 certified beds in North Miami Beach, corporate-owned and for-profit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday numbers, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses here stick around longer than at the typical home.
The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. What stands out is the combination of low harm-level findings and steady staffing.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 36.7% against a national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than many peers. The inspection record is the concern. Twenty-eight deficiencies, three tied to abuse, and a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. Last survey was March 2024, so that picture is reasonably current.

Seabranch runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.41 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover sits below the national figure, which matters more than it sounds, since stable aides know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 8% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record is clean where it counts: 17 deficiencies, none causing harm or involving abuse, and the most recent survey was in February 2026. The weak spot is the quality measure score, which comes in low even though the health inspection rating is perfect. Corporate-owned and for-profit, 120 beds.

Windsor Woods runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.24 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip a bit further below its own weekday level. That matters, because fewer hands per resident is where problems tend to start. The trade-off is a workforce that mostly stays put: turnover of 26.8% is well under the national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses here are more likely to know your family member. Sixteen deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve harm, with the last inspection in June 2024. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing sit in the middle. Nonprofit ownership means no investor pressure, though it doesn't erase the thin hours.

Aviata At Countryside runs about 10% leaner on nurse staffing than the national average, 3.47 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 9% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news sits in the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last state visit in September 2024. Staff turnover of 37.1% beats the national 45.8%, suggesting people stay longer here than at the typical home. Quality and staffing both earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; inspections came in at 3.

The most recent inspection was July 2025.
