Avante At Ocala runs 133 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.43 per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday staffing, and turnover sits at 47%, just slightly above the national 45.8%. Those numbers line up with a 2/5 CMS staffing star, while the health inspection record shows a 1/5 star with 31 deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none abuse-related. The 4/5 quality measure star is the strongest number here, and the most recent inspection was March 2026. If staffing coverage is your priority, ask about weekend shifts specifically.

Childrens Care Center in Pompano Beach runs 36 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its record is genuinely mixed. Inspectors have logged 42 deficiencies, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, and two fines total $12,360. The staffing picture is the real weak spot: a one-out-of-five staffing rating, even though annual turnover of 42.5% comes in slightly better than the 45.8% national average. Quality measures score four out of five, so clinical care looks steadier than the day-to-day inspection history suggests. The last survey was November 2024, so the findings are current.

North Dade runs 245 beds and sits below the national staffing average, about 3.51 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends thinner still, roughly a tenth under its own weekday coverage. Turnover at 24.7% is genuinely low next to the 45.8% national figure, so the same caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder part: 50 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $128,281 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was January 28, 2026, so the findings are current, not stale. Strong quality scores and stable staff don't cancel out a citation history that serious.

The Club At Lake Gibson runs 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 10% below its own weekday numbers. That thin margin shows up in staffing turnover too: 54.7% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly one in two caregivers left last year. Its health inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, though the last survey was January 2025. The quality star sits at 5 out of 5, but staffing and inspection stars both land at 2, and the gap between those ratings is worth asking about directly.

Glades Health Care Center runs 120 beds in Pahokee under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average. Weekends dip about 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins slightly when families tend to visit. The current inspection record shows 10 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars, the weakest part of the profile. What that means practically: adequate hands-on time, a survey history without serious harm findings, and some room to improve on clinical outcomes.

Lake Eustis Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.2 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 16% under the national average, and weekend staffing barely changes from weekdays, so the thin coverage is consistent, not just a weekday problem. Staff turnover sits at 46%, essentially the national rate. What stands out is the gap between ratings: the five-star quality measure score looks strong, but the one-star health inspection rating and 19 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, tell a different story. Two fines totaling $17,345 are on record, and the last inspection was recent. For-profit, individually owned, 90 beds.

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.

Winter Haven Health And Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. That thin margin matters more than the star ratings suggest: 25 deficiencies sit on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, and a single fine of $4,190 has been assessed. Staff turnover lands at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which is a real point in its favor. The last inspection was January 2024. Nonprofit ownership with a clean harm record and steady retention are genuine strengths, the staffing number is where families should focus their questions.

Tarpon Bayou Center runs lean on nurse staffing, 3.16 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip slightly below its own weekday numbers, which matters if your family visits on Saturdays. What stands out in a good way is the 23.1% turnover rate, roughly half the national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The 24 deficiencies on record include none involving harm or abuse, and the single fine of $10,170 is modest for a 114-bed home. The one-star inspection rating reflects a rough survey history, last visited in April 2024, even as the quality and staffing marks land at three stars each.

Vivo Healthcare Wauchula runs about 11% leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, 3.42 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. The turnover picture runs the other way: 34.4% annual staff turnover sits well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Inspectors logged 23 deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last visit in June 2024. Its health inspection and staffing ratings both land at 2 out of 5; quality measures come in at 3.

Avante At Lake Worth runs 138 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.1%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the staffing star rating reflects that relative stability. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies on the current record, including one at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus three fines totaling $28,275. The most recent inspection was May 30, 2025.

Longwood Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is genuinely better than most, 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. The trouble is what that staffing is working around. The current inspection record carries 31 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $16,801 in fines. Staff turnover sits at 56.2%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people delivering that above-average care are cycling out fast. The last inspection was October 2025.

Siesta Key Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Sarasota under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends dip about 3% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 57% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning a lot of unfamiliar faces. The inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, 8 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding and a single fine of $317,977. Quality and staffing each earned 4 stars from CMS, but the last inspection was August 2024.

Highlands Lake Center runs 179 beds in Lakeland under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.32 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends dipping about 7 percent below its own weekday levels. That thinner coverage shows up against a 53.5 percent annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, meaning the people providing care are changing often. The current record carries 32 deficiencies from a March 2024 inspection, though none reached harm or jeopardy and none involved abuse, which matters. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 suggests outcomes look better than the staffing and inspection numbers alone would predict, but consistent hands-on coverage is the thing to ask about directly.

Sabal Palms runs 244 beds in Largo under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.00 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover lands at 39.8%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The concern is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating and the most recent survey from July 2024. Quality and staffing measures both come in at 3/5. Families should ask directly how those abuse-related citations were resolved and what weekend coverage looks like in practice.

Plymouth Harbor is a nonprofit home in Sarasota with 56 beds, and its nurse staffing runs about 5.31 hours per resident day, roughly 37% above the national average, which helps explain the solid inspection and quality scores. A recent inspection in March 2025 turned up five deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one was abuse-related, so it's worth asking about directly. The bigger concern is staff turnover: nearly 72% annually versus about 46% nationally, meaning the people caring for residents change often. That churn can undercut even good staffing numbers. Weekend coverage also dips slightly below weekday levels.

Vivo Healthcare Taylor runs about 53% annual staff turnover, a few points above the national average of 45.8%. That churn matters more than the star ratings suggest, a five-out-of-five health inspection score from October 2025 is genuinely strong, and the quality measures land at four stars, but six deficiencies sit on the current record, including one tied to abuse. None rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy, which is the distinction worth holding onto. As a nonprofit corporation running 120 beds in Jacksonville, the home has the inspection track record most families hope for. The staffing instability is the open question, since turnover shapes daily care in ways a survey snapshot can't capture.

The inspection record is the first thing you'd want to know about: 28 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. CMS gives the health inspection side of this home one star out of five. Staffing is also thin, 3.72 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% below weekdays, so your Saturday coverage looks lighter than the weekday schedule suggests. Annual turnover sits at 45.7%, essentially matching the national rate. It's a 45-bed for-profit, last inspected in July 2024. The quality measures come in mid-range at three stars, but that's the part of the record least supported by the rest.

Gulf Shore Care Center runs 120 certified beds in Pinellas Park under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 4% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests less churn than most homes manage. Inspections in March 2026 turned up 20 deficiencies, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The staffing and inspection ratings land mid-range at 3 stars each, while quality measures reach 4.

Aspire At Evans runs about 14% below the national average on nurse staffing, at 3.31 hours per resident day, and weekends dip further below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 42.9%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which is one of the few numbers here that isn't working against it. The inspection record is the real weight: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 38 deficiencies including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus $50,028 in fines across three penalties. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how those harm-level citations were resolved.
