Lakeside Center runs 122 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating, eight deficiencies on the current record with none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and a recent survey from October 2025. Where it slips is staffing. At 3.56 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average, and its staffing star rating lands at 2 out of 5. Weekend coverage drops roughly 6% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 61% against a national 45.8%. Good inspections, thinner day-to-day coverage, worth asking about direct-care hours on weekends before deciding.

Wedgewood runs on 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent under the national average of 3.86. That shortfall is why its staffing rating sits at the bottom of CMS's scale, and it's worth knowing that weekend coverage doesn't drop further from its own weekday level. Turnover is 47.7 percent, slightly above the national 45.8 percent, so the faces around residents change fairly often.
The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations. State surveyors last visited in December 2024. Quality measures score well above average, but that number reflects charted care, not hours worked at the bedside. A for-profit corporation owns the 120-bed home.

Lady Lake Specialty Care Center runs 145 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts. Nurses give 3.52 hours per resident each day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Annual turnover hits 60.2% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are cycling out faster than most places. Inspectors cited 26 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, though none involved abuse. The last inspection was December 18, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well, but that's the piece families notice least when call lights go unanswered.

Solaris Healthcare College Park runs 108 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below where you'd want them. Nurses provide 3.65 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 9% below weekdays, and turnover hits 50.4%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $46,804 in fines across three penalties. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the 3/5 health inspection and 4/5 quality ratings aren't the problem, the 2/5 staffing rating is, and it lines up with what the hours and turnover show.

Aviata At Sarasota runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.47 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 9% below its own weekday level. That matters because staffing is where problems usually start: the home carries 36 deficiencies on its current record, three serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and seven fines totaling $39,846. Its health inspection rating sits at the lowest rung, and annual turnover of 64.6% means nearly two of every three caregivers left last year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure score is strong, but strong outcome numbers are hard to sustain when the people delivering care keep changing.

Lake Wales Health And Rehabilitation Center runs 3.51 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 4% below what the home staffs during the week. Turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the staffing picture isn't the main problem here. The inspection record is: a one-star health inspection rating, 34 deficiencies on file, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $46,800 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2024. A for-profit corporation operates the 100-bed home. Quality and staffing measures both came in at three stars, so the gap between those and the inspection history is worth asking about directly.

Gulfport Nursing Center runs 126 beds in Pasadena under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 10% thinner than weekdays. Turnover runs 47.5% against a national 45.8%, so the people at the bedside keep changing. What stands out most is the inspection record: 26 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $17,291, with the last inspection in June 2025. Its quality and staffing scores read middle-of-the-road, but the enforcement history is what a family should weigh.

Orlando Health Center For Rehabilitation is a small place, just 10 certified beds, and its last inspection, in February 2025, came back clean enough to earn the top federal rating for health inspections. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none causing actual harm, though two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Where the numbers turn is staffing: the federal staffing rating is 1 out of 5, the lowest tier, and at a 10-bed home that thin coverage has less room to absorb a bad night. Corporate, for-profit ownership. Good inspection results, weak daily staffing, that combination is the whole story here.

Vivo Healthcare Winter Haven runs 120 beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9 percent below the home's own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record carries 45 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated April 10, 2025. Federal staffing and health inspection stars both sit at 1 out of 5, while quality measures come in at 3. That split is worth noticing: the clinical tracking looks steadier than the day-to-day staffing and inspection history behind it.

The staffing numbers at this Lutz home are the first thing to look at, one star out of five, which means nurse and aide hours per resident sit well below what CMS expects. Quality measures score high at four stars, so the chart-based data on falls, infections, and similar metrics looks better than the day-to-day coverage would suggest. The inspection record is harder to ignore: 25 deficiencies, including one that caused actual harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse, plus a $50,225 fine. A for-profit LLC runs it, and the most recent inspection was April 2024. If you're considering this one, ask directly how they've addressed the abuse citation and what staffing looks like on weekends.

Aviata At Emerald Shores runs 77 certified beds in Callaway, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble shows. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.4% against a 45.8% national average means a good share of the people providing that care are still learning the building.
The inspection record is cleaner: 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related, and the last visit was March 2025. Corporate ownership, for what it's worth. The care itself hasn't drawn serious citations, the concern is how much consistent attention is available day to day.

If you're weighing Rehab & Healthcare Center of Cape Coral, the numbers put two different pictures side by side. The clinical quality measures that track things like pain and mobility come in well above average, and there's no record of a deficiency causing actual harm to a resident. But the people delivering that care are stretched thin, 3.25 nurse hours per resident each day runs about 16% under the national average, weekend coverage dips a further 6%, and half the staff turned over in the past year, a bit above the national rate. That combination usually shows up as inconsistency, not catastrophe. A single abuse-related deficiency and roughly $32,000 in fines across three citations round out a record that's more uneven than alarming.

Riverside Post Acute runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 7% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 52.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means familiar faces are hard to count on. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus $17,777 in fines. The last inspection was recent, December 2025, and the three-star ratings across health, quality, and staffing suggest a home that's neither failing nor standing out. Ask direct questions about weekend coverage and how they screen and retain aides.

Charlotte Bay runs 164 beds in Port Charlotte under corporate ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. Nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends dropping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39.9% actually beats the national 45.8%, which means the people who stay are, on paper, a relatively stable group.
The inspection record is the harder part. Twenty-eight deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $274,053. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2025. Quality and staffing measures score well; the survey history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Courtyards of Orlando runs 120 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 51.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turns over each year. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measure scoring is the weak spot here, 1 out of 5 stars, while staffing and health inspection each land at 3.

The Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of New Port Richey runs 120 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the clearest signal here: 3.54 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.8% against a 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up, a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. The last survey was December 2024, so the record is fairly current. Quality measures score a middling 3, but staffing lands at 1. When turnover is this high and weekend coverage thins out, ask who's actually on the floor on a Sunday.

The Terrace At Courtenay Springs runs 80 certified beds in Merritt Island under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. The bigger number is turnover: 69.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your family member are relatively new. Its current record carries 25 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2026, so the picture is fairly current. Three stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Nspire Healthcare Plantation runs 120 beds in Broward County under corporate ownership, and the staffing number is the one to pay attention to: 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 44%, close to the national 45.8%, so retention isn't the outlier here, raw coverage is. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with eight fines totaling $35,989, and the last inspection was August 2024. Inspection and quality measures both land mid-range; staffing is the weakest of the three.

Belleair Health Care Center sits in Clearwater with 120 certified beds under for-profit partnership ownership. Its most recent health inspection, in August 2025, turned up 14 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, which matters more than the raw count suggests. Nurse staffing lands at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, but weekends run roughly 19% leaner than weekdays. The bigger concern is turnover: 64.8% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two of every three caregivers left within the year. Consistent inspection results, unstable floor staff, that combination is what shapes the outlook here.

Seven Hills runs 156 beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers show a building leaning on its clinical outcomes to offset thin staffing. Nurse coverage sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national figure, with weekends running about 8% lighter than weekdays, a pattern families often notice as slower response times on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bigger concern: 58.1% of staff leave annually against a national rate of about 45.8%, meaning the people caring for your relative are frequently new to the building. The 14 deficiencies on record include one abuse-related citation, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in March 2026. Quality measures look strong; staffing is where the risk sits.
