Shands Jacksonville runs a tight ship. Nurse staffing sits at 5.79 hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and only about 27% of the nursing staff turns over in a year, well under the 45.8% national figure. Weekend coverage dips around 14% below weekday levels, the one soft spot worth asking about.
The inspection record is spotless: zero deficiencies, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in February 2026. This is a nonprofit hospital-based unit with 56 beds, and its staffing and quality scores back up what the numbers say.

Vi at Lakeside Village runs 5.56 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 44% above the national average of 3.86, that's a real staffing cushion, not a marginal one, and it's the main reason this home stands out. Just as telling: annual turnover sits at 12.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents mostly stay put, which matters more than any single inspection score. Weekend staffing drops about 14% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Ten deficiencies are on record with none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was February 2026, recent enough to trust.

Westminster St Augustine runs a small house, 30 certified beds under church-related nonprofit ownership, and the numbers suggest it's staffed accordingly. Nurse coverage sits at 4.38 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and weekend hours dip only about 5% below weekday levels. Staff turnover is the standout: 16.7% against a national average near 46%, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines and catch changes early. On the inspection side, the home carries just three deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its last survey completed in August 2025. Federal ratings land at five stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Bentley Care Center runs on unusually heavy staffing for a for-profit home, 6.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly two-thirds above the national average, and turnover sits at 31%, well under the typical 46%. That combination is the main reason it scores as well as it does. The softer spots are worth knowing about: weekend coverage drops about 10% below its own weekday levels, and the last health inspection turned up 17 deficiencies, though none involved actual harm or abuse. Inspectors were last in the building in November 2024. The two-star inspection rating says the paperwork and physical plant have had problems; the five-star staffing rating says someone is usually there when a resident needs help.

Riviera Health Resort runs 4.80 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that staffing shows up as five stars from CMS on both staffing and quality measures. Turnover sits at 38.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops about 13% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean where it counts: six deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in October 2025. For a 223-bed for-profit in Coral Gables, the numbers hold up.

Kindred Hospital South Florida Hollywood runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 30-bed home, 5.03 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, which is why CMS gives it the top staffing mark. Turnover sits at 23.5%, about half the national rate, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The trade-off shows up in inspections: 19 deficiencies on the current record, though none involved harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was in December 2024. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits then.

The Health Center at Sinai Residences runs 5.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly half again the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with 22.5% annual turnover against a national figure near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so if you're visiting on a Saturday, expect a lighter floor than midweek. Its seven deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. That combination, heavy staffing, low turnover, a clean harm record, is doing the real work here.

This is a small nonprofit home of 50 beds in Clay County, last inspected in March 2026. The numbers describe a stable, well-staffed place, not a perfect one.

Miami Jewish Health Systems runs 393 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 7.13 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 85% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Annual turnover sits at 28.4%, well under the national 45.8%. The tradeoff shows up in inspections, 11 deficiencies on record, one at harm or jeopardy level, and a single $14,800 fine, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Quality measures rate 4 out of 5; health inspections 3. That mix of heavy staffing and a recent serious deficiency is worth asking about directly.

Ft Lauderdale Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 169 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.99 nurse hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. The bigger story is retention: 33.3% turnover against a national 45.8% means fewer unfamiliar faces, though weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below weekday levels. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated March 2026. Quality measures score 5/5 and staffing 4/5, while health inspections land at 3/5, the weakest of the three. Families weighing a tour should ask specifically how weekend staffing is covered.

Jackson Memorial runs on county money, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.66 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 47% above the national average, with a 12.2% turnover rate against a national 45.8%. That kind of retention is rare, and it means your family member sees familiar faces. The tradeoffs are real, though. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below weekday levels, and the current inspection record carries nine deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. The last inspection was August 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality and staffing measures both score at the top; the health inspection side sits in the middle.

Sunrise Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 237 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than most: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 29.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. The tradeoff is inspection history, 29 deficiencies on record, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last survey in August 2024. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is where the record shows the most wear.

River Valley Rehabilitation Center runs 150 certified beds in Blountstown under corporate, for-profit ownership. Its last health inspection, in March 2025, left four deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% lighter than weekdays. What offsets that thinness is retention: annual turnover of 33.6% beats the 45.8% national figure, which suggests care here isn't constantly being delivered by strangers. The inspection record is recent and clean at the serious end, which is the part that matters most.

Tri-County Nursing Home runs 3.84 nurse staffing hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, close enough that it's basically at par, though weekends dip about 8% below what the home staffs during the week. The standout number is turnover: 32.9% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning workers here tend to stay longer than at the typical home. Inspections back that up. Six deficiencies on record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent visit was April 2026. As a nonprofit with 81 beds, it's small and stable on paper, and the staffing consistency and inspection record are what separate it from the pack.

Finnish-American Village runs on a level of nurse staffing that most homes don't come close to, 4.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage holding nearly steady. What stands out just as much is the turnover: 12.2% annually, when the typical nursing home is losing closer to 46% of its staff every year. Eleven deficiencies sit on the current record, but none rose to the level of harm or jeopardy, and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was March 2025, and one fine totaling $9,471 is the only money the home has paid. A nonprofit with 45 beds in Lake Worth, it looks steady across every measure that matters.

Sixty beds in Jacksonville, nonprofit-owned, and zero deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with its last inspection in November 2024.

The number that stands out is turnover: 30.2% versus a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through than at a typical home. Federal ratings put inspections and quality measures at the top of the scale. For a family weighing options, this is about as clean a record as you'll find.

Westminster Point Pleasant runs a nonprofit home of 120 beds in Bradenton, and the numbers suggest steady, unspectacular care. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays.

The inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth reading in full. That last inspection was recent, August 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.
