Golfview Nursing Center runs 56 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers point to a home that's had recurring problems without any single severe incident. State inspectors cited 17 deficiencies on the current record, including two tied to abuse, and fined the place seven times for a total of $70,940. Nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends running about 4% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 37.5%, which actually beats the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 is the real outlier here, staffing and inspection scores both land mid-range, but resident outcomes lag badly.

Aviata At Oldsmar's inspection record is the part to look at first: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, with six fines totaling $36,659. That's a heavy citation load for 120 beds, and CMS rates the health inspection side of this home at 1 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was February 2024, so roughly a year of operating history sits behind those numbers. It's a for-profit, individually owned building in Pinellas County. If you're considering it, ask the administrator directly what changed after that abuse-related finding and how they're tracking it now.

Aviata At Brentwood runs 120 certified beds in Lecanto under individual for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice: 3.27 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 64.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the faces around a resident change often. Its last health inspection was August 15, 2024, and 28 deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, which is a meaningful distinction. The two-out-of-five inspection and staffing stars tell you where the strain is, not the three-out-of-five quality measure rating.

Aviata At San Jose runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 55.8% against a national 45.8%, so nearly six in ten staff left last year. The corporate-owned, 120-bed home has 10 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with its most recent inspection in April 2025. All three CMS star ratings land at 3 out of 5. Nothing here reads as dangerous, but the thin staffing and heavy churn are the numbers worth asking about.

Flagler Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 certified beds in Bunnell under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the number to sit with: 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Annual turnover of 78.6% is well above the national 45.8%, which matters because that many departures usually means caregivers are still learning residents' routines. Fifteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was December 4, 2025. The five-star quality measure score and one-star staffing score tell different stories about the same building.

Arabella Health & Wellness of Pensacola runs 118 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its recent inspection history is mixed: 17 deficiencies on record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. That's worth asking about directly, even though the health inspection star rating still sits at 4 out of 5. Staffing tells a quieter story, 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly another 7% below the home's own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 55.3% runs well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. The last inspection was May 4, 2026.

Baya Pointe runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.35 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Staff turnover sits at 62.2% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents change often. Its inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, four of them at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in August 2025. The quality measure stars look better than the rest of the profile, but quality scores reflect resident outcomes, not the staffing and compliance problems underneath them.

Brookdale Palmer Ranch sits in Sarasota with 60 certified beds, run by a for-profit limited liability company. The staffing number looks fine on paper, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but that average hides a lot. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover runs 67.2% against a national norm of 45.8%, so the people caring for your family member are likely to keep changing. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Nineteen deficiencies are on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $59,696 fine and a two-star health inspection rating. That last inspection was August 2024.

Coral Bay runs 210 beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.78 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when residents need help on a Saturday. Turnover is 46.4%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The real problem shows up in inspections. Thirty-five deficiencies are on the current record, seven of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. One fine totaling $108,665. The last inspection was January 19, 2026. CMS gives it one star for health inspections, even though staffing earned four. That gap between how the place is staffed and what inspectors keep finding is the story here.

Lakes Of Clermont runs an 80-bed for-profit operation, and the staffing picture splits in two directions. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.48 hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 11% below the home's own weekday level, and turnover hits 68.8% against a national 45.8%, that churn matters more than the headline number, since it often means unfamiliar faces on the floor. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $14,335 fine; the most recent survey was February 2026, so the record is current. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection results pull the other way.

Capri Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 129-bed for-profit home in Venice, and the numbers pull in two directions. The quality measures look strong, but staffing sits at 3.53 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, which is when falls and infections tend to happen. Inspections are the bigger concern: 35 deficiencies on the current record, 4 serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, 3 tied to abuse, and an $89,544 fine. A 1-star inspection rating with a September 2024 survey date means state surveyors have documented repeated problems. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide.

Garden View runs 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that number shrinks on weekends, about 15% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 51.9%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, with 30 deficiencies on the current record including two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $60,225 fine. The last inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score well at 4 out of 5, but staffing earns 2 out of 5 and the inspection history is the real story. The corporation that owns it has had repeated problems documented by federal inspectors.

The Bristol Care Center runs 266 beds in Tampa under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers point to a building stretched thinner than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about another 10% below its own weekday levels, right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.6% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure, and consistency of care is hard to build that way. The inspection record carries 47 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus a $130,689 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, but the quality measure score is doing a lot of work holding this picture up.

Vivo Healthcare Lakeland runs 185 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection on June 26, 2025 wasn't clean. The home carries 34 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Fines total $171,903 across 15 penalties. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover is 41.5%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The quality measure rating looks strong, but a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating is the number that matters most when you're weighing safety.

Bear Creek runs 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover is 55.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative are changing often. The inspection record is where the real weight sits: 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $37,198 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was March 2024. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but the health inspection side sits at 2, and those two numbers rarely tell the same story.

Sea Breeze Rehab and Nursing Center runs 110 certified beds in Vero Beach, and the staffing numbers are the story here. At 3.57 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover hits 56.8% against a national 45.8%, which is a lot of churn on top of already thin coverage. The inspection record shows 25 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, so nothing catastrophic, but the last survey was January 2025, so that picture is fairly recent. For-profit corporate ownership, a 1-out-of-5 staffing star, and mediocre marks on inspections and quality measures. Ask about weekend coverage before you decide.

Shores Nursing and Rehab Center carries a record that should give you pause. Over 40 deficiencies are currently on file, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the small share of homes with persistent problems. A single fine of $137,446 backs that up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.34 hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average, and roughly 53% of staff turned over in a year. The one bright spot is a recent inspection in May 2025, though a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating tells you what that visit found.

Riverwood runs lean on the floor. At 3.13 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 13% below its own weekday levels, and 72.4% of staff turned over last year, well above the 45.8% national figure. That churn matters more than any single number here. The inspection record backs it up: 19 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $17,036 fine, with the most recent look coming in August 2025. Resident care measures score well, and a for-profit limited liability company owns the place, so the money and the margins are worth asking about directly.

Jupiter Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing numbers are the main thing to know. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover is the sharper signal: 58.4% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means caregivers cycle through faster than most homes. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on July 10, 2025. Federal ratings split here, quality measures score well, staffing and inspections do not.

Aviata At Orange Park runs on 3.35 nursing hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage slips roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 56.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, which matters because replacements spend their first weeks learning residents they'll soon leave. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: ten deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated November 2025. As a nonprofit, it answers to a board rather than shareholders. If you're weighing this one, ask how weekends are covered and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.
