Garden Terrace runs about 5.45 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 41% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits well below the norm, 31.3% against 45.8% nationally. That combination usually points to a home that can hold onto caregivers and keep enough of them on the floor. Weekends thin out somewhat, running about 16% below weekday levels, and the record carries 46 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was June 2025, so the picture is recent. A for-profit limited liability company operates its 70 certified beds.

Berkley Manor runs on a fairly lean nurse staffing line, 3.74 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends get thinner still, dropping roughly 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. What stands out instead is retention: 14.5% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for residents largely stay put. The inspection record is mixed: 29 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm, plus one fine of $17,160, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 118-bed home.

Life Care Center of Altamonte Springs runs 228 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely better than average, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national 3.86, with turnover at 33.6% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay longer here than at most homes. Weekends thin out about 11% from weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is where the concerns sit: 27 deficiencies on the current record, 8 serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, 3 tied to abuse, and one $83,493 fine. The most recent inspection was August 2025, so the findings are recent, and the 1-star health inspection rating reflects that. Strong quality measure scores don't cancel out a citation history like this.

Valley View Villa sits right at the national average for nurse staffing, 3.88 hours per resident day against 3.86, so the five-star staffing rating comes from how those hours are used, not from having more of them. Weekend coverage drops about 11% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. The numbers that stand out are a 29.3% turnover rate, well under the 45.8% national figure, and a clean five-star inspection record going back to December 2024, with five deficiencies total and one at the harm level. For a for-profit corporate home with 120 beds, that's a steady operation.

Life Care Center of Palm Bay runs 141 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come in just under the national average, 3.80 per resident day against 3.86. Weekends thin out further, roughly 10% below the home's own weekday staffing, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. What stands out is retention: 28.2% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer unfamiliar faces than most places. The tradeoff shows in the inspection record, 8 deficiencies, 2 at harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related, with the most recent state visit in January 2025. Strong marks across inspection, quality, and staffing categories round out the picture.

Hale Anuenue runs on a paradox: the numbers that predict daily care are strong, and the ones that predict trouble are not. Staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, a bit under the national 3.86, but turnover is 16.2% against a national 45.8%, a stable crew that knows the residents, even if the shifts are a touch thin and weekends run about 11% lighter than weekdays. The alarm is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, with the last visit in February 2024. Federal quality measures score 5/5, yet inspectors keep finding serious problems.

Hallmark Nursing Center runs 143 beds in Denver under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is recent, February 2024, with 21 deficiencies logged, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy. No abuse citations appear in that record, and a single fine of $6,788 is modest. Nurse staffing sits at 3.71 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage does dip. What stands out is retention: turnover of 27.9% is well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay.

Life Care Center Of Littleton runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover is 48.3%, a few points above the national figure. The inspection record shows 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation; the last inspection was in November 2024, and CMS gives the health inspection side 2 out of 5 stars while quality measures earn 5. The staffing number is real, but so are the citations and the weekend dip.

Life Care Center At Inverrary runs 120 certified beds in Lauderhill under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average of 3.86. Turnover is the standout number here: 26.7% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling out the door than at a typical home, though weekend staffing dips about 11% below weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. Inspectors documented 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent visit in August 2025.

Life Care Center of Estero sits at 155 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its staffing comes in just a hair under the national average, 3.84 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. Weekends run about 10% leaner than weekdays there, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. What stands out more is retention: 20% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Ten deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with two fines totaling $8,034. The last inspection was January 29, 2026.

Life Care Center of Hilo runs 252 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is mixed: 41 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. That's a real flag worth asking about directly. Staffing sits at 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, slightly under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday levels, so care may thin out on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover, though, is 30.3%, well below the national 45.8%, meaning the crew tends to stay. Last full inspection was December 2023, and fines total $13,065.

Life Care Center of Wilbraham runs 123 beds as a for-profit partnership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.83 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends thin out about 10% below weekdays, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect less coverage than midweek. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.9% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a steadier crew than most places. The record shows 33 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in March 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more middling.

Life Care Center of Plymouth runs on a for-profit LLC model with 150 certified beds, and the numbers hold up well. Nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and the 28.2% annual turnover is notably lower than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels. The inspection record is clean where it matters: six deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 2025. Five stars on both health inspections and quality measures, four on staffing. Families looking at Plymouth County should know this home's weak spot is weekend consistency, not safety.

Life Care Center of New Port Richey runs 113 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is solidly above average: 3.98 total nurse hours per resident day against a national figure of 3.86. Turnover sits at 37.4%, well under the 45.8% national rate, which matters for continuity of care. The trade-offs show up elsewhere. Weekend staffing drops roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, and a current record of 24 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, points to paperwork and process problems rather than resident safety failures. The last inspection was March 5, 2025, so the record is recent. Quality measures score 5/5 while health inspections score 3/5, a split worth understanding before you visit.

Life Care Center of Treasure Valley runs 120 certified beds in Boise under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average at 3.90 nurse hours per resident day. That edge is thin, though, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage isn't even across the week. Turnover lands at 39.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests workers tend to stick around longer here than at the typical home. The current record shows 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and none tied to abuse. A June 2025 inspection keeps that record recent.

Valley West runs on numbers that don't agree with each other. Nurse staffing sits at 4.41 hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 10% below its own weekday level, better than many homes manage. Turnover is 34.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. But the inspection record is the problem: 56 deficiencies overall, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. That's a corporate-owned building with a recent inspection and real quality marks on the clinical side, held back by a compliance history families should read closely.

Life Care Center of Ocala runs 120 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, just a hair above the national average of 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care may look different on a Saturday than a Tuesday. Turnover is the real bright spot: 29.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning fewer unfamiliar faces. Inspections back that up, with a 4/5 health inspection rating, no harm-level or abuse-related deficiencies, and a clean survey as recent as January 2026.

San Luis Care Center runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.49 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters if a family member needs help on a Saturday. The tradeoff is stability: turnover sits at 30.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. Twelve deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with an inspection completed in June 2024. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and the numbers land above average across staffing, inspections, and quality measures.

Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover is 35.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether you see the same faces. The tradeoff is the inspection record: 31 deficiencies, 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with $23,590 in fines and a May 2024 inspection. Quality measures score well, but the harm-level findings are the part worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Aurora runs 166 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card: 4.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 8% above the national average. Turnover sits at 27.3%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Inspectors have logged 23 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one fine of $33,222. Weekend staffing drops about 13% below weekday levels, so coverage isn't uniform across the week. A recent inspection and top marks on quality measures round out a home that's generally solid but has real compliance history worth asking about directly.

Life Care Center of Greeley runs a 124-bed for-profit operation with six deficiencies on its current record, and three of those reached the harm or jeopardy level, including one tied to abuse. That's the number a family should sit with, not the star ratings. Staffing sits at 3.82 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 42.7% is slightly better than the national 45.8%, and the most recent inspection was July 2024. One fine totaling $12,285 is on file.

Weekends thin out by about 15% against its own weekday coverage, so that's worth asking about directly. The problem is the inspection record, a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 15 deficiencies with three at the harm or jeopardy level, and a single $167,336 fine, even with quality and staffing both rated 4 out of 5 and the most recent inspection in March 2026.

Bridgeview Estates runs 116 certified beds in Twin Falls under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below the home's own weekday level, so care can thin out right when families visit. Staff turnover is 39.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 31 deficiencies on record, one involving harm or jeopardy, and a 2/5 health inspection rating from the most recent survey in July 2025. Strong quality measures and steady staffing can't fully offset that citation history, ask to see the plan of correction.
