Okeechobee Health Care Facility runs 210 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers here are genuinely strong: 4.25 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing rating to match. Turnover sits at 23% against a national average near 46%, which matters more than almost anything else for consistent daily care. Weekend staffing dips roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Sundays. Eight deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2024. Quality measures score 5/5; health inspections sit at 3/5, the one area trailing the rest.

Martin Coast Center runs on thin margins where it counts. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home itself manages Monday through Friday, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 44.1% is essentially the national rate, meaning little continuity of caregivers. The record shows 35 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, and the last inspection was April 2026 under for-profit LLC ownership. Quality measures score well, yet a 2/5 inspection rating and those abuse findings are the numbers worth asking about directly.

Sierra Lakes runs 180 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is the real problem here: 28 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That's what drives a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, and it matters more than the quality measure score of 4 out of 5, which comes from resident assessment data rather than a surveyor's eyes. Staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, with weekends about 8% thinner than weekdays. The genuinely good number is turnover at 15.8% against a national 45.8%, stable caregivers, but they're stretched. The last inspection was January 15, 2026, so the record is current.

Miami Springs Nursing And Rehabilitation Center runs 269 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday afternoon. The stronger numbers: staff turnover is 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning less churn than most homes, and inspectors logged 24 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is current. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspection came in at 3.

South Dade Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest asset is stability: staff turnover of 17.1% sits far below the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. That matters more than a single star rating. The tradeoff shows up in hours at the bedside, 3.54 per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage can feel lighter when families visit. Inspections in December 2025 produced a 4-star result, but the record carries 21 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. Quality measures score well; the harm findings are what a family should ask about directly.

Harmony Health Center runs 203 beds in Miami under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating, nine deficiencies on the books with none at the harm level and nothing abuse-related, and a survey completed in August 2025. Quality measures score five stars. The softer spot is staffing: 3.68 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 46.3%, essentially the national rate. Families should ask how weekend coverage is handled and how long the current director of nursing has been in place.

Claridge House runs 3.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. The trade-off shows up in retention: 23.2% turnover is about half the national rate, so the same caregivers tend to stay. What pulls the record down is oversight, 31 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a $24,850 fine, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. For-profit, LLC-owned, 240 beds. Ask about weekend coverage and how those two harm-level issues were resolved.

Emerald Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 240 beds in Hollywood under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is where it separates itself: 29.5% against a national average near 46%, meaning far fewer caregivers cycling through the building than is typical. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record: 32 deficiencies and about $72,000 in fines across 10 penalties, though none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality and staffing each earned 4 of 5 stars from CMS; health inspections earned 2.

Washington Rehabilitation and Nursing Center runs 180 certified beds in Chipley under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average, and weekends dip about 7% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 45.2%, essentially matching the national rate. What stands out is the inspection record: 5 stars, six deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and worth reading closely. A recent June 2025 inspection means the findings are current. Quality measures score 4 stars, staffing 3.

Beachside Center runs 239 beds in New Smyrna Beach under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, four out of five stars, last surveyed in February 2026, with seven deficiencies on file and none reaching harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is there, though, and that's worth asking about directly. The bigger caveat is staffing: 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sits about 12% under the national average, weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover runs slightly above the national rate at 47.5%. Quality measures score well, but those depend on consistent hands-on care. Ask how they cover weekend shifts and what that abuse citation involved.

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.

Apopka Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 8% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover is 48.2%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, with the most recent survey dated January 29, 2026. CMS rates its health inspections 3 out of 5 and its quality measures 4 out of 5, so the clinical picture reads steadier than the staffing and compliance numbers do.

Regents Park At Aventura runs 180 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.50 hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends dip another 9% below the home's own weekday levels. Turnover is the outlier worth noting: 18.7% against a national average of 45.8%, so the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. Where it gets harder to overlook is the inspection record, 27 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, plus a $64,981 fine and a January 2026 inspection. Consistent caregivers matter, but a harm-level finding and an abuse citation are the kind of thing a family should ask about directly.

Lotus Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 beds in Orlando under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last state inspection was in October 2024, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. That record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, which is a serious pattern for a single home. Nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 34.4 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. The inspection and staffing ratings tell the harder story.
