The Groves Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes nationally, 3.52 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and it gets even thinner on weekends. That matters when you consider the rest of the record: 58.2% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. Its inspection history is the real concern. Forty-nine deficiencies sit on the current record, eight serious enough to put residents in harm's way, seven tied to abuse. Two fines totaling $291,478 and a place in Medicare's Special Focus Facility program tell you regulators are watching closely. The most recent inspection was February 2026.
Westside Oaks runs 3.27 nursing hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing sits alongside 24 deficiencies on the current record, eight of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, plus a $96,892 fine and placement in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of poor inspections. Staff turnover is 49.1%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. The five-star quality measure rating comes mostly from resident assessment data, not from the inspection record, and the two are telling different stories here.
Dade City Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 120 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers that matter most here are the inspection ones. Fifty-four deficiencies sit on the current record, seven of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two tied to abuse, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. Five fines total $94,152, and the last inspection was April 25, 2024. Nurse staffing comes in at 3.51 hours per resident day, about 9% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 44.3%, is basically average.
Casa Mora runs 240 certified beds in Bradenton under nonprofit ownership, and the first thing you notice in its record is the split between how it's staffed and how it's inspected. Nurse staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, though turnover at 32.1% actually beats the national 45.8%, so aides tend to stay, there just aren't enough of them per resident. The inspection side is where it gets hard: 26 deficiencies on the current record, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus 3 abuse-related findings, a $73,220 fine, and CMS placing it in the Special Focus Facility program. That program is CMS's watchlist for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems, it isn't assigned lightly.
Aviata At The Palms runs on 3.25 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekend coverage slips about 6 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 53.8 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record is where the real concern lies: 38 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a one-star health inspection rating from CMS. Quality measures score well at four stars, but that reflects resident outcomes on paper, not the staffing and safety problems inspectors found. State surveyors last visited in August 2024. This is a for-profit limited liability company, and the pattern here rewards a close look before you decide.
Aviata At North Florida carries 38 deficiencies on its current record, seven of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. That's the number that should stop you. The federal government has placed this Gainesville home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the worst-performing nursing homes, and $241,139 in fines across three actions backs that up. Staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and weekends drop below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 60.5% means most of the people caring for residents this year won't be there next year. One star for health inspections, with the last visit in June 2026.
Aviata At Big Bend runs 120 certified beds in Perry under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide anything. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident per day, under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the hours when families often visit are the thinnest. Annual turnover of 61.2% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for your relative are likely new and still learning the building. Most concerning: 18 deficiencies on the current record, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and $150,655 in fines. CMS has placed this home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
Aventura At The Bay runs 274 certified beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are hard to get around. Nurse staffing sits at 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself manages on weekdays. Staff turnover is 62.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago.
The inspection history is heavier still: 62 deficiencies on the current record, seven at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse. CMS has fined this home three times for $466,424 total and placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, the agency's watchlist for the country's most persistently troubled homes.
Concordia Manor runs 39 beds in Saint Petersburg under for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits barely above the national average, about 1%, with weekends roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. That margin disappears fast when turnover hits 73.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is the real problem: 17 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, one $97,747 fine, and a spot in CMS's Special Focus Facility program. That last designation isn't handed out lightly. The most recent inspection was May 2024, so the picture is current, not stale.
Ansley Cove is a 39-bed for-profit home in Maitland, and the numbers behind its grade are worth walking through slowly. Staffing sits at the lowest federal rating, and turnover runs at 59%, well above the 45.8% national average, which means the people caring for your family member are cycling out faster than they can learn the job. The inspection record is the heavier problem: 37 deficiencies, 7 of them at harm or jeopardy level, 5 tied to abuse, and $197,672 in fines across four citations. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes. Its last inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current, not old.
Aviata At Bryan Dairy runs 158 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 3.37 total nurse staffing hours per resident day falls about 13 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 6 percent below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover sits at 54.5 percent against a national 45.8 percent. The inspection record is where things get serious: 41 deficiencies logged, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with five fines totaling $45,660. CMS rated the last health inspection one out of five stars, though its quality measure score came in at four. Worth asking the administrator directly how they're addressing the harm-level findings and weekend coverage gaps.
Clearwater Center is a 109-bed nonprofit home that federal regulators have placed in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of serious problems. Its current file shows 22 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a $76,496 fine, and its health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Staffing tells its own story: 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 20 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 6 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover at 40.2 percent is actually a little better than the national 45.8 percent, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are on deck each day.
Aviata At Beneva runs about 3.6 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 7% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 9% below its own weekday level. That thinner weekend staffing matters because the home carries 30 deficiencies on its current record, including six at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $110,129 in fines across two events. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, and the health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5 despite a 4 out of 5 on quality measures. Staff turnover runs near 50%, above the national figure, so the people at the bedside keep changing even as the paperwork looks better than the building does.
Lake Mariam runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekends drop about 12% below its own weekday numbers, so the coverage that looks fine on paper thins out when families visit. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 65 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, two involving abuse, and $353,123 in fines across four penalties. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staff turnover sits at 46.7%, slightly above the 45.8% national average. The quality measure score is strong, but that's built from resident assessment data, not from what inspectors found on January 25, 2024.
Lehigh Acres Healthcare & Rehab Center has enough nurses on paper, about 4.08 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but the weekend gap is worth asking about, since staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. The real trouble is the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, six serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $132,889 in fines. CMS has placed this for-profit, LLC-owned home in its Special Focus Facility program, meaning federal regulators flag it for sustained poor performance. A recent inspection in June 2025 won't fix years of problems on its own.
Aviata At Santa Barbara is a 120-bed for-profit home in Cape Coral, and the number that should stop you is this: 27 deficiencies on its current record, six of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse. That's why CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for the homes with the worst inspection histories in the country. The 1-out-of-5 inspection rating reflects that, and the six fines totaling $111,543 tell the same story. Staffing sits at 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 34.8%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, the one genuine bright spot.
Gulf Coast Village runs a nonprofit shop with 85 beds in Cape Coral, and the raw nursing hours look good, 4.93 per resident per day, about 28% above the national average. Weekend staffing dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 53.6%, well past the 45.8% national figure, and that churn shows up in a record with 21 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program and fined it three times, totaling $37,092. Its most recent inspection was 2026-05-07, so the picture is current rather than stale.
The numbers at Gardens Nursing and Rehab Center don't tell one story, they tell two. Staffing looks strong on paper: 3.79 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average, with a 5-star staffing rating and turnover at 26.9% compared to 45.8% nationally. But resident care tells another story. CMS has flagged 61 deficiencies, including five at the harm level and three abuse-related, plus $264,517 in fines. The home sits in the Special Focus Facility program.
That gap between staffing scores and inspection results is the whole picture here. Federal regulators have flagged serious problems but the staffing numbers look stable. If you're considering this home, ask about those abuse-related findings directly.
The inspection record is the place to start here: 23 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to cause actual harm, five tied to abuse. Two fines add up to more than $427,000. This is a nonprofit home, but that hasn't kept it out of trouble, the most recent inspection was in January 2025, so the findings are current, not stale.
Nurse staffing of 3.27 hours per resident day sits about 15% under the national average, and weekends run slightly thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 56% is well above the 45.8% norm, which makes it harder to hold onto consistent caregivers.
For families weighing this one, the harm-level and abuse-related findings matter more than any single rating.
Pinellas Park Fl Opco runs 120 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its inspection record is the first thing that stands out: 25 deficiencies on the current record, five of them serious enough to put residents at risk of harm, plus two tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 1 out of 5, and the last full inspection was December 2023. Staff turnover is the other hard number, 67.9% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the workforce cycles out each year. One fine totaling $19,734 is on record. Quality measures rate better at 3 out of 5, but that's a narrow bright spot against the inspection and staffing picture.
South Heritage runs about 17% below the national average on nurse staffing, 3.19 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 3% beneath its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 52.4%, well above the national 45.8%, meaning nearly half the nursing team turns over in a year. On inspections, the record shows 31 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $145,109 in fines. The most recent inspection was February 2025.
Madison Pointe runs about 3.65 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staff who are there tend to stay. The concerns show up elsewhere: 18 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $33,413 fine. The last inspection was April 2024. Quality measures score well, but the inspection history and thin weekend coverage are the things I'd ask about directly.
Villa Maria Nursing Center runs 212 certified beds in North Miami as a nonprofit, and its 23.6% annual staff turnover is roughly half the national rate, that kind of retention usually means a steadier crew than most homes manage. Nurse staffing sits at 3.77 hours per resident day, about 2% under the national average, and weekends dip another 7% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the trouble spot: 23 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and $161,110 in fines, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Ask about those harm-level findings specifically.
Sunrise Point runs a hundred beds in Rockledge, and the staffing numbers look fine on paper, 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average. But weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 57.3% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that care keep changing.
The inspection record is the real problem: 16 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and $275,722 in fines across three events. The most recent inspection was August 2024, and CMS gave the health inspection side one star out of five.
St. Augustine Health and Rehabilitation Center sits in a for-profit LLC's hands with 120 certified beds, and its numbers pull in different directions. Nurse staffing runs 3.89 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, and the 32.4% turnover is meaningfully better than the 45.8% national figure, but weekends drop about 11% below the home's own weekday levels. The real problem is the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with a one-star health inspection rating and the last review in September 2024. Strong staffing can't offset that kind of survey history, which is what drags the overall picture down to a middling grade.
Vivo Healthcare University runs about 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover is the sharper number: 69.3% of staff leave each year against a national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for your relative are often new to the building. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a 3/5 inspection rating. Ownership is for-profit corporate, and the last inspection was November 2024. Quality measures score 5/5, so the clinical outcomes look strong on paper even though staffing depth and retention lag.
Aviata At The Bay runs 150 certified beds in Tampa under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers tell a familiar story: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running roughly 5% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover sits at 51.1%, above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is where things get serious, 36 deficiencies on file, including 6 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus 11 fines totaling $169,790. Its last health inspection was June 28, 2024, and the 1-star inspection rating reflects that history. Quality measures score well, but a strong quality score doesn't offset harm-level findings and thin coverage.
Woodside is a for-profit LLC home in Naples with 120 beds, and its numbers tell a split story. The health inspection record is the weak spot: 35 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, most recently inspected May 2025. Nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national 3.86 average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 66.7% against a national 45.8%, two of every three staff leaving in a year. Quality measures score well, but that reflects resident outcomes, not the care environment itself. One $56,166 fine is on record.
Naples Health And Rehabilitation Center is a 120-bed for-profit home in Collier County, and the inspection record is where the trouble sits. Forty-five deficiencies on the current record, eight of them at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $172,682 in fines across three events. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Nurse staffing runs 3.65 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 43% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and the quality measure star is 4 of 5, but that inspection history is the part that matters most.
Aviata At Englewood runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday levels. Staff turnover hits 48.8%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because residents see fewer familiar faces.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 13 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. That June 2025 inspection is recent, so the findings reflect current conditions rather than old problems. With 2 out of 5 stars on both health inspections and quality measures, families should ask pointed questions about the abuse-related citations and how the home has responded.
Solaris Healthcare Lely Palms runs a split record. Staffing sits at 4 stars and turnover is 17.3%, remarkably low next to the 45.8% national average, meaning the aides and nurses here tend to stay. But that same staffing number, 3.71 hours per resident day, lands below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so coverage dips when families visit most. The real concern is the inspection history: a 1-star health inspection rating, 17 deficiencies with 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 2 tied to abuse, plus $80,532 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was February 2025. Ask about those abuse deficiencies directly before considering this one.
Darcy Hall of Life Care runs 220 certified beds in West Palm Beach under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 3.93 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with a 5/5 CMS staffing star and 27.2% turnover that's well below the 45.8% national figure. Weekends dip about 10% below weekday coverage, worth asking about. The trouble sits in inspections, where it holds a 1/5 star rating, 28 deficiencies on record, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, plus a $30,924 fine and a January 2025 inspection. Ask to see the plan of correction before you decide.
Manatee Springs runs a for-profit, LLC-owned 120-bed building in Bradenton, and the numbers split sharply depending on where you look. Nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and turnover at 40.6% is better than the 45.8% norm, but weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the care you get can depend on the day. The inspection record is the real concern: 20 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in June 2024. Strong quality scores can't offset that pattern. Worth asking about those findings directly before deciding.
Vista Manor runs 3.14 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 3% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 30.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay tend to stay. What stands out more is the inspection record: 29 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, two abuse-related, and $13,335 in fines, with the most recent look coming April 9, 2026. The 1/5 inspection rating against a 4/5 quality measure rating means the charted care metrics look better than what surveyors have actually found on site. For a 120-bed for-profit run by a limited liability company, that gap is the thing to ask about.
The Springs at Boca Ciega Bay runs on 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in a one-out-of-five staffing rating and a matching one-out-of-five on health inspections, where the current record carries 24 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. The five-star quality measure score reflects how residents are doing on paper, but it doesn't offset what surveyors found when they walked in last February. A for-profit limited liability company operates the 109-bed home. The pattern here is a building that can document outcomes while struggling to staff and pass inspection.
Aviata At West Palm Beach runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.34 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends about 6% leaner than its own weekdays. That gap shows up in the inspection record: 32 deficiencies, two serious enough to put residents in harm's way and one tied to abuse, plus $33,790 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so this is current, not stale history. Staff turnover of 36.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the problem isn't retention so much as how many hands are scheduled. The 5/5 quality measure score stands out against a 1/5 inspection rating, worth asking what's behind that split.
St. Annes runs a stable ship on the staffing side, 3.97 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and a 25.8% turnover rate that's well below the typical 45.8%. Retention like that usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Weekends dip about 8% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then. The tension sits in the inspection record: 18 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and $34,141 in fines across three incidents. The most recent survey closed in April 2025. Strong care metrics and staffing don't erase a rough survey history, ask to see the plan of correction for those two harm-level findings.
Palm Garden of Largo runs 140 beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Pinellas County, and the inspection record is the part that stands out: 30 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $66,613. That's a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed February 2024. Staffing sits at 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, weekends run 9% lighter than weekdays, and turnover hits 54.5% against a 45.8% national figure. The 5/5 quality measure score reflects resident assessments, not the inspection findings, worth keeping in mind when you weigh the two.
Riviera Palms runs on thin nurse staffing, 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends about 10% thinner than its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who stay are likely steady hands. The trouble is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and a $181,100 fine, with the last survey dated June 2025. That one-star health inspection rating is doing most of the work pulling the overall picture down, even though resident quality measures score well. Ask pointed questions about those abuse findings and the weekend coverage plan before deciding.
Bartram Crossing sits in Jacksonville with 100 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. Staffing is where it stands out: 4.43 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, with weekend coverage only about 7% below its own weekday level. Turnover runs 28.4% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses are staying put more than elsewhere. The trouble is inspections. Thirteen deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and the last visit was March 2026. Your family gets consistent daily care here, but the safety record is thin.
Aviata At South Daytona runs 65 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.35 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 51.7% against a national 45.8%, so the same faces aren't always there. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, with 8 fines totaling $25,723. The most recent inspection was August 14, 2025, and CMS scored staffing and health inspections at 2 out of 5 stars each.
Orlando Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 391-bed nonprofit home where the staffing numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 3.37 hours per resident each day, about 13% under the national average, and weekends run slightly leaner than weekdays, but turnover sits at 31.4%, well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the harder problem: 67 deficiencies, including 5 at the harm level and 6 tied to abuse, with a $65,951 fine and a June 2025 inspection. One star for health inspections against four for staffing is an unusual split, and it's worth asking what those abuse citations involved before you decide.
The Commons at Orlando Lutheran Towers runs a nonprofit shop with 168 beds, and the staffing numbers hold up: 4.03 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 41.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters over time more than any single month's numbers. Eleven deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. All three CMS star categories come in at 4 out of 5. The honest read: steady, well-staffed, no red flags, though the weekend drop and the deficiencies are worth asking about on a tour.
Palm Garden of Sun City runs 132 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.73 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average of 3.86, with weekends roughly 10% leaner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 43.3% actually lands slightly below the national rate, so the workforce isn't the main concern here. The inspection record is: 19 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $85,965, with the most recent inspection in September 2024. Quality measures score well, but a single-star health inspection rating and that deficiency history are what a family should weigh when deciding.
Port Orange Nursing and Rehab Center runs 120 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers sit below what you'd want to see. Total nurse coverage is 3.51 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below the home's own weekday levels, that gap matters when families visit and care needs don't pause. Annual turnover of 47.6% edges past the national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses working with your relative are likely to change. The inspection record shows 5 deficiencies, 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, with the most recent inspection on April 1, 2026. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover directly.
Westminster Suncoast runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average at 3.67 nurse hours per resident day, about 5% below, with weekends running roughly 9% lighter than weekdays. Turnover is 35% against a national 45.8%, so the people who stay tend to stay. Inspections are the weak spot: 21 deficiencies on the current record, 3 tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and the last survey was April 2024. That mix, solid quality and staffing stars, thinner inspection record, is what pulls the overall picture down.
Eagleridge runs 120 beds in Fort Myers under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 50.9% runs above the 45.8% national rate, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 30 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, plus $63,886 in fines across two penalties. A recent August 2025 inspection is a plus. The quality measures look strong, but they don't offset what the staffing and inspection data show.
Harbourwood runs about 3.49 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops another 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 71.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with seven fines totaling $65,599. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating tell you where the problems concentrate, even though the quality measure score looks better. It's owned by a for-profit limited liability company, and the last inspection was December 2024.
Trinity Regional Rehab Center runs 120 beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start: 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover sits at 48%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your family member are cycling through faster than average. The inspection record is the harder part, 18 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a one-star health inspection rating and the most recent survey from November 2024. Quality measures score well, but that doesn't offset a thin, churning floor staff.
Scott Lake runs 120 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its inspection record is the part that should worry you most, 28 deficiencies on file, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. CMS fined the place twice, totaling just over $80,000, and the most recent inspection came in April 2026. On the other side of the ledger, the staffing numbers aren't alarming: 3.74 nurse hours per resident day lands about 3% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below weekdays, and turnover at 35.6% actually beats the 45.8% national figure. Resident care measures score well. The problem is that quality metrics and a clean staffing picture don't offset a documented pattern of serious inspection failures.
Alwyn C Cashe State Veterans Nursing Home runs on state government ownership in Orlando, and the staffing numbers stand out first: 5.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 37 percent above the national average. That's real coverage, though weekends dip roughly 13 percent below weekdays, and turnover sits at 72.5 percent against a national 45.8, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record is where things get harder to explain away: 22 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four tied to abuse, and 11 fines totaling $68,731. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current, not stale. Strong hours, unstable workforce, and a serious regulatory record.
Legacy Pointe At Ucf runs 5.17 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage. That staffing comes with heavy churn: 71.3% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people providing most of that care are frequently new. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with $26,685 in fines and a March 2026 inspection date that's still recent enough to be relevant. A nonprofit corporation owns the 48-bed home. Strong quality measure scores don't erase a 2-star inspection rating.
