SOUTHERN PINES NURSING CENTER

Staffing at Southern Pines Nursing Center is a bit of a mixed picture. On the registered nurse side, the facility actually comes in slightly above average, with 0.54 RN hours per resident per day compared to the Florida average of 0.52, which means residents here get a comparable amount of time with the most highly trained nurses you'd find at most [Florida nursing homes](/florida/new-port-richey). However, when you look at total nurse hours across all staff, the facility falls noticeably short, offering 3.26 hours per resident per day versus the state average of 3.87. In practical terms, that gap of roughly 37 minutes per resident per day might not sound like much, but across a full shift it can translate to slower response times for call lights, less help with meals or mobility, and thinner coverage overnight. It is worth asking the facility directly how they schedule their staff throughout the day, since those numbers can tell you a lot about what a typical morning or evening actually looks like for your loved one.
