All 4 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Media,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Willowbrooke Court-Granite is a ten-bed nonprofit home in Media, and the numbers back up its reputation. Nurse staffing runs 5.00 hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average of 3.86, which matters most in a small building where aides and nurses know every resident by name. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, no abuse citations, and its last inspection was April 2026, recent enough to trust. Five stars on health inspections and staffing, four on quality measures. Small, well-staffed, clean record.
Monticello House has the bones of a strong nursing home: a five-star inspection record, five stars on quality measures, and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level, with a clean record on abuse. Its 4.45 nurse hours per resident day sit about 15% above the national average. The problem is stability. Annual staff turnover runs 92.7%, roughly double the national figure, and weekend staffing drops about 11% below the home's own weekday level, so the coverage families tour on a Tuesday isn't quite what a Saturday looks like. A nonprofit owner and a recent inspection help. Whether aides stay long enough to know your mother is the open question.
Wesley Enhanced Living Main Line sits in Media with 60 certified beds and a nonprofit owner. The staffing numbers are the real story here: 4.23 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, and turnover at 19.4% is unusually low against a national rate of 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 5% from weekday levels, which is a gap worth asking about directly.
What holds the record back is the inspection side. Four deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a single fine totaling $151,457. The last inspection was March 2026. Strong, stable staffing paired with a costly serious deficiency and middling inspection and quality ratings, that mix is what the grade reflects.
Sterling Health Care and Rehab Center runs 164 beds in Media under corporate ownership, and the numbers show strain across the board. Nurse staffing sits at 3.51 hours per resident per day, roughly 9% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.3% tops the national rate, and a 2/5 inspection rating comes alongside 34 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus $25,625 in fines. The most recent inspection was in October 2024.
