Every CCRC nursing home in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
The Philadelphia Protestant Home runs 4.07 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86, and its weekend staffing holds steady at roughly the same level as weekdays, a gap that trips up plenty of homes. Staff turnover sits at 20.2% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Its last inspection was in May 2026, and the eight deficiencies on record include none tied to harm, jeopardy, or abuse. For a 116-bed nonprofit in Philadelphia, that combination of stable coverage and a clean recent inspection record is doing most of the work here.
Lafayette-Redeemer runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within the year. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in February 2025. That combination of steady staffing, a low-risk deficiency profile, and recent federal review is what puts this nonprofit home among the stronger performers in Philadelphia.
Simpson House, a nonprofit home in Philadelphia, runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below what it manages on weekdays. Its five deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and its last inspection was in April 2026, so the picture is current. The staffing star comes in at 3 of 5 even with the above-average hours, which suggests the mix or consistency of coverage holds it back more than the raw number does.
Paul's Run runs a tight ship on staffing, with 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 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care can feel lighter on Saturdays and Sundays. The standout number is turnover: 29% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stick around, which matters for residents who value familiar faces. Inspections are current (August 2025), the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5, and none of the 15 deficiencies on record rose to harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Nonprofit ownership, 119 beds.
Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, with total nurse staffing at 3.84 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends about 9% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover sits at 42.2%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record shows 28 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,824; the most recent inspection was May 2026. CMS rates the home 3 out of 5 on health inspections but 4 out of 5 on both quality measures and staffing. The inspection history and those abuse-related findings are what pull against the otherwise solid marks.
Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.72 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and needs pile up. Staff turnover of 41.2% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the weak spot here. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 36 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $14,015. The last inspection was September 2025. Federal quality measures score 2 out of 5, so clinical outcomes lag behind the staffing picture.
Deer Meadows runs about 206 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 9 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, which is a lot to carry for a home inspected as recently as October 2025. Turnover at 42.1 percent is slightly better than the national 45.8 percent, and quality measures rate 3 out of 5, modest strengths against a staffing and inspection picture that needs watching.
Oakwood Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center runs 148 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.04 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That edge narrows on weekends, when staffing drops about 9% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover runs 50% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change often. The current inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $5,269. Its last inspection was May 2026, so the picture is recent rather than stale, and the health inspection rating came in at 4 of 5 stars.
Caring Heart runs 269 certified beds in Philadelphia under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is 44.3%, close to the national 45.8%, so that's not the standout problem here.
The inspection record is. Fifty-six deficiencies are on file, one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $24,675. The last inspection was June 12, 2025. Residents' quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspections both come in at 2 out of 5 stars, the gap between how the place measures and how it's actually run is worth asking about directly.
Cathedral Village runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday coverage. That's a real gap if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 54.1% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for your relative are likelier than average to be new or on their way out. The record also shows 17 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with two fines totaling $208,039. Inspections were recent and the care measures look decent, but the enforcement history is the part worth asking about directly.
Logan Square Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about another 10% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 43.2%, a hair better than the 45.8% national figure, which is the one staffing-related number here that isn't working against it. Twenty-eight deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with a single $43,154 fine and a January 2026 inspection. The quality measure score looks strong, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available to deliver it.
Monumentalpostacutecare at Woodside Park is a 180-bed for-profit partnership in Philadelphia, and its inspection record is the first thing a family should see. Fifty deficiencies on the current record, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, is a lot of documented trouble for one building. Staffing sits at the lowest federal tier while quality measures land mid-range, and two fines totaling $30,752 are on file. The last inspection was December 11, 2025, so the record is recent, not stale. If you're considering this home, ask directly about the abuse-related findings and how the current administrator has addressed them.
Willow Terrace runs 174 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.55 hours per resident day, roughly 8 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 10 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 47.6 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, meaning nearly half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record carries 61 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with one fine of $9,113. A January 2025 inspection is recent, but the 1-star health inspection rating against a 4-star quality measure score suggests the care problems are real and documented, not just paperwork.
