How CCRC homes in Pennsylvania compare
This group set against every nursing home in Pennsylvania, from the current CMS release.
Transitions Healthcare Shook Home runs a 65-bed for-profit operation in Chambersburg, and the staffing picture is genuinely its strong point: 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 12% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 33.9%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The trouble shows up everywhere else. Two out of five stars on health inspections and on quality measures, 30 deficiencies on the current record including three at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a $205,694 fine. The last inspection was March 2026. Good hands on deck, but a documented pattern of serious problems that staffing alone doesn't offset.
Hermitage Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 2.96 nursing hours per resident per day, about 23% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips another 6% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage is the main thing driving the staff rating down, and it shows in the turnover number: 49.4% of staff left over the year, compared with 45.8% nationally. The inspection record is a different story. Seventeen deficiencies on file, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in December 2025. So you're looking at a for-profit home that passes its inspections cleanly while running lean on the floor.
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.
William Penn Care Center runs 145 beds in Jeannette under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, about 2% below, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 53.3% annually against a 45.8% national mark, which matters because caregivers who stay know the residents. Its inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with a $14,074 fine on file and a May 2026 inspection. Families weighing this home should ask directly how weekend coverage is handled and what's changed since that abuse-related finding.
Quality Life Services - Chicora runs 114 beds in Butler County under for-profit LLC ownership, and its record shows a persistent split between how it reports care and how it delivers it. The quality measure rating sits at 4 out of 5, yet the health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, with 67 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and eleven tied to abuse. Nurse staffing averages 3.61 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national figure, and weekends drop roughly 6% below the home's own weekday levels, meaning coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover of 46.3% slightly exceeds the national rate, and one fine has totaled $91,936.
Quality Life Services - Sugar Creek runs 114 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers to focus on are the inspection record and the direct-care hours. Nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 11% below, and weekends drop about 8% under the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 44 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $246,480 and a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating. Staff turnover, at 43.6%, actually lands slightly under the national 45.8%.
Quality Life Services - Grove City runs 109 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing. At 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage. Annual turnover of 58.3% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a single fine of $12,649. Its last inspection was November 2025, so the record is recent.
Springfield Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 100 beds as a for-profit limited liability company, and the numbers suggest a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 10% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the coverage gap lands exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 49%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning nearly half the people caring for residents leave within a year. The inspection record carries 52 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $20,010 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was April 2, 2026.
Paramount Nursing and Rehab runs 92 beds in Fayetteville under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the main thing to know: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. The last state visit was June 2025, so the findings are recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover, at 40.7%, is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Two fines totaling $17,345 round out the record.
The Holland Center runs 66 beds in Bucks County under corporate ownership, and the headline number is staffing: 4.01 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average. That's real, but it comes with churn, 71.7% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. Weekends run about 7% leaner than weekdays. On inspections, the record shows 45 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a $36,186 fine and a 2-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but the survey history is the part I'd ask about directly on a tour.
Westgate Hills runs lean on nursing hours, 3.32 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday pace. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, and the inspection record backs it up: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $52,764.
The counterweight is that staff tend to stay, 36.4% turnover beats the national 45.8%, and the quality measure score is strong at 4 out of 5. A recent January 2026 inspection means the record is current, not stale. For-profit, LLC-owned, 110 beds. Ask about weekend coverage specifically when you visit.
Manatawny Center runs 133 certified beds in Pottstown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurses provide 3.38 hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip about 9% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 61.5% sits well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the aides and nurses caring for residents are cycling through quickly. The health inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $25,140 fine. Quality measures score better than staffing does, which suggests the care model works when people are there to deliver it.
Greenwood Center runs about 3.23 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 16 percent under the national average, and weekends dip another 7 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 64.9 percent against a national 45.8 percent, so the people caring for residents are changing constantly.
The inspection record backs that up: 53 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. CMS gives the home 2 out of 5 stars for both staffing and health inspections, though its quality measure score is a 3. The last inspection was in January 2026, so the record is recent. A for-profit limited liability company operates its 150 certified beds.
Passavant Retirement and Health in Zelienople runs on strong staffing numbers: 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and turnover of 36.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Then there's the inspection record, and it's the reason the grade lands where it does: 38 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 27, 2026. A church-affiliated nonprofit with 102 beds, this home staffs well and scores well on quality measures, but its last survey turned up serious problems. Read that inspection report before you decide.
Vincentian Home runs on a solid staffing base: 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits at 40.2%, better than average, but still a lot of caregivers cycling through. The bigger issue is the record itself: 33 deficiencies, including 6 tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. None were flagged at harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the findings are current. Nonprofit ownership and steady nurse hours help; the inspection history is what pulls this one down.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Greenville runs 154 certified beds under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.17 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 18% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 53.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people around your relative change often.
The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $21,645 fine. A June 2025 inspection is recent, which is the one favorable detail. The 1-out-of-5 staffing rating and 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating tell you where the trouble concentrates, even though the quality measure score of 3 suggests some care processes track adequately on paper.
If you're considering this home, ask directly about weekday versus weekend coverage and how they're addressing turnover.
St. John Specialty Care Center in Mars runs high on nurse staffing, 3.96 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and that earned it a four-star staffing rating. But the inspection record tells a different story: 54 deficiencies on file, including 12 tied to abuse and two at the harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in October 2024. Staff turnover sits at 52.3%, well above the national 45.8%, and weekend coverage drops about 8% below weekday levels. A nonprofit corporation operates its 150 beds. Strong numbers on paper and repeated problems on inspection rarely point the same direction; here, the inspection history is what a family should weigh.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At New Wilmington runs 115 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with nine deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level. One abuse-related citation is there, though, and worth asking about directly. Staffing is where it slips: 3.42 nurse hours per resident day sits about 11% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover hits 52.3% against 45.8% nationally. With quality measures at 2 out of 5, the pattern is a home that inspects cleanly but may struggle to keep consistent hands on deck.
Ellen Memorial runs about 3.57 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop another 9% below its own weekday staffing. That thinner weekend coverage matters because 55.4% of staff turned over in a year, against a 45.8% national rate, so the aides and nurses on Saturday are more likely to be new. The inspection record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, and CMS rated health inspections 2 out of 5 stars. Quality measures scored 4 out of 5, but the staffing and inspection scores are where families should focus.
