Masonic Village at Elizabethtown runs 434 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.59 hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and annual turnover of 27.5% is well below the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know the residents. Weekend staffing does dip about 15% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is recent, January 2026, with a 5/5 health inspection rating and only 5 deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level. Two are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly.

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.

Saint Paul Homes is run by a nonprofit and holds 192 beds in Greenville. The numbers behind its record are strong: nurse staffing sits at 4.57 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and only 2 deficiencies show on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level. One is abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Annual staff turnover is 25% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekend staffing dips about 11% below its own weekday level, a normal pattern but one to check if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. The last inspection was August 2025, and all three CMS star ratings land at 5 out of 5.

Chandler Hall runs on a nonprofit model with 53 certified beds in Newtown, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.47 hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 5% below its own weekday level, so care doesn't thin out much when families tend to visit. Annual turnover lands at 24.5%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistency is what residents actually feel. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale.

Bethany Village Retirement Center runs on 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, about 14 percent above the national average, and its weekend staffing only dips about 6 percent below weekdays, a fairly small drop compared with what many homes show. Staff turnover is 27.1 percent against a national average of 45.8 percent, which matters for whether your family sees the same faces month to month. The current record holds 12 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, and the last inspection was in December 2025. This is a nonprofit operation, and the quality measure rating comes in at 5 out of 5.

Messiah Village in Mechanicsburg runs a church-affiliated nonprofit home with 118 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the standout: 5.25 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 36% above the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, and staff turnover sits at 39.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though still meaning more than a third of the workforce turning over annually. Five deficiencies show on the current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $8,018 and an inspection completed in August 2025.

Pennswood Village sits in Newtown, and its nurse staffing runs about 48% above the national average, 5.73 hours per resident day against 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip roughly 8% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover of 27.3% is well below the national 45.8%, which matters for consistency of care. The inspection record is where the caution lies: five deficiencies currently on file, two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $32,349. A December 2025 inspection is recent enough that the picture is current. Strong staffing numbers, but the harm-level findings are the part a family should ask about directly.

Trillium Place runs 160 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 32.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. One deficiency on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the last inspection in late November 2024.

Landis Homes sits on 103 certified beds in Lititz, run by a nonprofit corporation. Nurse staffing averages 5.43 hours per resident day, roughly 41% above the national figure of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 30.6%, noticeably under the 45.8% national average, which matters because stable caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The tradeoff is in the inspection record: just one deficiency on file, but it's flagged at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. That single serious citation is worth asking about directly, even though the quality and staffing ratings both sit high.

Fairmount Homes runs about 4.39 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% above the national average, and its 25% turnover is well under the 45.8% typical elsewhere, both point to a staff that mostly stays put. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, no abuse findings, and the most recent survey was July 2025. As a nonprofit with 114 beds, it isn't chasing quarterly returns, and the numbers here reflect that steadiness.

Homewood Living Plum Creek runs on nurse staffing of 4.14 hours per resident day, roughly 7 percent above the national average, and its weekend coverage only dips about 10 percent below weekday levels, a smaller drop than many homes show. Staff turnover sits at 26.5 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which matters for whether caregivers actually know the residents. The tradeoff is a current record of 10 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $7,443. Its last inspection was in December 2025, so the picture is recent.

Kirkland Village runs 4.71 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 22% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 31.9% against a national 45.8%, both numbers point to a home that keeps its people and staffs them well. Weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekday levels, and the current inspection record shows nine deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, plus a single $21,645 fine. The last inspection was August 2025. Nonprofit ownership and a recent survey are worth noting, but that one harm-level finding is the piece of the record that deserves your attention before you decide.

Garden Spot Village runs nurse staffing at 5.00 hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.2% sits well below the national 45.8%, people tend to stay. Weekends dip about 14% below weekday coverage, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. The trade-off is in the inspection record: four deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $8,018. The most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong staffing and better-than-average retention are real, but four deficiencies with two at the harm level means the care isn't flawless.

Nurse staffing at The Village at Penn State runs 5.23 hours per resident day, roughly a third above the national average, and weekends barely dip from weekday levels, which matters because short-staffed weekends are where a lot of problems show up. Turnover sits at 27.9% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record holds 13 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in May 2026. Its three stars on health inspections and quality measures are middling; staffing is where it stands out.

Staff turnover sits at 32.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none involving harm or jeopardy and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. The weaker spot is the three-out-of-five quality measure rating, so ask what those specific measures cover. As a nonprofit with 96 certified beds, it isn't chasing quarterly returns.

William Hood Dunwoody Care Center runs on about 5.98 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 55% above the national average, and its five deficiencies sit entirely below the harm level, with no abuse citations on record. That staffing cushion holds up better than most places on weekends, dropping only about 10% from its own weekday level, and its 38.3% turnover is lower than the 45.8% national figure. The health inspection rating is perfect, the quality measures land at four of five stars, and the last inspection was recent enough to reflect current conditions. Nonprofit ownership and 81 beds round out a picture of a home that is well-staffed and consistently clean on paper.

Dock Terrace runs on 4.59 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 26.7% against a national 45.8%. That combination matters more than any single number: enough hands on site, and the same hands staying long enough to know the residents. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about directly. The current record shows zero deficiencies, including none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2025. The nonprofit ownership and the 5/5 inspection and staffing ratings line up with what the numbers already suggest.

Tel Hai in Honey Brook runs a nonprofit shop with 119 certified beds, and the numbers back up the reputation. Nurse staffing sits at 5.41 hours per resident day, roughly 40 percent above the national average, and only about a quarter of the staff turns over each year, compared with nearly 46 percent nationally. The trade-off is a slight weekend dip: staffing drops about 9 percent from weekday levels. The current inspection record is clean, with zero deficiencies of any kind and no abuse findings, and the most recent state visit came in November 2025. Quality measures land mid-pack.

Masonic Village at Sewickley runs on a nonprofit model with 128 certified beds, and its staffing story is mixed. Total nurse hours land at 3.84 per resident day, just under the national mark, and weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, a gap families should ask about directly. Where it stands out is retention: 29.9% turnover against a national average near 46% means caregivers tend to stay. The inspection record carries 26 deficiencies, including one at harm level and four tied to abuse, and the last survey was mid-2025. Quality and staffing marks from CMS are strong; the inspection history is the piece to weigh carefully.

Concordia At Spiritrust Gettysburg runs about 4.11 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 6% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 35.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers are walking out the door here than at the typical home. Weekend staffing dips about 9% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. The 17 deficiencies on record include nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. For a 60-bed nonprofit, the numbers describe steady, well-staffed care rather than anything flashy.
