How for-profit homes in Philadelphia, PA compare
This group set against every nursing home in Philadelphia, PA, from the current CMS release.
Maplewood runs 180 beds in Philadelphia under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.11 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 54.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing care keep changing while the hours per resident stay thin. The record shows 45 deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus $76,483 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was August 28, 2025, so the picture is current rather than stale. Quality measures score well, but that's a narrow slice of what families actually live with day to day.
The numbers for Immaculatemarycenter in Philadelphia tell a split story. Quality measures look good at 4 out of 5 stars, but staffing sits at 1 star, 3.40 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 9% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 58% a year, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the harder part: 45 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with a 1-star health inspection rating and the most recent survey dated March 2026. For a 296-bed for-profit home, that combination, thin coverage, high turnover, and serious citations, is what a family should weigh before touring.
West Park runs 4.15 nurse hours per resident day, which is genuinely above the national average. But that average hides a lot: weekend coverage drops about 13% below its own weekday level, and nearly 70% of staff turned over in the past year against a national rate under 46%. High turnover plus thin weekends is how a place with decent raw hours ends up with a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating. The inspection record is heavier still, 34 deficiencies, three serious enough to risk harm, one tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was in December 2025, so this isn't old history. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company.
Pennypack Rehab and Care Center is a 54-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and its inspection record is genuinely good, a 4/5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in May 2026, with 27 deficiencies on file but none at the harm or jeopardy level. The staffing picture is where it gets thin. At 3.15 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 18% below the national average, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 68.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which is a lot of churn for a building this size. Three abuse-related deficiencies also appear on the current record.
Chapel Manor runs 238 certified beds in Philadelphia under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8 percent below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is where the real concern lives: 69 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three tied to abuse. Staff turnover at 43.4 percent is slightly better than the national figure, and one $17,192 fine is on file, with the most recent inspection done in December 2025.
Graduate Post Acute runs 150 beds in Philadelphia under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits around 3.49 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent below the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9 percent below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the real story: 84 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with $17,940 in fines across two penalties. Staff turnover of 41.8 percent is slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the most recent inspection was December 2025. CMS rates the quality measures 5 out of 5 but health inspections just 1 out of 5, a split worth asking about directly.
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.
Fairview Rehab and Care Center is a 176-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and the staffing numbers are the first thing you'd notice. At 2.86 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 26% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 55.7% against a national figure of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are often new.
The inspection record backs that up: a 1-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 84 deficiencies on file, including five tied to abuse and one at the harm level. A single fine of $37,431 is on record, and the most recent inspection was January 9, 2026. Its quality measure score is strong, but that measures resident outcomes on paper, not the hands available to deliver care.
Aristacare At East Falls runs 5.50 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, but the weekend gap and a 58.6% turnover rate suggest those hours aren't reliably staffed by the same people. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 79 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $57,568. A 1/5 inspection rating and a 1/5 staffing rating, despite the raw hours, point to real gaps between what's scheduled and what families actually experience.
Care Pavilion is a 396-bed for-profit home in Philadelphia, and the numbers that stand out most aren't about its size. State inspectors have cited 96 deficiencies on the current record, including five at the harm or jeopardy level and nine tied to abuse, a volume that suggests problems aren't isolated incidents. Federal fines total $185,704 across three actions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. One relative bright spot: staff turnover is 32.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was December 22, 2025, so that record is recent.
