414 of the 656 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Pennsylvania (63%) are for-profit, and all are listed below. They average 3.51 nursing hours per resident per day, 0.38 hours below the 3.89 for every home in Pennsylvania. Nurse staff turnover runs 48.7%, 4.2 points higher than the 44.5% across all homes there. Richfield Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center in Richfield grades highest at A (96 out of 100).
How for-profit homes in Pennsylvania compare
This group set against every nursing home in Pennsylvania, from the current CMS release.
Walnut Creek Nursing and Rehab runs 115 certified beds in Erie under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers land in the middle across the board, 3 out of 5 stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. Nurse staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 6% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when oversight tends to be lightest. Turnover at 43% is slightly better than the national 45.8%. The current record shows 18 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2026.
The Gardens at West Shore is a 309-bed for-profit home in Camp Hill, and the numbers tell a split story. Its inspection record is the real problem: 58 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, which is a lot for one building to carry. Staffing sits at 3.16 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 36.6% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, and the last inspection was recent, in August 2025. Read the inspection history closely before deciding.
Hamilton Arms Center runs 94 certified beds in Lancaster under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.33 hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8 percent below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor than midweek. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning fewer caregivers cycling out than at the typical home.
The inspection record is where I'd slow down. Twenty-two deficiencies are logged, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $9,009. The last inspection was September 26, 2025, so that picture is current, not stale.
Ivy Park Post Acute is a 150-bed for-profit in Pittsburgh, and the numbers split in ways families should look at closely. Nurse staffing sits at 3.29 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, with weekends running about 7% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover at 60.3% against a national 45.8%. The health inspection record shows 95 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $14,069 and a most recent inspection dated June 27, 2025. Its quality measure score is perfect while its inspection and staffing scores sit at the bottom. The gap between that quality number and the staffing reality is the thing to ask about on a tour.
Greenfield runs on 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends dip about 9 percent below what the home staffs Monday through Friday. Annual turnover sits at 50 percent, higher than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing that already-thin care are cycling out regularly. The inspection record is the harder problem: 56 deficiencies, three tied to abuse and two serious enough to put residents in harm's way. Federal inspectors last visited in January 2026 and rated health inspections and quality measures at one star each. A for-profit limited liability company owns the place, and the pattern across staffing, turnover, and enforcement history is consistent rather than isolated.
Pleasant Acres is a 375-bed for-profit home in York, and the numbers that matter most here aren't good. State inspectors cited 41 deficiencies on the current record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, plus three tied to abuse, and the fines total nearly $200,000. Staffing looks decent on paper at 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, but that's about 15% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover sits at 47.2%, slightly worse than the national figure, so the people caring for residents are often new. The quality measure score is middling, but a one-star inspection record is what should weigh on your decision.
Chestnut Hill Lodge runs 181 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average, and weekends drop about 6% below what the home manages on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit and when backup is hardest to find. Staff turnover is 53.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with a CMS health inspection rating of 2 out of 5 and quality measures at 1 out of 5.
Silver Stream runs on 3.36 nurse hours per resident per day, about 13% under the national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 58% against a national 45.8%, so the faces change often, and 50 deficiencies sit on the current record, three tied to abuse, though none cited at the harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection came January 23, 2026. With a limited liability company operating the 120 beds for profit, the staffing and inspection scores both land at 2 out of 5. Worth asking how they hold weekend coverage and what those abuse-related citations actually involved.
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.
Edenbrook Of Yeadon runs 190 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is thinner than it looks at first glance. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.70 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41% is actually a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 55 deficiencies on file, four at harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $34,298, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.
Newport Meadows runs a for-profit operation with 139 beds, and the numbers show a building leaning on a thin nursing floor. At 3.19 nurse hours per resident day, staffing sits about 17% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 5% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover of 40.2% is better than the 45.8% national figure, so retention isn't the problem here, hours are. Inspections from September 2025 turned up 26 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, drawing five fines totaling $42,912. No abuse citations appear on the current record, which matters. Still, a 2-out-of-5 staffing rating paired with that deficiency history is what pushes this one toward the bottom.
Luther Acres Manor runs 106 certified beds in Lititz under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday level. The bigger concern is turnover: 53.8% of staff leave annually, well above the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines and changes. Inspections in November 2024 turned up 9 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 3 were abuse-related, and the quality measure rating sits at 1 out of 5 stars. Families should ask how the home addresses weekend coverage and what those abuse citations involved.
Laurel Center runs 130 beds in Hamburg under corporate ownership, and the staffing picture is the first thing to notice: 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 34.9%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't churn so much as how many hands are on deck at any given time. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, from a September 2024 survey. Quality measures score high; staffing and health inspection results don't.
Glen Brook runs 240 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 52% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents are both fewer than average and changing often. The inspection record is the harder read: 51 deficiencies currently on file, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse, plus a $260,715 fine. The last inspection was February 2026. Quality measures score well, but that number doesn't offset a thin, churning floor staff.
Northern Dauphin runs 194 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.20 hours per resident day, roughly 17% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 50.6%, above the 45.8% national figure, which means a good share of caregivers are still learning the building. The inspection record shows 41 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a $11,921 fine. Last survey was June 12, 2025. Quality measures score well, but that's the piece families should weigh against the staffing and inspection numbers.
Heritage Ridge is a for-profit LLC home with 63 certified beds in Johnstown, and its state inspection record is the part that should worry you most. CMS has tagged the current record with 68 deficiencies, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and eight tied to abuse, a pattern serious enough to pull the health inspection rating down to 1 out of 5 stars. Its last inspection, on January 14, 2026, found the home again without clearing that history. Staffing is the better news: 3.64 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends roughly 2% thinner than weekdays, though turnover at 41.4% does beat the 45.8% national figure. The clinical quality measures sit at 3 stars. Given the inspection record, ask to see the last two years of state survey reports and the abuse-related plans of correction before you decide anything.
Camp Hill Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation runs 123 beds as a for-profit corporate home, and its nurse staffing sits around 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, with weekends about 7% thinner than weekdays. Turnover lands at 41.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is the heavier issue: 39 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and inspection results pull the overall picture down. Worth asking about weekend coverage and how those harm-level findings were resolved before deciding.
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.
Embassy Of Wyoming Valley runs 120 beds in Wilkes Barre under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.50 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average, with weekends running about 7% lighter than its own weekdays. Turnover lands at 42.4%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. What stands out more is the inspection record: 48 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $20,496, with the most recent inspection dated January 30, 2026. The quality measure stars look strong, but that scorecard reflects resident care metrics, not how safely the building is run day to day.
Crestview Center runs 180 beds in Langhorne under for-profit partnership ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.41 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 45.3%, essentially matching the national rate of 45.8%, so that's not the standout concern here. The inspection record is: 38 deficiencies, 5 at harm or jeopardy level, 3 abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well at 4/5, but that sits alongside a much weaker health inspection result.
