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.
Bethlehem South runs 227 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing numbers are the clearest thing on the page: 3.30 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. That shortfall shows up in CMS's staffing rating of 1 out of 5, and turnover sits at 52.2% versus 45.8% nationally, roughly half the nursing staff cycling through in a year. The inspection record holds 28 deficiencies, none at harm level but three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $27,378. A September 2025 inspection is recent, so the picture is current rather than stale.
Shenandoah Senior Living runs on 3.13 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 19% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below what the home itself staffs during the week. That thinner coverage matters more given the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, including three at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $76,285. Annual turnover sits at 46.9%, just above the national figure. The most recent inspection was in May 2026. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 119-bed home. Whatever the quality measures suggest, the health inspection history is where the real trouble shows.
Laurel Lakes runs 186 certified beds in Chambersburg under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth knowing. At 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 46.6%, close to the national 45.8%. The inspection record is heavier: 40 deficiencies currently on file, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and a single CMS fine of $211,205. Its last inspection was May 20, 2026. If you're weighing this one, ask specifically about weekend nursing coverage and how the abuse-related findings were resolved.
Birchwood runs 3.34 total nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops another 8% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 53.9%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three abuse-related, with two fines totaling $123,390; the last inspection was March 2026. It's a for-profit LLC with 121 beds, and its quality measure score stands out against a staffing picture that doesn't.
Cedar Haven is a 324-bed for-profit partnership in Lebanon, and the numbers that matter most here are the staffing and inspection records. Nurses provide about 3.05 hours of care per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a fifth less, and the home runs even leaner on weekends than it does during the week. That staffing level earns one star from CMS and sits alongside a one-star health inspection rating, with 24 deficiencies on the current record, including two involving harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. Fines total $65,692 across two penalties, and the most recent inspection was in November 2024. Turnover, at 40.1%, is actually a bit below the national rate, that's the one figure working in its favor.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Latrobe runs 107 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the numbers that stand out most are about people, not beds. Annual staff turnover hits 71.4 percent here against a national average of 45.8 percent, that's a building where most of the caregivers you meet this year likely won't be there next year. Federal inspectors have logged 70 deficiencies on the current record, including four serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and seven tied to abuse. The staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at the lowest mark CMS gives, and the most recent inspection was March 19, 2026. That combination, thin, unstable staffing plus a long paper trail, is what drives the low grade.
Wyndmoor Hills runs on 3.10 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage slips another 5% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing sits alongside a one-star inspection rating and 82 deficiencies on the current record, including four at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Staff turnover is 47.7%, a bit above the national 45.8%, and the home has paid three fines totaling $102,309. The most recent inspection was January 10, 2025. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Quality measures score better than the rest, but they don't offset what the inspection and staffing numbers show.
Letort Spring runs about 13 percent below the national average on nurse staffing, and weekends dip roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday level, so the hours a resident gets vary by the day. The inspection record is the bigger problem: 59 deficiencies, five of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $63,892 in fines across three actions. A recent inspection date doesn't erase that backlog. For-profit LLC ownership, a one-star health inspection rating, and thin weekend coverage together mean you'd want to visit unannounced, on a weekend, and ask directly who's on the floor.
Amoroso Healthcare And Rehabilitation Woodridge is a 95-bed for-profit home in Harrisburg, and the numbers behind its record are worth a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.59 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays. The inspection history is the bigger concern: 30 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a $42,016 fine. Staff turnover (46.3%) is basically at the national rate, so that's not the issue here, and CMS gave it one star for health inspections with a November 2025 inspection date. Ask about the abuse-related findings directly before you visit.
Lakewood Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center runs 110 certified beds in Nanticoke under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.45 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average of 3.86, weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 58.9% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder problem: 100 deficiencies on file, six at harm or jeopardy level, nine abuse-related, and four fines totaling $291,613, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026 giving a 1-star health inspection rating. Quality measures score well at 4 stars, but staffing earns 2, a gap worth asking about directly.
Bryn Mawr Extended Care Center runs 3.10 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 20% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 11% below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 51 deficiencies, four of them at the level where a resident was harmed or put in immediate jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. Annual turnover sits at 37.7%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled. A 160-bed for-profit corporation with a one-star health inspection rating and $35,925 in fines. The most recent inspection was March 12, 2026, so that record is current.
Kinzua Nursing and Rehab runs 106 certified beds in Warren under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a home operating below average on several fronts at once. Nurse staffing sits at 3.72 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 4% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 48.9%, higher than the 45.8% national average, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a single $223,355 fine. The last inspection was December 11, 2025, so the record is recent.
Quality Life Services - Apollo runs 177 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing staff provides 3.25 hours of care per resident each day, roughly 16 percent below the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 9 percent below its own weekday coverage, and annual turnover sits at 61.7 percent against a national rate of 45.8, meaning the aides and nurses at the bedside keep changing. The current inspection record carries 73 deficiencies, three of them at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine of $43,759 and a survey from May 2025.
River's Bend is a 198-bed for-profit home in Harrisburg, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you visit. Nurse staffing sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average, and it drops about 10% further on weekends, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to be there. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 56 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in March 2026. Staff turnover runs 48.1%, above the national rate, which means caregivers are cycling through. One fine of $19,841 is on file. Ask direct questions about weekend staffing and how abuse allegations get handled.
Oak Ridge runs 142 certified beds in Taylor under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.30 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45%, basically level with the national figure, so that's not the differentiator here. The inspection record is: 65 deficiencies, six at harm or jeopardy level, nine abuse-related, and two fines totaling $104,143. CMS scored its last inspection on February 6, 2026, one star, with staffing also one star.
Fairview Manor runs on 3.16 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18 percent below the national average, and weekends drop about 16 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage shows up in the federal ratings, where staffing gets one star out of five. The inspection record carries 21 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated April 10, 2026. Annual turnover sits at 47.5 percent, a bit above the national 45.8 percent. For-profit corporate ownership, 121 beds, and a record that leans on quality measures for its better marks rather than on staffing or inspections.
Meadow View runs 3.14 nursing hours per resident per day, about 19 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 10 percent below its own weekday staffing. That thin coverage sits behind a 2-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and 60 percent annual turnover, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the aide or nurse your family sees most weeks may not be there long. The current record shows 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three abuse-related, with a single $105,587 fine. A September 2025 inspection is recent enough to trust the picture, though a 4-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests some care processes work despite the staffing strain.
Kadima Rehabilitation & Nursing At Irwin runs 120 certified beds in North Huntingdon under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth knowing before you tour. Nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and it thins further on weekends, dropping about 9% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 65.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new and still learning the building. The inspection history is the harder read: a one-star health inspection rating, 62 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, and six tied to abuse. That last inspection was recent, in December 2025.
Edenbrook South runs 116 certified beds in Williamsport under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. At 3.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 9% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover tells a similar story: 61.2% of staff leave each year, against a national rate of 45.8%. Then there's the record itself. Sixty-eight deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $10,824. The most recent inspection was February 11, 2026.
Pottstown Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs about 3.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover sits at 49.6% against a national average of 45.8%, so the people showing up are changing often. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in April 2025. CMS gives it middling marks on health inspections but just one star each for quality measures and staffing. Ownership is a for-profit corporation. The care is licensed and monitored, but thin staffing and heavy turnover are the patterns worth weighing.
