How for-profit homes in Pennsylvania compare
This group set against every nursing home in Pennsylvania, from the current CMS release.
The numbers at Mountain City start with the nursing hours: 3.35 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a tenth thinner than weekdays, so coverage is weakest exactly when families tend to visit. Fifty-one deficiencies sit on the current record, five of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, six tied to abuse, plus a $171,403 fine. Turnover at 36.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which tells you the problem here isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets. State inspectors were last in on February 7, 2025.
Gettysburg Center runs on thinner staffing than most homes its size, and that gap shows up on weekends when coverage drops another 8 percent below its own weekday level. The 34 deficiencies on record, four of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, three tied to abuse, point to problems that go beyond paperwork. Annual turnover sits at 52.7 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, which makes consistent care hard to sustain. A for-profit corporation operates the 118-bed building, and its most recent inspection was in March 2026.
Carnegie Park Post Acute runs 180 beds in Pittsburgh under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where the trouble starts: 3.31 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 10 percent thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover hits 65.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. The inspection record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two abuse-related, and the last inspection was in March 2026. A single $10,419 fine and a 1-out-of-5 staffing rating round out the picture.
Crawford Care Center runs 157 certified beds in Saegertown under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.43 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 63% against a national 45.8% means most of the people caring for your relative are new to the building. The inspection record backs that up: 51 deficiencies currently on file, two at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and a $151,253 fine. Its last inspection was April 30, 2026.
Clepper Manor runs 54 beds in Sharon under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers sit a bit under where they need to be. Nurse coverage comes to 3.72 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands exactly when families tend to visit and when problems surface. Annual turnover of 59.6% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the staff turns over yearly. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $169,599. The April 2025 inspection is recent, and the three-out-of-five marks across inspection, quality, and staffing confirm a home that's adequate on paper but carrying real risk underneath.
Abbeyville runs about 3.37 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends dip another 8% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 55.1% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, still learning the building. The current record carries 34 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached the harm or jeopardy level CMS tracks most closely. A for-profit limited liability company owns the 172 beds, and the most recent inspection was April 2026. Three stars for health inspections, two for quality measures, two for staffing.
Harborview Rehabilitation Care Center in Doylestown runs on thinner staffing than most homes: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday levels, exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 49%. The bigger concern is the inspection record, 50 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and $68,903 in fines across three penalties. Federal inspectors last visited in September 2024 and rated health inspections and quality measures 1 out of 5. Corporate ownership, 120 beds. The staffing number is the closest thing to good news here; it's the harm-level findings that should shape your questions.
Nurse staffing at this Phoenixville home runs about 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average, and weekends dip even lower than weekdays. Annual turnover is 69.5%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative will be gone within a year, against a national rate near 46%. The inspection record shows 32 deficiencies, including two at the level that put residents in actual harm or jeopardy and three tied to abuse. A single fine of $94,695 is on file from an inspection completed in August 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, and while its quality measure star sits at 5, that score describes charted care, not whether enough hands are present to deliver it.
If you're weighing Hopkins Center for someone in your family, the staffing numbers are the first thing to look at. Nurses provide 3.42 hours of care per resident per day, about 11 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8 percent thinner than weekdays, so the coverage gaps land when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 50 percent, above the national 45.8 percent, meaning many of the people involved in daily care are still learning the building. On inspections, the record shows 49 deficiencies, including 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $155,155. That history, reviewed again in August 2025, is worth asking about directly.
Edenbrook On Second Ave runs 160 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is thin: 3.62 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 9% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 65.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents change often. The current record shows 43 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related citations, and the last inspection was in May 2026. CMS rates staffing and quality measures at 2 stars each and inspection results at 2, all below the midpoint. Families weighing this home should ask directly about weekend coverage and how the abuse citations were resolved.
Bethlehem North runs on 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are staffed roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. That thin coverage shows up in the federal staffing rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. Turnover runs 55.9% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through steadily, and 28 deficiencies sit on the current record, including two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was February 2026. It's a 217-bed for-profit corporate home; with 2s for both inspections and quality measures, the numbers don't point to a place running on much margin.
Forest City Nursing and Rehab Center is a 132-bed for-profit home in Susquehanna County, and the numbers point to staffing strain. At 3.21 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, meaning the thinnest coverage comes when families tend to visit. That staffing shortfall shows up in the inspection record too: 19 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $21,405 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2025, so the picture is current. There's no abuse finding on file, which matters. But with both staffing and quality measures at the bottom of CMS's scale, this is a home worth asking hard questions about before committing.
Harborview runs about 14 percent thinner on nurse staffing than the national average, and weekends dip roughly 7 percent below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Turnover sits at 51.7 percent against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The current inspection record carries 62 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, and the two fines on file total $191,228. The last inspection was in August 2025, so that record is recent. A for-profit LLC operates the 126-bed building.
The Gardens at Orangeville runs on 3.06 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 45.7%, almost exactly the national figure, so this isn't a retention crisis so much as a steady churn. State inspectors logged 42 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was September 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 119 beds, and the federal stars split the difference: three for health inspections, two each for quality measures and staffing.
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.
Laurel Ridge Center runs 61 beds in Uniontown under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.29 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 55.2% tops the national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The current record shows 13 deficiencies, including one at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. CMS rated quality measures 1 out of 5 and staffing 2 out of 5, with a June 2025 inspection.
St. Francis Center runs 273 beds in Darby, and the numbers tell two different stories. Inspectors have been through recently, July 2025, and found 23 deficiencies, none of them serious enough to harm a resident and none related to abuse, which is why the health inspection rating sits at 4 out of 5. Staffing is the weak point. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, this home runs about 12 percent below the national average, and weekends drop another 8 percent below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover of 58.4 percent is well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing that care are cycling through quickly.
Inners Creek runs 202 certified beds in Dallastown under corporate ownership, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide anything. Nurse staffing sits at 3.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 7 percent below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover is 54 percent a year against a national 45.8 percent, meaning more than half the caregivers are new to their jobs within twelve months. On the inspection side, the current record shows 62 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 4 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $47,031. The most recent inspection was October 25, 2024.
Woodhaven runs lean on nursing hours, 3.20 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it thins out further on weekends, dropping about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That shortfall shows up in retention too: 55.6% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means new faces are constantly learning the building. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Fifty deficiencies are open right now, one of them serious enough to involve actual harm and another tied to abuse, plus a $37,480 fine. For a family weighing this place, those are the numbers worth pressing the administrator on directly.
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.
