Lecom At Snyder Memorial runs 100 certified beds in Marienville under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.76 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86. The bigger issue is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 13 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. Its inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a single fine of $25,853; the last inspection was May 2026. The two-out-of-five inspection and staffing ratings line up with those numbers, while the quality measure rating sits higher at three. Ask about weekend coverage specifically before deciding.
Grove Manor runs 59 certified beds in Grove City under church-related nonprofit ownership, and its last inspection was in September 2025. The health inspection rating of 4 out of 5 is the bright spot. But the staffing rating sits at 1 out of 5, and staff turnover at 46.2% is essentially the national rate of 45.8%, meaning this home isn't holding onto caregivers any better than average. The quality measure rating is also 1 out of 5. Seventeen deficiencies are on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse. A single fine of $18,837 has been levied.
Schuylkill Center runs 190 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.14 hours per resident day, roughly 19% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins just when families tend to visit. The current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related; the last inspection was May 20, 2026. Annual turnover of 39.2% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. CMS rates health inspections and staffing 2 out of 5, quality measures 3 out of 5, a home where thin staffing, not resident outcomes, is the main concern.
William Penn Care Center runs 145 beds in Jeannette under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.80 nurse hours per resident day, about 2% below, with weekends dipping roughly 7% below its own weekday levels. The bigger concern is turnover: 53.3% annually against a 45.8% national mark, which matters because caregivers who stay know the residents. Its inspection record shows 42 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with a $14,074 fine on file and a May 2026 inspection. Families weighing this home should ask directly how weekend coverage is handled and what's changed since that abuse-related finding.
Sayre Health Care Center runs on 3.21 nurse hours per resident per day, about 17 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing dips roughly 2 percent below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 54.2 percent against a national 45.8, so nearly six in ten staff left over the year, which matters more when there are fewer of them to begin with.
The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, and the most recent survey was April 3, 2026. All three CMS ratings, health inspections, quality measures, staffing, come in at 2 out of 5. For-profit corporate ownership ties it together.
Paramount Nursing and Rehab runs 92 beds in Fayetteville under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the main thing to know: 26 deficiencies on file, two of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. The last state visit was June 2025, so the findings are recent. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends drop about 9% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover, at 40.7%, is actually a little better than the 45.8% national figure. Two fines totaling $17,345 round out the record.
Rose View runs a 123-bed for-profit home in Williamsport, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Its quality measure score is perfect, but staffing sits at 3.22 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, and weekends drop another 14 percent below its own weekday levels, which matters when falls and infections don't check the calendar. Annual turnover of 57.3 percent runs well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people caring for residents are often new. Inspections in December 2024 turned up 33 deficiencies, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. Solid clinical measures, thin coverage, steady churn.
Orchard Manor runs 121 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and the staffing numbers are where your attention should go first. Nurses give 3.66 hours per resident per day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 55.3% against a 45.8% national rate, which means a good share of the people caring for your relative are new. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $21,463 in fines. The last inspection was September 2025.
Fox Subacute At Mechanicsburg runs 56 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing averages 5.54 hours per resident day, roughly 43% above the national figure of 3.86. That sounds generous until you notice weekends run about 10% lighter than weekdays, and turnover sits at 54.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 37 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $14,886 in fines. A January 2026 inspection is recent. High daily staffing and heavy turnover can coexist, and here the quality measure score outpaces what the staffing consistency and deficiency history suggest.
York Nursing and Rehabilitation Center runs 240 beds in Philadelphia, and the numbers behind its record are worth sitting with. On a 1-to-5 federal scale, inspectors rate its health inspections and its staffing both at 1, while the quality measures, largely self-reported, come in at 4. The home carries 57 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. Staff turnover sits at 54.9%, nearly ten points above the national average. Three fines total $63,872, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. This is a large, for-profit operation where the inspection and staffing record is the part you should weigh most heavily.
Perry Health & Rehab Center is a 182-bed for-profit home in Wexford, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 6% below the national average, and weekends dip roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 58.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is heavier still: 116 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 14 tied to abuse. Last inspected in December 2025, with $18,223 in fines.
Delaware Valley Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation C runs 70 certified beds in Matamoras under corporate for-profit ownership, and its state inspection history is mixed. The home carries 22 deficiencies, two of them tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. Federal ratings put staffing and quality measures at one star each, while health inspections sit at three. Annual staff turnover of 37.7% actually beats the national average of 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. With the most recent inspection dated March 2026, the record is current. What stands out is the gap between decent inspection performance and weak staffing and quality scores, worth asking about directly before deciding.
Garden Spring runs 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips roughly 5% below its own weekday levels. That thin staffing shows in the numbers: 55.9% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record has 46 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $15,753 fine. Last survey was October 2024, so nothing here is stale. For-profit corporate ownership at 173 beds, with a 2/5 on inspections and a 2/5 on staffing, tells you where the pressure sits.
Nurse staffing at Edenbrook Of Greenwood Hill runs 3.61 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 7% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover sits at 62.2% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents weren't there a year ago. The inspection record shows 59 deficiencies, including 3 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, with $54,532 in fines across two penalties. The last inspection was August 2025.
Parkhouse runs a 467-bed building in Royersford, and the staffing numbers are the first thing I'd want you to see. It provides 2.97 nursing hours per resident per day against a national average of 3.86, roughly a quarter less care time than the typical home, and weekends drop about 7% below its own weekday level, which matters because that's when families often visit and problems surface. Staff turnover sits at 53% against a national 45.8%, so the aides and nurses working with residents are changing over fairly often. The inspection record shows 23 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5.
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.
Hanover Hall runs about 3.39 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday staffing. That matters in a 151-bed for-profit building, because the aides and nurses on Saturday and Sunday are the same thin pool stretched further. Turnover sits at 56.9% against a national 45.8%, so many of the people providing that care are new or on their way out. The current inspection record carries 49 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and one tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection was January 2026, so the history is recent, not stale.
Sapphire Care And Rehab Center runs on thin staffing. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly another 8% below its own weekday levels. The 60% annual turnover rate, against a national 45.8%, means the people providing that care are constantly changing. Inspections back this up: a 2/5 health inspection rating, 50 deficiencies on record including 2 abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. There's a real split here, the 4/5 quality measure rating shows clinical outcomes can look good on paper, but the 1/5 staffing rating tells you how hard that's being pushed. For-profit, limited liability ownership. Worth asking direct questions about weekend coverage and how they retain aides.
Green Valley runs 48 beds in Pottsville under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers show a building stretched thin. Nurse staffing sits at 3.69 hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 10% below its own weekday levels, so families visiting Saturday or Sunday may find fewer hands on deck. Staff turnover is 54% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing workforce turns over in a year.
The inspection record is heavier: 26 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, plus a $10,033 fine. The last inspection was December 18, 2025. All three CMS star categories land at 2 out of 5. If you're considering this home, ask specifically how weekend coverage and turnover are being managed, and request the abuse-related plans of correction.
Passavant Retirement and Health in Zelienople runs on strong staffing numbers: 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and turnover of 36.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. Then there's the inspection record, and it's the reason the grade lands where it does: 38 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 27, 2026. A church-affiliated nonprofit with 102 beds, this home staffs well and scores well on quality measures, but its last survey turned up serious problems. Read that inspection report before you decide.
