Beaumont At Bryn Mawr runs on a nonprofit model with 44 certified beds, and the staffing numbers stand out right away: 6.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 65% above the national average of 3.86. That cushion matters most on weekends, when hours dip about 15% below the home's own weekday level, still well above average, but worth knowing if you'll be visiting then. Turnover sits at 22.2%, less than half the national 45.8%, which suggests aides and nurses tend to stay. Only two deficiencies appear on the current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated May 2026.

Lutheran Community at Telford runs on 75 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 4.66 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 21% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is normal but worth knowing if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. Staff turnover sits at 27.1% against a national average near 46%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Six deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. The inspection and staffing ratings both came back 5 out of 5.

Maple Farm runs on a nonprofit model with 46 beds in Akron, and the numbers hold up well against national benchmarks. Nurse staffing sits at 4.55 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, with turnover at 30.5% compared to the national rate of 45.8%, meaning workers tend to stay longer here than at most homes. Weekend coverage dips about 14% below weekday levels, which is common but worth asking about. Five deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection completed in May 2025. For a family weighing options, the pattern here is steady staffing and a clean inspection history.

Staff turnover

0

Allied Services runs its transitional rehab unit with 5.33 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a third more staffing than the typical American nursing home, and weekends dip only about 6% below weekday levels. That consistency matters, since weekend coverage is where a lot of homes quietly fall apart. Staff turnover sits at 33.3%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Six deficiencies on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a December 2025 inspection that's still recent. It's a nonprofit with 51 beds, which keeps the operation small and lets the staffing numbers actually mean something. Nothing in the record reads as a warning sign.

Brethren Village runs a strong staffing operation: 5.21 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 35% above the national average, with turnover at 38.1% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about, since that's when families often visit. The trouble sits in inspections. Six deficiencies are on the current record, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. CMS gave the health inspection domain 2 out of 5 stars, even as quality measures scored 5 out of 5. That gap usually means the care itself looks fine on paper while the survey record tells a rougher story. The most recent inspection was January 30, 2026, recent enough that this reflects current conditions, not old ones.

Quarryville Presbyterian runs 130 certified beds as a church-affiliated nonprofit, and the staffing story here is mostly about retention. A 20.7% annual turnover rate is less than half the national figure of 45.8%, which matters more than the headcount itself: 3.87 nurse hours per resident day sits essentially right at the national average of 3.86, so this home isn't outstaffing anyone, it's keeping the people it hires. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 12 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though 2 are abuse-related and the last inspection was in August 2025.

St. Luke's in Coaldale runs on 4.37 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay: 20.9% annual turnover against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 15% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The current record shows 15 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. As a nonprofit with 48 beds, it's small enough that you can reasonably expect to know the people caring for your relative.

St. Anne's runs on about 5 nursing hours per resident per day, roughly 30% more than the national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, 25% annual turnover against a national rate near 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 18% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays or Sundays. The record is otherwise clean: five deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025. Quality and inspection ratings both land at 4 out of 5, staffing at 5.

Brookview Health Care Center runs 56 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation in Chambersburg, and its staff turnover sits at 32.9%, well below the 45.8% national average, which suggests people tend to stay. But the federal staffing rating comes in at just 1 out of 5, meaning the hours actually worked per resident fall short even if the workers who are there don't leave quickly. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $16,801 in fines across three events. The most recent inspection was March 27, 2026.

Saint Joseph Villa runs on 4.79 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the national average, and that help shows up on weekends too, dipping only about 9% below weekday levels rather than falling off a cliff. The church-affiliated nonprofit keeps its staff: 16.4% turnover against a national average near 46%, which is the kind of number that usually means consistent caregivers who know the residents. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, but nothing abuse-related, and a single $8,278 fine over a recent inspection this past March. Quality measures land mid-pack while staffing and inspections rate higher.

Cedarbrook is a county-run home in Allentown with 670 beds, and the staffing picture is the strongest thing it has going. At 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and turnover of 28.5% is well below the 45.8% national figure, a real advantage for a building this size, since consistent staff usually means residents see familiar faces. Weekends run roughly 10% lighter than weekdays, so ask how that plays out on the halls. Sixteen deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was April 2026, so the record is recent.

Lafayette-Redeemer runs about 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover sits at 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within the year. The inspection record is clean where it matters most: four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey completed in February 2025. That combination of steady staffing, a low-risk deficiency profile, and recent federal review is what puts this nonprofit home among the stronger performers in Philadelphia.

Pleasant View Communities runs 92 certified beds in Manheim under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the story here, 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, which is why CMS gives it five stars on staffing. Weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, so the care isn't perfectly even across the week, but the floor stays high. Turnover sits at 34.2%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for residents who rely on seeing familiar faces. Six deficiencies on record, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was July 2025. Quality measures come in at three stars, the softer spot, so there's room to improve on clinical outcomes even with strong hands on deck.

Moravian Village of Bethlehem runs on 4.33 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds within about 4 percent of weekday levels, a small dip that rarely means much. Staff turnover sits at 46.8 percent, a touch above the national figure of 45.8 percent, so retention is average rather than a strength. The record is otherwise clean: six deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection came in June 2025. As a nonprofit with 93 beds, it shows steady staffing and a recent, unremarkable survey history.

Mt Hope Nazarene in Manheim runs about 50 certified beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its record are steady rather than flashy. Nurse staffing sits at 4.09 hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level. Staff turnover is 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspectors logged 14 deficiencies on the current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in September 2024. That mix, adequate staffing, below-average turnover, and a clean harm record, is what separates this home from the pack.

The Rehabilitation Center at Brethren Village runs just 20 certified beds in Lancaster, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing sits at 8.52 hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86, and while weekend coverage dips about 8% below its own weekday level, that floor is still far above what most homes provide. Staff turnover is 31.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning fewer caregivers cycling out the door. Its inspection record shows one deficiency total, none at harm level, none abuse-related, with the last survey in July 2025.

St Barnabas runs 119 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.88 nurse hours per resident day, essentially even with the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 4% below its own weekday levels, so weekends run a little thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 42.2%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning roughly two in five staff leaving in a year. The 26 deficiencies on record include five tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level.

Souderton Mennonite Homes runs a 71-bed nonprofit operation in Montgomery County, and the staffing numbers are the story here: 4.46 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average. That matters more than any single inspection finding, since hands-on time is what families actually feel. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. Staff turnover sits at 35.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people stay. The current record shows nine deficiencies, none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related and deserves a specific question. The last inspection was April 2026; ask what's happened since.
