Peter Becker Community in Harleysville runs a 72-bed nonprofit home where nurse staffing comes in at 4.45 hours per resident day, roughly 15 percent above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 42.2 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the crew here is a bit more stable than most. The current record shows four deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was May 13, 2026, and the health, quality, and staffing ratings each came in at 4 out of 5 stars.

Margaret E. Moul Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home: 6.32 nurse hours per resident per day, about 64% more than the national average, and weekend coverage stays within roughly 13% of weekday levels. Turnover sits at 42.1%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean where it counts, seven deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in September 2025. Six fines totaling $15,382 is modest for a home this size. The tradeoff is quality measures landing mid-range at 3 out of 5 stars, so ask how the home is working on those outcomes.

Country Meadows Nursing Center Of Bethlehem runs about 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7 percent above the national average, and its staff turnover of 35.2 percent sits well under the 45.8 percent national figure, a meaningful edge in a field where constant retraining hurts care. Weekend staffing dips about 17 percent below weekday levels, so ask how weekends are covered. The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in July 2025. For-profit corporate ownership and 70 beds round out the picture; the numbers here lean favorable.

Luther Crest runs on 4.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 14% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in the weekend numbers too, weekends dip only about 9% below weekdays, which is milder than what many homes manage. The tradeoff is retention: turnover sits at 48.3%, a bit above the national 45.8%, so the staffing depth comes with a steady churn of faces. On the inspection side, the record is clean where it matters, seven deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, and the last survey was recent. Quality measures land at 4 of 5 stars. For a 60-bed nonprofit, the weak spot isn't care, it's keeping the people who deliver it.

Lgar Health and Rehabilitation runs 60 certified beds in Turtle Creek under nonprofit ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last surveyed in October 2024, with nine deficiencies on file and none involving actual harm or jeopardy. Two of those deficiencies are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Staffing is the softer spot, 3.68 total nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 6% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover of 34% beats the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay.

Bradford Ecumenical is a 100-bed nonprofit in McKean County, and the numbers back up its reputation. Nurse staffing runs about 4.20 hours per resident day, roughly 9% above the national average, though weekends dip about 14% below what the home provides on weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 32.7%, well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The health inspection record is clean: two deficiencies total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, and the last inspection was in July 2025. For a family weighing options, that combination, low turnover, recent inspection, no harm-level findings, is a solid, unglamorous picture.

Providence Point is a small nonprofit home in Pittsburgh, 42 beds, and its staffing is the headline: 4.70 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average, with a 5/5 staffing star. Turnover is the other standout at 17.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Weekends dip only about 3% below weekday coverage, which is a narrow gap. What pulls the record down is inspection history: 17 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $13,575 fine. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so that record is current. Strong staffing, mixed oversight.

Simpson House, a nonprofit home in Philadelphia, runs 4.09 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% above the national average of 3.86, though weekend coverage dips about 5% below what it manages on weekdays. Its five deficiencies on record include none at the harm level and none related to abuse, and its last inspection was in April 2026, so the picture is current. The staffing star comes in at 3 of 5 even with the above-average hours, which suggests the mix or consistency of coverage holds it back more than the raw number does.

The Rehabilitation Center at Jefferson Hills runs 4.50 nurse hours per resident day, about 17% above the national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in its four-star rating there. Weekend coverage slips roughly 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The concern sits on the inspection side: 30 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, and a two-star health inspection rating, though there are no abuse-related findings and a single fine of $8,281. Quality measures rate four stars, and the last inspection was February 2026.

Lutheran Home at Topton is a 194-bed church-affiliated nonprofit in Berks County, and the numbers mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.84 hours per resident day, a hair under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 47.6%, slightly above the national 45.8%, so expect some churn among aides. The stronger signals: a 4/5 health inspection rating, a 5/5 on quality measures, and just 12 deficiencies on record with none at the harm level and none related to abuse. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Indian Haven is county-owned, which matters here, government homes often run leaner on frills but steadier on staffing, and that shows up in its four-out-of-five staffing score. Total nurse coverage sits at 3.75 hours per resident day, roughly 3% under the national average, and weekends drop about 4% below its own weekday numbers, so weekend coverage is worth asking about directly. Turnover at 40% actually beats the national 45.8%. The harder reading is the inspection record: 44 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, with a two-out-of-five health inspection score. Quality measures scored five out of five, but that's self-reported data. One fine on record, $8,281, with the last inspection dated January 2026.

Saint John XXIII Home runs lean on nurse hours, 3.72 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. What stands out instead is stability: turnover at 20.5% is less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which matters more than raw hours because familiar staff notice changes sooner. The inspection record backs that up, with four deficiencies on file, none at the harm level and none involving abuse, and a survey completed in March 2026. Church-affiliated nonprofit ownership, 90 beds, and clean inspections carry real weight here.

Nurse staffing here runs at 8.65 hours per resident day, well over twice the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 7% below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly steady. Annual turnover sits at 20% against a national 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The current record shows 21 deficiencies with none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on July 9, 2025. The catch is in the quality measures, which sit at the bottom of CMS's scale even as staffing earns top marks, a split worth asking the administrator about directly.

Rehab At Shannondell runs 120 certified beds in Audubon under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers behind its grade are mostly steady rather than spectacular. Nurse staffing sits at 4.12 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, a dip worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays or Sundays. Turnover is 40.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning two in five caregivers left within the year. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 2 are abuse-related, which is the detail to press the administrator on directly. Its last inspection was April 28, 2026.

The Pennsylvania Soldiers and Sailors Home in Erie is a state-run veterans' home with 107 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 5.83 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's about half again the typical home, and turnover sits at 35.2% versus 45.8% nationally, meaning workers tend to stay longer here than at most places. Weekend coverage dips roughly 14% below its own weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. The ten deficiencies on the current record include two tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A March 2026 inspection, a four-star health inspection, and a two-star quality measure score round out a mixed but generally steady picture.

Allied Services Skilled Nursing Center runs 327 certified beds in Scranton under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.07 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average of 3.86. That's a real edge, though weekends drop about 20% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage isn't evenly spread across the week. Staff turnover is 33%, better than the national 45.8%, which matters for continuity of care. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated May 1, 2026. CMS gives it 4 stars for staffing and quality measures, 3 for health inspections.

Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% lighter than weekdays, worth asking about if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. What stands out more is retention: 21.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The home logged 14 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though two were abuse-related, a category worth reading closely. Its most recent inspection was March 20, 2026, so the picture is current.

The trade-off sits in the inspection record, 4 out of 5 stars, but five deficiencies on file, two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $16,036. Quality measures came in at 2 out of 5. Staffing is this home's strength; the safety history is what you'd want to press on directly.

Dr Arthur Clifton Mckinley Ctr runs 90 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its strongest asset is retention: 19.7% annual turnover against a national average of 45.8%. Staff tend to stay. The trade-off is raw coverage, 3.68 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 5% below the home's own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families visit. Thirteen deficiencies appear on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related. Inspectors were last in on December 4, 2025, which is recent enough to trust the findings.

Quality measures score well; the inspection side is where the concerns cluster.
